Go For Wow | Alexis Saxton | Resident Relations Manager | VA

Alexis started in September of 2017, she creates an incredible experience for residents and Goes for Wow in her daily work and interactions! Here a resident says it best with a 5 Star Review, “Bridgeyard Old Town will always hold a special place in my heart because of the great memories formed there. Let me start off by saying that Alexis S. is amazing! Laramar, promote her because she’s going places!! After looking at numerous apartments in the area, Bridgeyard was the final tour and lucky me that Alexis was the one who happened to be in the office that Saturday. She was so personable, kind, and informative that by the time the tour ended – I went straight to RentCafé to apply. While we were talking, several residents stopped by the office, and I recall being impressed at how Alexis remembered every single person and addressed them by their name. I just know she only has to see you once and then she remembers you! After moving in to my one-bedroom apartment, I did have to submit some maintenance requests which were promptly resolved. The maintenance team is great. I really enjoyed living at Bridgeyard and the location is just perfect. I had to end my lease early due to a work relocation and Alexis made sure to make the process seamless for me. I’m not at my new apartment and let me tell you – they sure don’t have an Alexis on their staff! I know that most reviews focus on the apartment itself and the amenities, but I think that a lot of emphasis should be placed on the staff that you’ll be dealing with. It’s an apartment – you’re going to have to deal with other residents, have maintenance requests to log, and other things that pop up along the way. I don’t care how “nice” the apartment is itself – if the staff is awful, you’ll have a miserable experience. You’re in good hands here at Bridgeyard. The apartments are what they say they are. The staff is TOP NOTCH. Very happy with my experience here!” Way to Go for Wow Alexis!
