After graduating college, I moved to Las Vegas where I was hired as an Assistant Property Manager. I quickly learned that it's a tough, but very rewarding business. Not only do you need to be available at a moment's notice, but you need to know how to maintain a home from top to bottom, understand local real estate laws and practices, have excellent negotiation skills, and the ability to resolve conflicts that come up on a regular basis.
During my time in Las Vegas, I worked my way up from an Assistant Property Manager to Director of Operations. I was responsible for overseeing the day to day operations of a large property management company with more than 1,400 single family homes, condos, and town homes. After 6 years of working in the property management industry in Las Vegas, I relocated to Hawaii (where I currently reside) and have started my own Property Management Company, Certified Property Solutions. In addition to Property Management, I have also branched out with my colleague, Paul Sebastian, opening a separate Sales Division, Agora Hawaii.
