Sharee Smith - "I started temping with On Site Solutions in Atlanta, GA back in 2002 after I realized that my real estate license wasn't all it was cracked up to be. One of my temp assignments hired me on full time & a career was born.... :)

Key Harrison-Cofty - "I started 21 years ago when I was looking for an apartment and the leasing agent sold me on replacing her so that she could move up. Now I'm a regional for The Lynd Comp.!"

Laura Myers - "I started as a PT weekend Leasing Agent in 2003. I love this business and I work for a terrific company, Beacon Management LLC!"

Jerry El-rohi Savage - "I started through a temp agency in 2007. I was in a six month contract that they bought out two months into it. Almost two years later I was NALP, and then the next year as an assistant I earned my CAM. Five years and going strong.!"

Dee Hammer - "I was approached and then pursued when I was working at a health club in Houston. I knew nothing of the business, but really liked what the person had to say and their persistence. That was more than 25 years ago and I still love this industry!!!"

Karen Kossow - "Graduated college in 1990 into a bad job market. First job was as a receptionist at a computer software company. Laid off after 3 months. Saw an ad for an "activities director". As I'd played a lot of sports, life-guarded, taught aerobics, etc. I thought I could do this. Got the job....eventually moved into leasing and then Marketing. 21 years later I'm still going strong and loving it!"

Rebecca Viviano - "I started as a resident. I called the leasing office for an issue I had and my now Property Supervisor told me I sounded great on the phone and asked if I was looking for a job. I quit my job of five and a half years, agreed to move an hour away and haven't looked back!"

Michelle Finney - "I started in 2008 after my sister convinced me to go to Ball State for Residential Property Management. I knew I wanted to manage, be in sales & marketing, work with numbers & paperwork, meet new people all the time, and be constantly busy. It's perfect for me!"

Jennifer Tusch Pasquale - "I was 21 and responded to an ad in the paper. They said I had the "go get em" attitude they were looking for! I rocked it, I was a leasing machine and this was my calling. I take the term "customer service" to the next level. 9 years later I am managing my own 300 unit A+ property in beautiful Charlotte, NC and I still to this day get out oft chair from my back office everytime a resident or prospect walks in!"
