If you’ve been paying attention to all of the talk swirling around the new iPad, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by the hype. Is it really going to revolutionize the leasing process, or is it just a pretty gadget benefiting from Apple’s top-notch marketing?

Nate Keplinger

Inside Sales

We would like to give our thanks and best wishes to Nate Keplinger, who is Property Solutions’ employee of the month. Nate is headed to Arizona for medical school, but has been working as an inside-sales rep at Property Solutions for the last year.

Nate always goes above and beyond with his responsibilities and is one of the most productive guys in the sales department. Throughout the month of May and June, Nate closed more sales than any other inside-sales rep. Nate is also a great competitor. He helped our softball team, the PSI Punishers, jump from the lower to upper division this season, and his colleagues describe his Foosball skills as above-average.
