Ms. Smith also honed her considerable skill-set through a variety of portfolio manager, property manager and controller roles she’d held throughout the years, placing a special emphasis on budgeting, financial forecasting and creating and implementing carefully orchestrated business development plans. She also has substantial experience managing and supervising staff members and handling associated personnel matters and is well-versed in asset acquisition and disposition, tenant relations, tenant improvement projects and lease administration and negotiations, among related areas. Kim began on site in the Conventional market but soon found her passion within the affordable housing arena where larger impact could be made offering safe and affordable housing. Her oversight expertise is in LIHTC, HUD and market rate communities. She is a hands-on leader for her team as well as colleagues, investors, agencies and owners. Kim is a firm believer in being the example you want others to follow.
