Lincoln Property Company , a national home and business real estate firm with 500 communities within its network, has seen the  traditional apartment search process go from word-of-mouth to mostly being driven by online reviews and social media. In other words, real estate has a lot in common with restaurants — and pretty much every business — in driving new customers. The real estate service company was struggling to manage all the customer reviews of its multi- family housing . As a result, its search rankings were slipping. Lincoln Property first tapped a reputation management company in 2012. While things improved, its strategy nevertheless suffered from a gap when it came to social media listening/responding and online presence management . Last year, Lincoln Property turned to Chatmeter, an online presence and reviews management platform . In a matter of weeks, Lincoln Property’s total review quantity rose 71 percent with a 277 percent increase in the number of reviews po...

6 2100 Maryland Ave NE Washington, DC 20002 (202) 640-1364 As a property management professional myself, I must say that Fairway Park has the absolute BEST customer service I have ever experienced in all my years of searching for apartments! Lacy, Regina, and all of the office staff are always very helpful and friendly, and they really take the time to go above and beyond to make sure they meet your needs, from the time you lease your apartment, and while you are a resident at the community. The maintenance staff is also very efficient and quick to take care of any service requests that you may have. They are always very responsive and professional, provide you updates to your requests, and work hard to ensure that all of your issues are resolved in a very timely manner. I recommend Fairway Park Apartments to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and affordable community to live, and who are anticipating a smooth and easy application process . The apartments are finished with hard...

University shuttle operations can use school vacations, like winter or spring breaks, for driver education and training sessions. Summer may be a quiet time on a college campus , but for operators of on- and off-campus bus and shuttle services , summer vacation is no time for relaxing. The proverbial to-do list is a long one that includes addressing issues around staffing vehicle maintenance , route planning , marketing, budgeting, and maybe even international relations. Each school is unique due to the size of the campuses, student bodies, and their locations within their local communities. But, virtually all of them have two key things in common: the layout of the routes and an “off season.” Compared to a standard bus service with a dozens of routes that wind their way through an entire city all year long, a university service requires fewer routes and stops and transports riders to one location — the campus. That means when the spring semester ends , operators can scale back the ...

The last time I saw my drone, it had disappeared out of sight over my house. Towards the North Sea. The whirr of its rotor blades drowned out by squawking birds. It was out of my control, ignoring my commands — not to mention quite a few F-bombs. I retreated indoors clutching the (now useless) remote control. How do you explain to the other half (or the other third, as I’m told to say) that you have just lost the birthday present they bought you for £600? Awkward. How I loved that drone! Desire for a totally unnecessary gizmo is usually inspired by something unconnected. Until recently, I was on the UK board of a European real estate advisory company . We were huddled around a conference phone that makes everyone sound as if they’re in the bog, in a meeting room that can at best be described as drab. White melamine table , slightly uncomfortable stacking chairs that were fashionable in the ’90s and glass partitions inscribed with the word “inspirational” (only a property advisory ...

[PNG Merlin Archive] PNG PNG Savvy buyers of new apartments in Metro Vancouver tend to do their research on who’s building them. Good reputations take years to develop and the people at Townline are using the company’s reputation for quality in their sales pitch for The Parker, a new 47-home development in the ever- popular Cambie corridor . Townline is a local operation that has been building homes in Vancouver since 1981. Back then, it was single-family homes, but the company has since branched out to building multi-family homes, mixed-use buildings, rental apartments and non- market developments in Metro Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. “Buyers in today’s market are increasingly choosing developments based on the reputation of the developers,” said Chris Colbeck, Townline’s vice-president of sales and marketing. “A big part of our sales pitch at The Parker is that we’re a local developer.
