In 2000 Mary joined the industry as a Leasing Agent at a struggling Class A property in the highly competitive Naperville, IL market. Her sales background, dedication and hard work helped boost occupancy from 83% to 100% in a matter of months. Mary closed over $15 million in leases for the owners during her tenure. Mary joined PMI in 2005 as a Property Manager and became certified as a Tax Credit Specialist to best serve both the owners and senior residents involved. Faced with a budget set to fail, Mary pushed rents for a steady increase in revenue to turn a profit. As the only office employee, she wore several different hats and embraced the daily challenges at hand. She held the position until early 2021. Because of a property sale and family obligations Mary was away from PMI for a short time before jumping back aboard in late 2021. She was promoted to Asset Manager in 2022 and oversees a portfolio of five properties including 738 residential units serving the LIHTC, Section-8, and market rate sectors. Mary is responsible for a combined staff of 16 and budgets more than $10 million. Mary is a licensed Broker in the state of Illinois.
