Property management team thanks
vendors for service to clients
On September 25, the Investors Realty Property Management team said
“Thank You” to the many vendors who help them provide services to our
property management clients.

Members of the Property Management team hosted 37 vendors at a
barbeque lunch served by Ozark Smoked Meats. But it wasn’t a “free
lunch.” John Krecek, Director of Property Management, thanked the
vendors for their service and asked them to complete a survey about their
relationship with Investors Realty. Vendors were also encouraged to give
us suggestions on how we can improve our communications with them
and give better service to our clients.
