It might be Awards Season in Hollywood, but weve got an announcement of our own at Weidner: Reyna Perez is our Featured Associate Spotlight winner! Reyna started with Weidner as a Leasing Consultant at Castlepark in February of 2014 and since then, her positive, can-do attitude has made her a superstar in our California region. Her hard work paid off this past February, when she was promoted to Assistant Community Director at a new acquisition: Artisan at Main Street Metro. Reyna never looks at any task as being outside her job description and is always the first to volunteer to help out her teammates, said Cindy Schwartz, Area Director in California. Reynas positive attitude is infectious, making her a great leader. She makes it her goal to have a positive impact on every individual she encounters throughout the day, and residents take notice and appreciate this admirable quality! Reynas favorite part of her job as an Assistant Community Director is interacting with her residents, and being able to go that extra mile to help out. She attributes her success to thinking and speaking with a positive attitude and persevering through tough times. Ive been through a lot with the acquisition, says Reyna, and Ive never said Im done. Theres no stopping me! At Castlepark, Reyna maintained a 44% closing ratio, one of the highest recorded at the community, earning the title of Leasing Superstar several times while working at the property. Since accepting the role of Assistant Community Director at Artisan, Reyna has helped to increase their occupancy by over 5%. Reynas consistent, positive attitude sets her apart, as well as her caring and friendly demeanor, said Mandy Urfer, Community Director at Artisan. Prospects and residents draw close to Reyna because she truly cares about each and every one of them. She has a big heart and goes above and beyond for everyone. Mandy also remembers a time when a resident was upset about their broken washer, and wanted it to be replaced immediately. Maintenance was short staffed that day, so Reyna took off her heels, rolled up her sleeves, and helped maintenance move the washer out of the residents apartment and replace it with a new one. I was in awe of her that day as I learned of what she had done, said Mandy. Reyna has five children, ranging in age from 6 to 16. She enjoys cooking and spending quality time with her family. When shes not busy with her own family, Reyna can usually be found helping out her extended family of friends, coworkers and residents. Reynas infectious, positive attitude is a shining example of what we mean when we say: What matters to you, matters to us. From the Weidner team – thank you for being you, Reyna! Congratulations!
