| With the world constantly changing, how has your job, or client’s job, evolved over the past 10 years? |
| Property values over the past 10 years have cycled up and down and our department has been on top of all changes implemented by the county Assessor’s office in several different states. Each year I make it part of my job to learn something new about these changes so I can assist others on my team with providing our clients the best service possible. By working closely with our clients, the owners as well as their property management staff also become more familiar with the assessment process and can superintend their properties more efficiently due to our constant support of fair values at the County level. |
| Tell us about your story. How did you come to Cushman & Wakefield? What do you do? |
| I started working for Cushman & Wakefield when my small property tax consulting firm was acquired by the corporation several years ago. Since that time our services began to spread to become a nationwide division under the CW brand, and I made my transition from the southern California office to Houston just a few short weeks ago. Our Property Tax Services team here in Houston handles several large clients with holdings in Texas and surrounding states, and my current position is one of support and assistance to our highly experienced consulting group. I am working on becoming more of a part of the advisory portion of our team’s performance and look forward to working with the best group of individuals I’ve had the pleasure of meeting here during my time at CW. |
| Why do you work here at Cushman & Wakefield and not somewhere else? |
| I believe that the Cushman & Wakefield brand is a strong, stable name in the industry and is highly respected for its service lines and practices. CW employees are always striving to become the best at what they do, and I enjoy being part of a team of people who are ambitious and truly enjoy their careers. |
| Cushman & Wakefield has one of the most interesting growth stories in our industry. How has our recent momentum made an impact on your role or created opportunities for you? |
| When Cushman & Wakefield acquired the small consulting firm where I was previously employed it created an abundance of opportunities for my group of property tax professionals. By being a part of a large corporation, there are different service lines that closely coincide with my work experience which makes me feel as if I am a bigger part of a team than if I were still working with a small company. |
| With the breadth of services we have now, how are you able to do more today for your clients? |
| By utilizing different service lines here at Cushman, I can provide my clients with more aspects of management for their portfolios and create a “one stop shop” for their real estate needs.
