As a team, EDGE has demonstrated it is capable of building and implementing property management services and is not afraid to try new ways to continually improve. As we (and I) continue to grow and evolve, we have and will hit a few "walls". But our commitment remains to our clients identifying obstacles as quickly as possible, work to overcome them, deliver on our service commitments and generate results our clients not just expect, but deserve.In the end, our results speak for themselves.

Echo-Summit has provided me with the unique opportunity to continue to incorporate and expand upon my personal vision of how property management should be undertaken, surrounded me with a great group of "get it done" people, provided a unique and expanding set of technology and enabled us to now leverage a market foot print where we were noticed. As COO, I enjoyed utilizing my knowledge, skills and abilities - some I had not tapped in years - to contribute to this vision for the business - from finance and talent development to client management and organizational design. It was very exciting and provided no shortage of "learning moments"..

I understand tenants, the cost of maintaining rental properties and how to manage them. I personally own over 110 apartment units and manage an additional 100 units. I learned the property management business from the ground-up, beginning with my first condo in Nashville TN to personally overseeing more than 250 unit turns and rent ups, managing multiple building life cycles and writing many checks to pay for my 'learnings' along the way. It is only after long hours and considerable effort I now feel comfortable saying I understand the local market and how to manage the many moving parts of the property management and multi-family business. Key Learning: Property management and multi-family ownership is not the simple business that "guru" books and TV make it out to be. Don't underestimate!

The hair salon industry is both interesting and evolving. While The Hair Studio is not central to my long-term business goals (i.e., real estate management & investing), it has kept things 'real' and helped me stay "current".Customer service can be talked and written about - but you learn it working in a salon.
