Jennifer is the regional property manager at the real estate and property company Greystar, where she oversees a portfolio of properties, one of which is in the Hobby Area District. She oversees investment income, budgets and any issues on-site that need attention.
She worked for 16 years for a real estate company that Greystar acquired two years ago. One of her first jobs, at age 15, was as a lifeguard. Eventually she started a lifeguard company. She learned from a fellow lifeguard about a property leasing job. She applied and got the job, thus launching what became her longtime career.
The apartment complex in the management district is comprised of almost 600 units, equaling the size of a small town, she points out. She said she enjoys being a voice for such a community.
That role led her to become involved as a district board member. She is especially interested in the district’s projects that enhance public safety.
Greystar owns properties in North America, South America, Asia and Europe. It calls itself a fully integrated real estate company offering expertise in investment management, development, and management of rental housing properties globally,” with a unique business model “in its ability to own, operate, and develop multifamily, student, and senior housing across the globe.”
