Thank you to you, Valerie, Heather and anyone else who had a part in organizing #chatmixer — I thought it was a *great* event! And thanks for the #AptChat mention … I know it’s a bunch of folks talking about the apartment business, but we’re always open to outside views, so stop by and say hi sometime!
