Property Manager who improves resident experience, revenue, and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a property management and operations leader with 20+ years of experience managing complex client relationships, financial processes, and high-performing teams across real estate, legal services, and franchise operations. I’m known for delivering superior customer experiences while maintaining rigorous compliance standards.
In my current role as Owner / General Manager at Kitchen Tune-Up of Montgomery, I oversee daily operations for a multi-project service franchise—managing scheduling, vendor relationships, customer service, sales, and financial performance. I lead the full client lifecycle from initial consultation through contract execution, project delivery, and post-sale follow-up, ensuring repeat business through responsiveness and strong outcomes.
Before that, I worked as a Realtor at Coldwell Banker, managing high-value transactions from listing through close with careful documentation and compliance. I also self-manage and operate a private residential rental portfolio, handling tenant screening, lease renewals, maintenance coordination, budgets, and resident issue resolution while enforcing lease terms and applicable landlord-tenant and fair housing requirements.
My background also includes Attorney at Law work, where I performed due diligence, risk analysis, and legal opinion drafting for multi-state asset acquisitions, and coordinated multi-stakeholder engagements under tight deadlines. I bring a disciplined, solution-oriented mindset to property operations—mentoring teams, controlling expenses, and resolving conflict to protect reputation and drive consistent performance.
