Edis Renderos
Make Ready
Ashford Cove at Briar Forest
Teamwork - It’s All About "We, Not Me"
Selflessness is one of Edis' notable qualities, as he is always willing to help and never says no. He stays on top of everything that happens on the property and is always available to lend a hand to his team members. If the girls are alone and need help showing units, he will take the initiative to assist them. Similarly, if the porter requires help with a trash out, Edis volunteers to help. In fact, he helps the porter pick up trash throughout the entire property every morning.
Edis does not let his "make ready" title limit him, as he takes the initiative to fulfill leasing and ticket runner tasks. Whenever Edis notices anything out of place on the property, he respectfully approaches the author and asks if they can walk the area of concern together. He possesses excellent leadership skills and even got in agreement with the porter to clean up all the gutters for the first two weeks of the current month. Moreover, he scheduled himself along with the porter to repair the entire fence on the property for the following month. Edis also strategizes with maintenance staff on how to remain under budget and not overspend.
Edis has a humble heart and desires to help out in every possible way. Although still a quiet person, he works passionately and diligently, always being there for his team members and even other properties. He never questions when asked to help out in other properties, making him an even greater person.
