DEVELOPING AND MANAGING THE FUTURE OF APARTMENT HOME LIVING
August 2016
Dear FJG Family, 
It's been a pleasure hosting the morning coffee sessions. I have very much enjoyed spending time with our outstanding managers. This month, I had the opportunity to meet with six Community Managers; namely, Samantha Wallace at The Pointe at Pickett Farm, Niketa Washington at Sharps Landing, Karen Henderson at SouthWind, Heather Niegos at Tanglewood Lake, Aurelia Vaughn at Catalina Crossing, and Seneca Lynn at Waterford Pointe. 

During the morning coffee sessions, I received many ideas and suggestions for ways to improve our company for the future. All of the ideas are being considered and we will do our best to implement most of them throughout 2017.

I look forward to seeing everyone this fall. Thank you for all you do for The Franklin Johnston Group.

Taylor Franklin

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Team Member Fallon Birch of Summer House Apartments in Virginia Beach has been caught in the act of going above and beyond for a resident that was looking to move in the Hampton Roads area. The resident wrote a very kind letter that said,  "Fallon Birch has tirelessly helped me ever since I started looking for a new place to live two months ago. Over e-mails, phone, and on the tour of Summer House, I found she was a pleasure to work with. She has been polite, cheerful, professional, courteous, funny, and knowledgeable about the property. I have talked with the property managers at the Mayflower, Aqua, and many other Hampton Roads... trust me when I say that you have the best agent working with you. When I was trying to decide whether to move into Aqua or Summer House, Fallon was actually a top selling point that made me want to live at Summer House apartments."
