About Riley N.

I am a team leader. I lead my team by teaching them the skills necessary to excel at the task at hand as well as any future tasks they may encounter. Their ideas and input are vital to everyone's success as no one person can solve all problems that arise. My team is responsible, hard-working, and always going the extra mile.I am a motivated and driven individual. Failure is the key to success. Through everything that I've done correctly in my life, I've also failed more times than I'd like to admit. When you fail at something that you love to do, you correct your mistakes and try again and again until you are the best you can be. I am a creative thinker. When I was 16 I wrote a novel. My first draft contained 55,000 words of what I had hoped to be the end of a memorable journey. As time went on and my editing continued, I realized that I still had a lot to learn and a lot more to tell. So much so that the next draft had a word count that exceeded 95,000. True satisfaction is not something that comes easy, but it is through the hard work that makes it all worth it.I am a storyteller. This is an art that I learned from my journey throughout life. It is something that humans have done since language was first conceived. It is through our stories that we share life's greatest treasures. I have been lucky enough in my life to have been surrounded by friends and mentors that have molded me into the individual that I am today through this magnificent art.I am a problem solver. Whether it is learning about a new process or refining the old, my mentors have entrusted me with finding the best solutions to our toughest problems. When I help first-time renters find their new home, there are plenty of challenges to traverse through. This can be anything from; their living preference, budget, occupants, financing, relocating, move-in timeline, and many more. As each of our renters will tell you, the journey was always worth it.My primary goal with the task at hand, whether it is process improvement, teaching someone to love their job, or helping someone in need, I want to make sure that I can do that task as efficiently and effectively as possible and I will not stop until I'm successful.

    I was consistently one of our top Leasing Agents when it came to selling and literally wrote a script on exactly how I can answer the phone from a new prospect who is simply interested in hearing more about us, to having them sign a full lease within 24 to 48 hours and sometimes before the phone call was over.I excelled in making necessary phone calls to current and potential residents, giving tours which likely resulted in the guest signing a lease within 24 hours, knowing the lease inside and out, always being available to cover a shift, and above all else, handling an unfortunate situation while staying calm, collected, and making sure the right steps are taken to resolve the event appropriately.
