Name: Sheryl Ramientas

Title: Assistant Property Manager

Company: CW Sparks Management

Q: How long have you been with HomeSource?

A: 12+ years

Q: Tell me what a typical day looks like for you?

A: Each day for me is like navigating through a vibrant bazaar of organized chaos. It begins with the essential morning ritual of coffee, which sets the pace for a day filled with a variety of tasks for my team of virtual assistants. There are no meetings on my calendar—just a steady stream of projects, each requiring its own strategy and execution. I juggle these tasks with precision, ensuring that every detail is attended to and every team member is on track.

Q: What is your biggest challenge?

A: My biggest challenge, which I also view as a crucial opportunity for growth, is continually adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of real estate and property management. Keeping pace with the latest technologies, methodologies, and industry standards, all while ensuring my team remains motivated, educated, and ahead of the curve, is a dynamic puzzle. It requires not just staying informed myself but also fostering an environment of continuous learning and adaptability within my team. This challenge keeps me on my toes, ensuring that both personally and professionally. We're not just meeting the standards but setting them.

Q: What do you love about your job?

A: What I truly appreciate about my job is the day-to-day variety and the chance to tackle a wide range of tasks. Each project brings its own set of challenges, keeping my problem-solving skills sharp and my days interesting. I also value the strong sense of teamwork and the supportive community we've built here. Being able to rely on and learn from my colleagues is something I cherish deeply. Moreover, the stability and structure the role provides allow me to hone my existing skills and become more efficient and effective in my domain. It's these aspects — variety, community, and mastery of my work — that I love the most about my job.

Q: Tell me your craziest resident story:

A: There was this time when a resident, let's call them 'Alex,' decided to adopt a pet without checking the pet policy. Alex's new companion was not your typical cat or dog but a miniature pig named 'Porkchop.' Porkchop was quite the character, known for his escape artist antics, leading to several amusing chase sequences in the hallways. It certainly added some unexpected excitement to our routine! Of course, we had to address the pet policy with Alex, but Porkchop's brief residency brought many smiles and is a story we still laugh about. It was a reminder of the unpredictability in property management and the importance of clear communication about policies.

Q: How did you find out about FilterTime’s Property Management Program?

A: I actually have Austin (a Broker at CW Sparks) to thank for finding FilterTime’s Property Management Program. He had been on the lookout for solutions to enhance our efficiency and stumbled upon their services. Impressed by the potential benefits, Austin brought it to our team's attention, and after some collective research and discussion about how it could fit into our operations, we decided to give it a go.
