You can’t possibly be effective at leading large operations, if you don’t like the people side of things.My friend Aaron Kuney, leads a team of dozens of professionals and technicians, and a vendor network 4500+ strong, dealing with property services, for one of the biggest property management companies in the US. You know what gets him out of bed every single day? The chance he gets at elevating and developing people in his team. Watching them learn and grow, and solve challenges they didn’t think they could solve.In this episode, we talked about what it means to be an Operations Leader, the Real Estate industry’s current status and where it’s going from here, technology and its place in the industry, and many other interesting topics. Aaron is a Real estate investment and operations executive with extensive experience in investment management, capital markets, asset management, portfolio management, brokerage, construction management, and property management in the single-family and multi-family asset classes. He has a proven track record of innovation through the use of data and technology as well as building and leading top-performing teams within the institutional single family rental (SFR) space.I worked with Aaron in the past, and I learned tons from him back then.
