JMC Takes Over NAA's Residential Property Management Careers Week!

Thank you for participating in the most recent trivia question! The question asked, "What popular summer treat was accidentally invented in 1905?" The answer is the popsicle! According to NPR, "Back in 1905, a San Francisco Bay Area [11-year-old] kid by the name of Frank Epperson accidentally invented the summertime treat. He had mixed some sugary soda powder with water and left it out overnight. It was a cold night, and the mixture froze.”

JMC & Co celebrated NAA's Residential Property Management Careers Week everyday last week. This weeklong celebration was created to promote greater awareness about all the different careers in the apartment industry. Our employees enjoyed the social media challenge as well as The JMC Draw on Apartment Onsite Teams Day.

The week started with a social media challenge! All photo submissions from the properties can be sent in for a chance to win an Amazon gift card for every member of the winning team! JMC & Co kicked off the celebrations with Maintenance Monday. Our properties snapped pictures of their maintenance teams to post on social media and tell followers what makes their maintenance team so special.

Our leasing staff does a fantastic job taking the time to put special resident events together and to coordinate with local businesses to make each event unique to the community. All the hard work has paid off as our JMC & Co communities have been enjoying all the fun summer kickoff celebrations for our residents!

The team at The Commons at SouthField Highlands worked diligently to put together a fantastic 10 year anniversary celebration of the property with a grand summer "gala" event.
