Developing and managing the future of apartment living
March 2015
Dear FJG Family, 

Spring is quickly approaching, and with that it is PEAK LEASING SEASON. While living up to TFJG's standards, let's strive to turn units as quickly as possible, so that we can lease, lease, lease! During the month of April, I would like to personally challenge ALL team members to submit occasions of associates living our core values. Email your submissions to [email protected] for your chance to win $500 in cash and lunch with Chris McKee and myself. Winners will be announced in May's newsletter.Good luck!


Sincerely,

 

 
Taylor Franklin

2015 Hampton Roads Market Review
We were a proud sponsor at the 20th anniversary of The Hampton Roads Real Estate Market Review and Forecast held on March 12th, 2015 at the Ted Constant Center on the campus of Old Dominion University. The event plays a key role in the area - bringing together experts to examine market performance and trends affecting real estate and development in the Hampton Roads. Director of Marketing, Caroline Forehand, attended the event and thought the review was very enlightening and encouraging about our future growth. "I enjoyed listening to some of the advice given by the panel that spoke on learning about our industry through their predecessors and some of the stories they shared about building the Amphitheater and the growth of Virginia Beach City Center. It was also fascinating to hear about the Multifamily industries growth in the last year and see that we are a part of it."

Caught In The Act

TFJG team members enjoyed celebrating St. Patrick's Day! One of the best ways that our team shows their enthusiasm for festive holidays is by telling their residents how much they are appreciated. "The simplest gestures, such as thanking people, recognizing their efforts and giving them a voice, fulfill emotional needs that are too often ignored on the job" - Stephen C. Lundin
