- Conducted presentations, tours, and suite viewings while delivering comprehensive product knowledge to clients.

This meticulous procedure involved the completion of lease documents and thorough assessment of financial capabilities by scrutinizing financial capabilities – i.e. salary and commissions, credit reports, history of bill payments, and cross-referencing with at least two previous references/landlords.
