How did she get into property management?
Much like many others, I sort of fell into the business. After college, I worked as an outside sales representative for an office equipment and supply company. I spent my time cold calling and establishing new customers for orders. I wanted to pick up something else on the weekends and applied for a part time leasing position in Fairfield. I immediately LOVED IT. It was so fun and rewarding to show apartment homes and get people’s story and help them find a place to live that would meet their needs. After a taste of it, I quit the office equipment company and got a full-time job in property management and stuck with it all these years and I really can’t see me doing anything else.
