New Associates

J.C. Hart is pleased to introduce two new Associates! Jocilyn Watson is our new Leasing Specialist at North Haven. She studied Business Management at IVY Tech in Bloomington, Indiana and has recently received her real estate license. She has had lots of customer service experience but this is her first foray into property management. Jocilyn is excited about this new challenge and is ready to put her strong work ethic and interpersonal skills to task! She started at North Haven last week.

Alisha Webb started this week as our new Leasing Specialist at BayShore. Alisha has an Associates Degree in Business Administration from IVY Tech (where she attended classes with Jennifer Binder!) and has worked in different fields while earning her degree. She is high energy and hardworking and is looking forward to becoming an asset to the BayShore team.

We welcome both Jocilyn and Alisha and wish them the best of success in their new positions! We are very excited to have them on board!

Thanks to all our J.C. Hart Associates who supported our October Breast Cancer Awareness efforts by purchasing a pink polo shirt. 59 shirts have been purchased by 45 Associates! That's outstanding!

How Cool Is This?

Outback Steakhouse provided the food, free of charge, and in lieu of charging their residents for dinner, they asked for donations to support Komen. They raised $419!!! Isn't that outstanding? Thank you, Stonebridge staff, thank you Outback Steakhouse, and thank you, Stonebridge residents!! You rock!

Mike had initially inquired at the Legacy as a place to call home. Now it will be both work and home as he joins Deb, Jade and JaMarcus on the Legacy team!




In the meantime, Patricia Darling has moved from the Legacy to help out with maintenance at The District. Thank you, Tricia! And congratulations to Carly and Mike! We are so pleased to have you on board!
