An Industry Three Peat Mosaic is NSAA’s Property of the Year for 2011; Third Consecutive Year for a Fairfield Community
The Nevada State Apartment Associa on (NSAA) held its annual Jewel Awards on December 3, 2011 and for a third straight year Fairfield claimed the pres gious Jewel Award. The Jewel Award is given to the top property, as decided by a panel of independent judges w ithin the apar tment industr y. The independent judges selected Fairfield’s Mosaic, managed by Paki Phillips, out of the property category winners from the 5th Annual Jewel Awards. Mosaic adds to the list of winners Fairfield is proud to manage, which include Mountain Gate and Mountain Trails (2010 Jewel Award winner) and Loreto | Palacio, as they took 2009’s top honor. Mosaic solicits its apartments as a blank canvas. Sure, it’s got gallery-high ceilings
and track lighting, warm espresso cabinets and retro ceiling fans. Clean lines. Good flow. What else does one canvas need? The other choices are up to its prospects: one or t wo -bed room a r ra ngement s, splashes of wall color, kitchen designs and floor-plan styles. Go ahead, layer on the choices. Spice up the color. Design it around the way you live. Create your own livable art at Mosaic. Mosaic Apartments are centered in the fast-growing Southwest Las Vegas Valley. Shopping and restaurants abound all along I-215, which are just blocks away from this

apartment community. Terrific freeway access makes for a short trip to the airport and South Strip, Henderson to the east or Summerlin to the north. Outdoor aficionados appreciate the fast trip to Red Rock Canyon and Mt. Charleston for a day (or weekend) of hiking, camping, world-class rock climbing, skiing and picnicking. Enjoy Mosaic Apartment’s seclusion as you gaze eastward to the bright lights of the Strip, or westward to the natural backdrop of the quiet Spring Mountains. The newest place to play, work and live. Life fits together at Mosaic Apartments. Recently, NSAA Executive Director Michael Fazio had a chance to review the winning www.nvsaa.org
questionnaire, which was submitted for the Jewel Awards. We share the open, candid answers which caught the judges’ attention and hearts.
a chance to know who each team member is and are able to talk with us. I believe they would say we like to laugh a lot and they feel comfortable coming into our office.
Why do you believe you were nominated, and what sets you apart from the other nominees?
Tell us about a me that your en re team helped resolve a unique situa on for a resident(s)? Please be as specific as possible.
We can all rely on each other; we have integrity, we are consistent, and perform daily as a team because we have excellent communication with each other. Everyone that visits our community gets treated the same. We are open 7 days a week and we make ourselves available by not closing the office for lunch. We keep an open door policy for our residents to communicate any feedback to us.
We had a couple that moved in on May 21st, 2010 and were not following the rules and regulations in the pool area, which states no smoking. We addressed to them the rules and regulations that they had to follow and they were not happy about it because they were retired and loved to sit at the pool to smoke and enjoy the sunshine. They decided to move out November 1st, 2010 because they wanted to find another community that would allow them to smoke. It only took them until March 11th, 2011 to move back to Mosaic. It was a really funny situation when they came back; they apologized and said they should have never moved out. They actually moved to 2 other apartment communities broke each lease and spent so much money paying lease break fees and moving fees to leave each apartment in good standing, because they have excellent credit. They really missed Mosaic and how we treated them so they had to come back and they follow all the rules and regulations now.
What makes your team so successful? How would your residents describe your team? We are mature, care about each other, and try to start each day off with something to laugh about. We take the time to meet and discuss what is working positive or negative. Our daily saying is “Communication Rules the Nation”. We don’t care about titles or get caught up in who is who, we just keep it simple and maintain a professional work environment. The residents say all the time that we try our best to build a Mosaic Community. We have had multiple contests through our social media to keep them engaged on what is happening in Las Vegas and the Mosaic Community. Because we have monthly resident events from Salsa Classes to Magic Shows the residents really get
How do you keep your team mo vated? Please give examples. We keep it simple, life can be crazy in work and in our personal lives, but we keep each other accountable by paying attention to each other

and making sure we start each morning off with something funny or positive. We have found that the morning is so important and sets the pace for the whole day. What has really benefited us is meeting as a team and going over our Quarterly Marketing Plan. In our Marketing Plan it shows a 3 month window of upcoming resident events, promotions, contests and goals we hope to accomplish.
What is your involvement in Nevada State Apartment Associa on (NSAA), what does the NSAA mean to you and how would you improve the associa on? We have had a team presence for a variety of NSAA events. We have attended Golf Tournaments, Bowling Tournaments, Dinners, Mixers, and Training Events that have had guest speakers like Karsaz & Associates, Clark County Fire Chief, Clark County Health District, Social Media and Clark County Judges. What the NSA A means to us is a chance to meet and build a personal network with others in the same industry. It really helps to conduct market surveys with competitors as we have a relationship with them and mutually share necessary information. NSAA meetings are also helpful when we call out a vendor and we have met them in person before, then they can put a face to the name on the phone. We believe what would help improve the association is more training classes on a monthly basis.

