JOB I HAD BEFORE ENTERING THE APARTMENT INDUSTRY: Lifeguard (seriously) FAVORITE
“NEW” RESTAURANT: I like too many restaurants to list – Luca Italia is my
stand-by followed closely by any good/cheap Mexican restaurants….
AMENITY YOU’D LIKE TO INVENT: Ok, you said no restrictions… I’d like a package
delivery system to each unit that works like the bank drive up tellers
- shoot the package thru air tunnels and deposit them in people’s
apartments. ATTRIBUTES YOU LOOK FOR IN NEW EMPLOYEE? Integrity, sense of
humor and desire. HOW DO YOU KEEP WORK FUN FOR YOUR TEAM? We try to see
humor in the things that happen every single day. This business
has the most interesting experiences/events/incidents – it is never
boring and frequently hilarious. We need to remind each other to
see the fun so we don’t all go insane. PROFESSIONAL PET PEEVE? Overpromising and under-delivering.

DUSTRY

JOB I HAD BEFORE ENTERING THE APARTMENT INDUSTRY: Director of Acquisitions for
a home builder in Washington, D.C. FAVORITE “NEW” RESTAURANT: Acorn in
The Source on Brighton Blvd. AMENITY YOU’D LIKE TO INVENT: A dog park
area for a high rise building that needs absolutely no maintenance
or upkeep. Develop that amenity and you will be rich! WHEN WILL THE
DOW BREAK 20,000? Assuming a Republican President, it would be during
the next term. WHEN WILL METRO DENVER RENT BE OVER $1200, $1300? As more
new product enters the market at very high price points, it won’t
be that long. I will say end of ’15. “GO-TO” INTERVIEW QUESTION? If we were
to offer you the job and your current employer offers to match our
offer, what would you say? ATTRIBUTES YOU LOOK FOR IN NEW EMPLOYEE? Tenure
at at last two companies (because everyone can make a mistake
once- but if they are short termers twice. BEST DECISION LAST SIX MONTHS?
Dropping a controversial site and selling our plans to another
developer. WORST DECISION LAST SIX MONTHS? See previous question. HOW
DO YOU KEEP WORK FUN FOR YOUR TEAM? Can’t give away all the RedPeak secret
sauce! PROFESSIONAL PET PEEVE? Being consistently late to meetings.
Everyone’s time has equal value.
