Hello Hello.

I'm writing my first narrative today and could use insight. I'm aware of the structure of a narrative and am hoping someone can share a sample of theirs. Any tips for doing it right...the first time? Said narrative is for an apartment shop.

Thanks!

It really depends on the MSC for which you are doing it. Overall, they are not complicated:

* Keep it objective. Simply narrate what happened. Reference questions that were asked in the survey. Keep your narrative on topic with that particular section of the report.

Narrative for Greeting Section:

"I entered the leasing office and a leasing professional (24-26 year old female, 5'6", average build, long straight brown hair) approached with a smile and asked how she could help me. I stated that I had a 4:00 appointment with "Rick." She smiled and said that he had stepped away from his desk for a minute, but would be right back. She then offered me a seat on a sofa in the back of the office and asked if I would like coffee or water. I declined. She then said that she would make sure that Rick found me when he returned. I thanked her and she walked back to his desk. Two minutes later a male leasing professional approached me with a smile, walked up to me and said, "Hi, I'm Rick. You must be Angela." He smiled and offered to shake my hand. He then invited me to his desk. As we walked to his desk, he started to make small talk, mentioning the weather and if I had plans for how to enjoy it that evening. When we arrived at his desk, he invited me to sit down and began to clarify the needs we had discussed over the phone."

Many thanks!
