Pre-Screening Candidates by Ryszard Wojtuniecki

by Ryszard Wojtunecki

As a Property Manager, I have seen firsthand the need to pre-screen tenants. Just as tenants research before landing on a property, property managers need to do the same. My screening methods may differ depending on the type of property I am looking to fill. The first step to pre-screening can simply be the language in the listing. Including pricing, size of the space, and a note that a background check is required can set a good standard. Once you contact a potential tenant, determine a list of questions that help you and the tenant learn if the space is a mutually good fit. Be sure to talk about dates, any deposits or fees, and any concerns with the space during this conversation. Having a list ready to go beforehand will ensure you touch on all topics and keep the conversation on track. Although things can always come up during a lease period, setting the correct expectations during pre-screening communications can help ease the minds of both the tenant and the property manager. 

Are You Moving Out Soon? by Ryszard Wojtuniecki

Moving can be an exhausting process. The process can seem overwhelming, from packing up your belongings and labeling boxes to finding a place for everything in your new home. I have a few tips to make things a little easier next time you have a big move coming up. 

  1. Take Inventory: Before you move, make a list of everything you plan to take to the new home. Identify items that can be donated or thrown away, and clean those out first. Categorize the smaller items you are taking, and designate a place for them in the new home. Make a list of things that you are bound to forget in advance. Keep adding to the list as you go. 
  2. Give Yourself Time: Start packing as soon as the details of your move are finalized. Decide what you won’t need before the move and pack those items first. Moving in the summer? Pack the winter clothes first and get those ready to go. Save the smaller things you will need up until the last minute and leave a box for them. Let that be the last box you tape up.
  3. Identify Your Items: Take the boxing process seriously. Label all boxes with things that you will remember. Try to avoid abbreviations or phrasing that you may forget by the time you are unpacking. Commit to the names on the box, resist the urge to throw a small bedroom item into the box labeled “kitchen”. These small things will save you time in the long run. 
  4. Have a Timeline: What time will you load the trucks? How long is the drive to the new home? What time do you hope to complete the move? Don’t stress out about sticking precisely with the timeline, but allow it to work as an outline for the day to help stay on track. 
  5. Embrace Change: Your new home is bound to look different. Don’t stress if something does not have an exact space like it used to. Allow yourself time to settle into the new home and make it your own. 

Dealing With Cyber Attacks by Ryszard Wojtuniecki

by Ryszard Wojtuniecki

I was constantly deleting spam emails, dealing with phishing attacks, and trying to avoid viruses. I was at a loss as to how to get a handle on these issues. Luckily, I was able to work with my friends at Oma Comp, who provided some answers. I had heard from others in my business that some IT companies were a waste of money, but I was so lucky to find Oma Comp. They provided a quick consultation where they shared some risks to which I may be exposed and how to best back up my information. Oma Comp brought up so many topics I hadn’t thought of before. With their help, we developed a plan to back up information on my iPad, work computer, cell phone and even maintain an email backup. They helped me acquire and install proper tools to protect me and my data, and they left no stone unturned. I feel so much more secure with my cybersecurity after working with Oma Comp, and I recommend anyone with any sort of internet presence to do the same.

Pack the winter clothes first and get those ready to go. Save the more minor things you will need until the last minute and leave a box for them. Let that be the last box you tape up.
  3. Identify Your Items: Take the boxing process seriously. Label all boxes with things that you will remember. Try to avoid abbreviations or phrasing that you may forget by the time you are unpacking.
