Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving Wow, what a year! And what a great time to pause and reflect on all that we’re thankful for, a list that begins with you. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Pacific Crest Real Estate. We hope you have nothing but luck and safety during your holiday travels, that your cornucopia is indeed full, that you have a time and place to relax and enjoy the holiday, and that you, too, have a lot of things and people to be thankful for this year. We Can’t Do it Without You We don’t need a special time of year to be thankful for all of the hard work our office staff and asset managers put in every day, for the dedication and consistent efforts exhibited our property and resident managers, for the stellar collaborations between our investors and developers, and the loyalty our residents offer, many of whom have called our properties home for years. We know it’s all of you who truly make us a successful company, able to live our mission: We have a dual mission at Pacific Crest Real Estate. We endeavor to provide valuable, expert guidance for property owners to help them reach their goals. We also aim to build strong and vibrant communities by providing quality living space for residents and supporting the community they live in. Thank you today, and every day, for being part of our team. Holiday Hours Our offices will be closed on Thursday, November 26, and Friday, November 27, so our staff can spend the holidays with their families. Office hours at our 80+ properties in the Puget Sound area may vary, so check with your property manager. You can still access our online services to view your account via our Tenant Portal, pay your rent, or submit a maintenance request. And, you can always send us a non-urgent message via email.
