Joel has worked in property management for nearly 20 years. Starting as a teenager, he worked for a local broker turning rental houses and handling work orders submitted by tenants. Using that experience, he began in property management starting in 2006 handling leasing, management, unit turns, and work orders for single-family and small multi-family properties. By 2012, he had been promoted to a Senior Vice President and Partner in his firm and was involved in asset management for large multi-family properties and portfolios. He developed a knack for repositioning troubled assets, cutting costs, and improving cash flow by growing revenue and reducing expenses. He handled properties throughout the southeast, and many of the assets he managed grew in value to be sold for very high returns. In 2016, he earned the Certified Property Manager designation and is one of just a small handful in the Augusta Georgia market. Today he continues to manage large assets, many single-family homes, and a large department of property managers for his firm providing top-level management services to all of his clients. He is happily married and has four children, and enjoys spending time with his family and all things outdoors such as camping, biking, running, kayaking and hiking among other things.