5th Annual Jewel Awards The NSAA held its 5th Annual Jewel Awards on Saturday December 3, 2010. The Jewel Awards Committee put together the largest event the apartment association has ever seen. The committee had a wonderful lineup for attendees to enjoy, which included a three song performance by Michael Jackson, tons of raffles, a $2,000 grand prize and many prestigious industry awards. Emcees John Huck and Olivia Fierro, of Fox 5 News, were nothing short of magnificent. Both added to a spectacular program. The event drew a record crowd of 461 attendees, 110 more attendees than the previous year. The NSAA appreciates everyone who attended the Jewel Awards, the nominees, the finalists and winners at this year’s event.

The Jewel Awards judging committee wanted to ensure true anonymity of each nominee. Instead those categories were judged TWICE by two separate independent judges. The scores of the two independent judges were then combined to obtain final scores, which determined the finalists and eventual winners.

From burn marks to flooding, renters insurance protects owners, managers and residents from damage of nearly any type. By Lauren Boston
Disastrous kitchen fires typically come to mind when considering the need for renters insurance, but what about all of those smaller yet more frequent claims? Debbie Blackford, Vice President and Designated Broker for Las Vegas-based Picerne Real Estate Group, says mishaps such as cigarette burns on kitchen countertops, flooding caused by an overflowing toilet and candle burn marks on carpeting are common occurrences that could cost residents several hundred dollars without the proper coverage. More serious accidents such as fires could cost residents thousands of dollars.
hundred dollars,” says Blackford, whose company began requiring renters insurance in February across its portfolio of more than 5,000 units. “We stress this when explaining to residents why it is in their best interest to obtain renters insurance. Fire, flood, explosion — anything related to that is covered.”
At Picerne’s three-stor y communities that include statemandated fire sprinklers, Blackford says residents often knock the sprinklers with a tall piece of furniture while moving in or out, which can cause flooding in their unit as well as those below them. It is another damage that would fall on the resident without CoreLogic SafeRent’s renters insurance, which costs approximately $12 per month.
The company’s LeasingDesk renters insurance program is integrated and tracked through its RealPage property software. If residents let their coverage lapse, WestCorp has an addendum on its lease that states residents will be automatically billed on the first of the following month for liability insurance.
“There are lots of odds and ends that residents would otherwise be charged for when they moved out, and if something such as a kitchen countertop had to be refinished, that could cost several
Pay Up For those who call one of WestCorp Management Group’s communities home, there is no getting around not having renters insurance.
Pat Wiley, Vice President Education, NA AEI Faculty, says WestCorp’s onsite staff explains to residents that this supplemental renters insurance costs an average of $15 per month but only covers WestCorp’s property in the event of an emergency. It does not cover renters’ personal belongings.

