Crissy Lopez is our Property Field Inspector. We have been lucky to have her be part of our team over the last 5 years. She has worked in several departments so if anyone knows the inside and outs of this company, its Crissy! Crissy bridges the gap between the leasing agents, maintenance and administration departments with the properties and the tenants. She is our eyes out in the field conducting inspections on the interior and exterior of the properties and reporting her findings to the maintenance department for proper action. Conducting move out and rent ready inspections means she works hand in hand with the Home Rehabilitation and Leasing department by letting them know what condition and stage the property is currently at. She is also responsible for delivering notices, violations and being present during the eviction process. One of her best traits is her strong determined personality and how structured she is. Her favorite part of the job is getting to meet the tenants in person, and the most challenging is when she isn't able to fix something on the spot for a tenant. Her motto is "If you start something you finish it!" When Crissy is not at work she loves to spend time with her family, listen to country music and Italian food. She married her high school sweetheart and has 3 beautiful boys. She's currently a part-time student at FSW pursuing her nursing degree. In three words, Crissy is loving, determined and sassy.
