I met the VP of Wilder Man- ley Associates while working as a part-time weekend rental associate. Mr. Manley thought I would be the perfect sales person for a condo conversion project that was about to start in CT. He told me if I was successful in getting my real estate license, a job within his company would be waiting. Needless to say, I enrolled in the first class I could find and from there my career changed forever from Social Worker to Real Estate Professional. 5. What is your least favor- ite part of the job? Picking up cigarette butts. The team and I really pride our- selves on the community's curb appeal, and are so disillusioned by the careless discarding of trash and cigarette butts. We are totally committed to offering our residents the best living conditions we can. and work hard to maintain both the interior as well as exterior areas of the community. 6. Best part of the job? I so enjoying meeting our future residents and residents. Whether it is a person looking for a new home or a resident who has questions, concerns or suggestions. Each person who enters thru the door has such unique and interesting stories of how they arrived at Vintage. Both myself and the Vintage team, find it so gratifying when we are able to make a positive difference in someone's daily life. No two days are ever alike, and the adrenalin of address- ing many different demands is stressful, but gratifying when at the end of the day, you have happy associates and residents. 7.
