Providing Quality Customer Service a Top Priority at The Landings Association

  Meeting the needs of residents in a timely manner always has been a top priority at The Landings Association. But just like any other business, there are extremely busy times that make quick service a challenge. Although the number of walk-in customers at The Landings Association varies from day-to-day, especially during this time of COVID-19, it is pretty much a constant that things will be busier during the morning hours, according to Community Relations Representatives Ashley Lloyd and Megan Weathers. “That is the time of day that the majority of our commercial customers come in to renew their yearly work RFIDs,” Lloyd said. “All of our yearly commercial RFIDs expire one year from the date of purchase. For example, everyone who purchased last January will need to renew their tags this January.” By no means does this mean that residents get lost in the shuffle or cast aside, Weathers said. In fact, she said much of what residents need is quick and easy to handle if they know what paperwork to bring with them. “The majority of residential walk-ins are due to adding or deleting vehicles or requesting Frequent Visitor access tags for family and friends,” she said. “Adding a vehicle is very simple if residents have their ownership documentation, such as Bill of Sale, Lease Agreement, or Car Registration. It does not matter if residents do not yet have their new registration or if the vehicle is registered in another state; they still are entitled to an RFID. Weathers said the process to obtain a residential RFID has been streamlined and made even easier to accommodate those who don’t feel comfortable coming in-person to the Association during a pandemic. “If a resident would rather not coming in the building, all they have to do is visit our website and fill out a form (www.landings.org/residential-rfid-new-vehicle-application). They can upload a photo of their proof of registration, and we will add the new vehicle to their record. We will let them know via email when to head to the Main Gate to have the RFID placed on the vehicle. In the case of a new car without a license plate number, the RFID will be set to expire in 90 days. This gives the owner ample time to receive their new registration and serves as a reminder to contact The Landings Association’s office with this information (webmaster@landings.org or 912-598-2520).” Obtaining Frequent Visitor tags also is a pain-free process once all the paperwork is in order. “Frequent Visitors must provide proof of insurance as well as car registration,” Weathers said. “There also is a registration form which we have in our office, or you can complete one online at www.landings.org/frequent-visitor-rfid-new-vehicle-or-renewal. Frequent Visitor RFIDs expire one year from the date of purchase.” Residents are reminded that The Landings Association encourages residents to preauthorize visitors as permanent guests. To preauthorize a permanent guest, visit GateAccess.net > Enter TLA for the Community Code > your primary email address (email address must be on file with TLA) > password (your gate pass PIN) > Guest List tab. Or call the Main Gate (598-1982). Other services Community Relations Representatives are happy to assist residents with include, but are not limited to, the following:
