In managing maintenance tasks, I prioritize based on urgency and impact on the residents' daily lives. For immediate repairs, I coordinate with team members to address issues that could affect safety first, while scheduling routine maintenance tasks around high traffic times to minimize disruption.

Certainly! In my previous roles, I closely monitored maintenance costs while developing budgets. I used historical data to forecast expenses and identify areas to optimize spending, all while maintaining high standards for property maintenance.
