Mr. or Ms. Mayor

Being the property manager is a little like being the mayor. I took a tour of an office and retail mix complex with the site manager the other day and was amused to see him waving, greeting, smiling at and teasing tenants as he passed their offices or passed them in the hallways. I thought to myself, that everyone in the building would vote for him, if he stood for election. Then I realized that he does run a campaign. He campaigns to keep his tenants. He campaigns to collect rent on time. He campaigns to get cooperation on building policy matters. He campaigns to keep his job and to get an increase in salary every review.

So you might want to think about how you and/or your managers carry out the duty of property mayor. It is not only a fun way to look at it, but a very practical way to look at it as well.

Bye for now, Tron
