Dear FJG Family,
The past thirty days have been very exciting! We are steadily finishing up MRI X and beginning to adapt the software into our culture. It is exhilarating to be on the cutting edge of multifamily technology.
During the third week of July, the most prestigious business newspaper in Hampton Roads known as Inside Business has awarded our company as one of the best places to work. Around 40 or so associates went to the luncheon where Tom Johnston and I accepted the award. The Franklin Johnston Group would never have had any chance on winning the award without the dedication of each and every one of you. Thank you for all that you do to help create the culture that allows the company to be a great place to work.
As I mentioned in a recent email that went out to the entire company; I have made it my mission to visit every community by the end of the year. The past two days I have traveled to all of our beautiful communities in Northern Virginia. It is truly amazing to see how well all of the team members interact with each other. During my visit, I had a very special moment with Gabe Campbell. He is a very talented and charismatic maintenance engineer at The Abbey & Devon at South Riding. As many of you know, my favorite thing to do at the properties is to challenge you with the core values and see how you are living by them. Unfortunately, Gabe refused my normal $100 bet but recited the core values perfectly. Keep up the great work! See you soon!
Sincerely,
|

Caught In The Act
Sarah Southerland, Senior Community Manager at Tanglewood Lake Apartments said,
"Jeff Pitzer and Tim Story at Tanglewood Lake demonstrated an impressive act of customer service which made me extremely proud to have them not only on my team but also to work alongside them at The Franklin Johnston Group."
Recently due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, the team had to relocate some of their new residents within the community. The residents moved in about a month prior and had just finished settling in when an emergency forced the team to have to move the residents out. They hired a local moving company to move their furniture and large objects. The morning of the relocation day, Sarah Southerland mentioned, "Jeff and Tim entered the apartment and took pictures and made note of every detail within the residents' apartment, down to the placement of the toothpaste, Jeff and Tim watched the movers closely, paying special attention to how they handled the residents belongings so nothing would be damaged during the transition. Then, they went and unpacked the residents' things themselves and set everything back up exactly how it had been in the prior apartment including placing the razor next to the shaving cream and hanging their pictures back on the wall for them."
Thank you, Jeff Pitzer and Tim Story for your dedication and workmanship at Tanglewood Lake! We appreciate your hard work and attention to detail while delivering uncompromised customer service.