Even still, convincing residents to protect themselves is an ongoing struggle. “We find that some residents are very blasé and say ‘just charge me for the supplemental insurance’ and we point out that this is an emergency measure — it’s not preferable,” she says. “For just two or three more dollars a month, a resident could purchase full coverage for all of their belongings.” CWS Apartment Homes has the same supplemental insurance addendum in its lease. Additionally, the company, in which 86 percent of its residents carried renters insurance, wanted to improve that penetration rate. To do so, Shanna Berrien, Director of Insurance and Risk, introduced a bonus program that rewards its assistant community directors who bring their community’s average renters insurance penetration rate to 95 percent. In less than nine months, Berrien says the company average hit that mark.
and has required renters insurance since May 2009. “This then leaves them out of luck should the resident cause some kind of damage to the apartment.” If an incident occurs, Lozinak says the general liability insurance payment is sent directly to Waterton. In the past, residents received the check and were responsible for then making a payment to Waterton. Detroit-based Village Green Companies uses reports detailing the type and frequency of losses as another renters insurance risk management tool. Heidi Much, its Vice President of Risk Management Services, says that through Bader Company’s reporting tools and renters insurance program, Village Green typically recovers $140,000 to $160,000 a year in resident-caused damage over its portfolio of 35,000 units. Although Village Green recovered less money in 2010, Green says this was due to a significantly reduced number of resident claims.
Interested Party Apartment management companies can’t require renters to purchase insurance from a preferred carrier. However, they can improve how they track the policies of those who do carry it.
Ar cle Digested from Units Magazine from December 2011. Lauren is a Na onal Apartment Associa on (NAA) Staff Writer. She can be reached at lauren@naahq.org or 703.797.0678.
In addition to maintaining a personal liability policy of no less than $100,000, companies such as Riverstone Residential Group are asking residents to list their community as an “Interested Party” with their insurance carrier. By doing so, the insurance carrier is required to notify the community of any changes in the residents’ policies, such as lapse in coverage. Rebecca Daniels, Resident Insurance Manager for Riverstone, says this is crucial when residents elect to purchase renters insurance from third-party carriers, which can be difficult to track. When a property is notified of a cancellation, the resident will immediately be enrolled into Assurant Specialty Property’s Master Policy Program and charged for the minimal coverage — which is added into Riverstone’s property management software as a “rentable item” and charged to the resident as part of their monthly rental payment — ensuring the required coverage is maintained, Daniels adds.
Risk Mi ga on Today, most apartment management companies are seeking a variety of risk mitigation solutions coupled with accurate compliance reporting when looking for the renters insurance program that will best suit their needs. Greg Lozinak, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Waterton Residential, says his Chicago-based company has general liability and personal liability coverage through Yardi’s ResidentShield. Additionally, Waterton uses surety bonds, which, in most cases, provide more coverage than a standard security deposit, Lozinak adds. “Most owners and managers use minimum deposits as a move-in incentive,” says Lozinak, whose company owns over 16,000 units JANUARY | FEBRUARY 2012

Going Green Is Not “All or Nothing” Some things are all or nothing. Like being a parent. Or cutting the lawn. Or parachuting. By Jennifer Marcus Newton, GreenPropertyManagement.com
Being green is not one of those things. What works in one person’s rou ne might be completely impossible in another’s.
Your green journey depends on many factors — job, family, hobbies, personal values, physical abilities and many more. In that way, eco-consciousness is more of a spectrum.
being mindful of our personal impact on the planet and each other. If we were all expected to pursue that extreme, we would fail. Quickly. Like jumping out of an airplane without a chute.
You certainly don’t jump in on day one to begin life anew as a shoeless vegan with berry-stained fingers who lives off the grid somewhere in Montana.
Our lives are simply too complex to take an all-or-nothing strateg y w ith ecoconsciousness. But that doesn’t mean we get a pass on taking a good, hard look at how our behaviors impact the world around us and finding ways to lessen that impact.
I’m not knocking that particular journey. It’s an admirable lifestyle and I’m sure quite an adventure. But most of us don’t have the luxury of unplugging and heading for the hills, even if we really wanted to. That’s just one end of the spectrum of

It’s pre y simple to get started. Look at where you’re standing right now. That’s precisely where your green journey begins. Think about the topics that interest www.nvsaa.org
As you move forward on your journey, be aware that at some point you will probably discover something shocking or eye-opening about the world: like the chemicals used to process your food, the toxicity of our household cleaners, or the dangerous levels of VOCs in paint. This information is valuable, too, and adds to your eco-consciousness.

Explore ideas related to the topic. Build your eco-conscious foundation with the information you glean. Enjoy the process. Embrace it. This doesn’t have to be arduous.

Remember: If it had to be all or nothing, we wouldn’t get very far. My very own brother recently added a layer of eco-minded behavior to his routine. He converted a cabinet in his kitchen to a slide-out recycling bin. Not only is the mechanism very cool, its very existence is an extremely big deal. My brother has never been what you would call a “recycler.” But now he’s well on his way to no-VOC paint for his next summer project. I can feel it.

The ex pansion of ser v ice of fer ings comes at a time when multifamily housing communities are in need of cost effective and convenient recycling services for tenants to participate. The new recycling program includes light-weight mailroom and office bins for recyclables such as junk mail, magazines, newspapers, catalogs and office paper. Large c om m i ng le d r e c yc l i ng bi n s a r e s t r ate g ic a l ly pl ac e d throughout the properties to promote tenant recycling for materials such as paper, cardboard, aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Each property that signs up for the new recycling services receives magnets for each unit, educational posters for all common areas and plaques and stickers for placement throughout the property as a reminder to visitors and tenants to recycle on a daily basis. With the new inventory of equipment and services available, Evergreen and Republic are optimistic that as a community we can make significant impacts in Southern Nevada’s current 19 percent recycling rate, of which the national recycling average is 35 percent.
