Resident Services Corner
The first quarter of 2025 is wrapping up fast and as we continue into the new year, we wanted to share some essential tips so we can continue to put our best foot forward. It is important we utilize the technology that is provided & stand by our policies & procedures; however, we sometimes forget about the fundamentals. Incessant attention and acting on things before they become a bigger issue is just as important. Being critical of your property, consistently raising the bar, is necessary to properly maintain our communities. Details do matter and help fill gaps to create the big picture.
Filling In the Gaps &


Outside of our quarterly scheduled maintenance, habitual assessments of our communities are just as important, for not only property preservation, but to ensure resident safety and satisfaction. By combining Hawthorne’s scheduled maintenance with systematic inspections of critical areas, we become better at proactively managing the assets while providing a secure and well-maintained environment for everyone. Below are some examples of items we should frequently check.
• Roofing: Frequently inspect for any signs of damage, such as missing shingles, leaks, or sagging. Regular roof maintenance prevents water damage and prolongs the roof’s life.
• Storm Distribution Systems: Habitually check gutters, down spouts, storm drains & retention/ detention ponds. These systems are crucial for all aspects of property preservation, curb appeal and resident satisfaction.
• Structural Elements: Consistently examine foundations, walls, walkways and balconies for any cracks or signs of wear. Addressing structural issues promptly can prevent further damage and maintain the property’s integrity.
• Electrical Systems: Always keep a look out for any exposed wiring, faulty outlets, or circuit breaker issues. Maintaining the electrical system ensures tenant safety and reduces the risk of fires.
• Sewer & Potable Water System: Regularly check leaks, clogs, and signs of corrosion. Ensuring the plumbing system is in good condition will prevent water damage, improve water efficiency and resident satisfaction.
• Ventilation: Often check the operation and function of the ventilation system for the clothes dryers, bathroom exhaust and attic fans. Improper operation of ventilation can increase internal humidity levels, cause suspicious microbial growth and inadequate cooling or heating of the HVAC systems.
• Common Areas: Daily inspect hallways, staircases, breezeways, parking lots & shared amenities for cleanliness and safety hazards. Well-maintained common areas enhance curb appeal and resident satisfaction and safety.

When to inspect our communities:

• During the daily grounds inspection: While picking up the grounds, focus on the big picture. It is perfect time to scan the property as a team, document things you find and create a service request. Even if you do not get to it right away, at least it has been identified and documented.
• While we arrive and leave the property: This is a great time to pay attention to the entrance and exit points. First impressions matter when it comes to expected tenants, and our residents should feel proud every time they enter their community.
• While completing work orders: Completing work orders is a good opportunity to pay attention to details. As we are using the stairs, elevators, walkways, and breezeways, we should identify and document problem areas.
• During a rain event: Being safe should be your priority, so if it’s a heavy downpour with lightning, you will need to be prepared.
During an event, it is a perfect time to check the storm water system, inspecting gutters, downspouts, storm drains and retention ponds. This will tell you a lot about how efficient the storm distribution system is performing. It will also isolate issues like flooding, ponding and if water is inundating structures.
Mindset is Key: New Mindset New Results
• Adopt the mentality: Constantly scrutinizing our communities is crucial for maintaining them. Regularly examining the condition allows us to spot potential problems early, addressing them before they develop into significant issues.
• Prepare to be proactive: While you’re out and about, utilize the tools we have but don’t forget core fundamentals to achieve goals. Always be prepared, use your phone, or always carry a notepad to document items you have identified. Take pictures, it is super-efficient and worth a thousand words.
• Follow through: Pinpointing and documenting issues is all well and good, but don’t forget to create a service request in Net Vendor Maintenance. Make sure to check all the boxes, if you miss a step, more than likely, issues will be forgotten and become a much bigger problem.

Five Star Resident Reviews

Hawthorne Northwest By:
Chris R-H / Google
Excellent Service! Had an emergency maintenance issue, and Dillon showed up super fast and even took the time to engage with my son, which I really appreciate! He knocked out everything I needed and made the whole process easy. Definitely appreciate the solid work. This man deserves a raise!
Palladian at Promenade By:
Tia Wheatley / Google
We relocated to Madison for my husband’s job and were searching for a living situation that was comfortable for our family (including toddler and two dogs), and we found that at the Palladian! The townhome is so spacious, the dogs love the backyard, the screened in patio is perfect during summer, and the location of the townhomes are SO close to everything you need on Hwy 72! We are also so grateful for the community here - Kelly and her team are amazing! They always go above and beyond - and just the little things like having events for the community to come together over, has been so fun. We couldn’t have picked a better location to move to in Madison!
Evolve at Lake Norman By:
Nicolle Gallo / Google
This apartment complex is amazing! They have been so accommodating to ALL of my needs and are so quick to respond to any questions I have for them. The apartment itself is beautiful and has everything I need. I can only imagine what it’s going to be like when all of the amenities are ready! They truly care about my dog and me. Thanks so much!
Hawthorne Palmetto By: Anonymous / Apartments.com
I rented my apartment without seeing it, as I was relocating from Florida. Reagan and Krystal were wonderful and always available to answer any questions. Trust me, I had a lot, as moving from another state is cumbersome. The apartments are more stunning in person with wide hallways and tons of extra closets for storage. Extremely clean community with numerous events held for the residents. I am thrilled to call Hawthorne Palmetto my home. If I could give more than five stars I would!
Live It Stories
Shoutout to our RSS, Kevin Blackmon, for his incredible response after a fire displaced eight apartment homes over the weekend. Kevin immediately stepped in—helping rehome residents, move salvageable belongings, and coordinate with the restoration team. His calm, proactive approach embodies the “Live It” attitude we value at The Pines. Kevin, your dedication to both resident safety and team support does not go unnoticed. We’re beyond grateful to have you on our team!
I want to recognize Heather Cundiff for her incredible leadership during the recent fire at Hawthorne at the Pines. She immediately took charge—checking on every resident, ensuring pets were safe, and securing new homes so no one had to go without shelter.
Heather went above and beyond, personally purchasing essentials like air mattresses and toiletries, coordinating with first responders, and even entertaining kids while parents spoke with the Red Cross. Her empathy and quick action made all the difference.
Even the Red Cross took notice, praising her dedication. Heather, thank you for truly living it and showing what it means to care for your community. We’re so grateful to have you on our team!

Hawthorne at the Pines

Mr. Rudy had been counting down the days until he could call The Harbours home, and this was finally the day! Our Resident Services Supervisor, Charlie, and our Leasing & Live It! Specialist, Peter, went all in on the LIVE IT! spirit—helping Mr. Rudy unload a few things from his car before the movers arrived.


The team at The Oasis at Surfside truly showed up when it mattered most. One of their dear residents recently lost a family member to cancer, and she and her two kids have always been a big part of our LIVE IT! moments. They’ve supported us at every event, and when life took a difficult turn, the team knew it was time to support them right back.
At Hawthorne, building community isn’t just about the fun moments— it’s about being there for one another through everything. Let’s continue to LIVE IT! every day, in every way.

What Makes A Leader

Daniel Goleman’s “What Makes a Leader?” is basically the ultimate playbook for why emotional intelligence (EI) matters way more than just being the smartest person in the room. He breaks it down into five key traits—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill—that separate good leaders from truly great ones. Turns out, being emotionally in tune with your team is what actually drives success (not just having the best resume).
