Washington View Team

Celebrating 50 Years of Teamwork at WC Smith

Teamwork at Washington View

The Property Development and Mangement industries require extensive teamwork. Whether the task at hand is developing a new project or managing a current property, everyone must work together to the achieve the common goal. While WC Smith, in its entirety, functions as one large team, the company is comprised of many small teams. The smooth operations of these teams are what keeps WC Smith successful. Without them, their hard work, and their dedication to the company and each other, WC Smith would not be where we are today.While all of our teams contribute to the company’s success, one team, in particular, has gone above and beyond and deserves to be recognized. The Leasing Team at Washington View works as a cohesive unit every day to ensure that their units are leased and their residents are happy. The building is 100% leased, which goes to show that their hard work pays off.We discussed the topic of teamwork with the Washington View Team in order to understand their dynamic and why it works. They provided their insight on why teamwork is important, why they work well together, and their favorite part about working as a team.
