Complexities of Property Management

One of the joys of property management is the variety! One of the shops we manage lost power, and to fix it we needed to take power off the shop next door, a beauty shop. I went in to negotiate with them, and was given a gap in their schedule late that afternoon, but meanwhile my shop would be without air conditioning. A bit of negotiation and a box of luxury candles allowed the work to start immediately, with the beauty shop clients enjoying wax facials by scented candle-light. A few minutes later air conditioning was restored to our shop and everyone was happy. Including the owner who didn't have to pay for a second visit by the electrician.
