· Use courteous, solution-focused communication and avoid arguments, dismissive language, gossip, or unprofessional conversations.

· Coordinate with the manager and maintenance team regarding outstanding make-ready items and help verify completion when assigned.

· Walk common areas, models, amenities, and tour routes routinely and report lighting, grounds, trash, signage, cleanliness, or safety concerns.
