Employee of the Month

Felix Ramos

Felix Ramos

Maintenance

Ashford Stancliff Park

Excellence - Go the Extra Mile

Felix has been with the company for more than 3 years. When his manager first came to Ashford, they were unaware of his quality and attitude. However, after a year, they can confidently say that he is the greatest asset to Ashford.

As a lead maintenance personnel, Felix does not only close tickets and make residents happy, but he goes above and beyond by coming up with new ideas on how to cut costs and increase revenue for the property. Whenever the individual tells him what they want, he always comes up with plans on how to do it and never says no. Here is a list of things he has done to reduce costs:

Blue Pump: Instead of buying a new blue pump, Felix started fixing the pump by only changing the impulser, which saved the property around $800 to $1000.
Boiler Heat Exchanger: Instead of calling vendors to fix the heat exchange for $7000 to $8000, Felix came up with the idea to take out the heat exchange, clean it or replace only the damaged tube which costs only $2000.
AC Heat Pump to No Heat Pump: Felix came up with the idea to rewire and get around the AC unit so that the property does not have to use a heat pump during the winter season, eliminating the need for freon.
Shop Remodeling: Steve came up with the new plans to remodel the shop, and Felix built and organized it as they wanted.

During the time of freeze, Felix was at the property all day and night to fix the leak. His commitment, hardworking attitude, ownership mentality, care, and going above and beyond are the qualities that make him a good candidate to deserve the EOM award.er service.

Edis Renderos

Edis Renderos

Make Ready

Ashford Cove at Briar Forest

Teamwork - It’s All About "We, Not Me"

Edis is known for being a quiet and diligent employee. When he was first met, he appeared to be a shy and reserved individual who kept to himself. However, Edis has since undergone a significant transformation, displaying a keen interest in learning, growing and improving in any way he can to help his team members shine. He is a selfless individual who is always willing to lend a hand and stays on top of everything happening on the property.

Edis goes out of his way to support his team members, offering to help whenever needed. For example, if the girls are alone and have a full office, he takes the initiative to help show units. Similarly, if the porter needs help with a trash-out, Edis always volunteers to assist, and he even helps the porter pick up trash throughout the entire property every morning. When there are too many tickets in the system, Edis takes the initiative and starts running tickets, despite having the title of "make ready."

Edis is always on the lookout for things that need to be fixed or improved on the property. When he notices something out of place, he respectfully approaches his manager and asks to walk the area of concern with him. He has excellent leadership skills and has even collaborated with the porter to clean up all the gutters for the first two weeks of the month. He has also scheduled himself, along with the porter, to repair the entire fence on the property in the following month.

Edis also goes above and beyond his duties to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Despite his many contributions to the team and property, Edis remains humble and selfless. He never asks for anything in return and is only interested in the well-being of every resident and staff member. For this reason, his manager has nominated him as the employee of the month of February, although he believes Edis should receive recognition every month. Edis is an asset to the team and is highly deserving of this recognition.
