    020- It's Someone's Castle | PX Multifamily

    Multifamily Excellence: Treating Every Home Like a Castle What if every apartment you managed was a castle? In this episode, host Mary Gwyn redefines customer service with a simple yet powerful mindset shift. Mary Gwyn shares a profound lesson inspired by her team member Lisa Bisher, Director of Property Management: Every apartment home is someone’s castle. Whether it’s a luxury unit or a more modest apartment, embracing this perspective sets a new standard for how multifamily professionals should approach property management and the delivery of exceptional customer service . Mary recounts a pivotal experience with a maintenance supervisor, emphasizing the importance of leaving a home better than you found it — no excuses.

    015 - The Connection Between Preventive Maintenance and The People Experience! | PX Multifamily

    Preventive Maintenance Impacts the People Experience and Hiring in Multifamily What does preventive maintenance have to do with keeping your team happy and attracting top talent? Let’s break it down! Hey everyone, it's Mary Gwyn host of PX Multifamily, the People Experience podcast! Today, I’m waving a flag about preventive maintenance and the reality that it isn't just about fixing things — it's about enhancing the entire people experience and improving your hiring prospects. Tracy Beck recently discussed risk management in multifamily, pointing out that preventive maintenance plays a critical role in reducing risks. Think of it this way: a quick 15-minute check on a condensation line now can prevent hours of cleanup and major resident disruption later. But here's the real kicker — preventive maintenance significantly reduces those dreaded after-hours calls that your maintenance team despises. If you're struggling to hire maintenance talent, you've probably heard it: on-call duty is a big turn-off. However, with a sound preventive maintenance program, you improve the maintenance team's work-life balance and enhance the resident experience. This win-win makes your property more attractive to prospective hires, and keeps your current team happier. So, how do you sell this to potential team members? Show them the data — highlight how many calls you’ve minimized through proactive upkeep. It's a strong selling point!

    014 - The Benefit of Uncomfortable Seats | PX Multifamily

    The Uncomfortable Path to Multifamily Success: Get Out of Your Seat Ever wondered how to truly drive success in the multifamily industry? Spoiler alert: it starts by getting out of your chair and into the field. Let's discuss why being uncomfortable is the key to thriving! In this episode of the People Experience podcast - PX Multifamily, Mary Gwyn, Chief Innovator of Apartment Dynamics, challenges the status quo for leaders in the multifamily sector. She draws a powerful analogy between McDonald's hard seats and the necessity for leaders to actively avoid their comfort zones. Mary advocates for leaders to "inspect what they expect" by leaving their desks behind and engaging directly with the communities they oversee. By being present on-site, leaders can observe operations first-hand, catch teams doing great work, identify opportunities for improvement, and learn firsthand the challenges created by corporate-driven policy decisions. Mary shares eye-opening experiences from her own career, from arriving at properties to find absentee staff, to witnessing teams heroically managing tropical storm cleanup. She stresses the importance of looking beyond reports, listening to team members, learning from every interaction, and leaning in to provide hands-on support. The episode emphasizes how active engagement can help leaders better understand and solve the real-world challenges faced by their teams, ultimately ensuring profitability and success.
