Real estate is in Alisa Timm’s blood. Maybe that’s why she treats all of her clients and coworkers like family.
“Singling out a (favorite) deal is difficult because I would say the most memorable ones are the clients who keep coming back because you have grown the relationship with them,” she says.
From instigating team outings to TopGolf or company walks for autism, Timm works to keep her team members in touch with the community.
Timm is responsible for the development and delivery of property management services for Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico.
What is the hardest professional or personal challenge you’ve faced and how did you overcome it?
Most recently, I have been responsible for leadership in our region of a portfolio that has grown more than 40 percent with more than 115 percent employee growth in just two years. The challenge has been to provide vision with integrity while keeping the focus on bottom line results for our clients and customers. The results speak for themselves.
What do you consider your greatest professional accomplishment?
I opened an office for a major broker/property management company starting literally from a desk and a chair to several million square feet of properties under management. Change was constant and not always easy, but the opportunity was amazing and worth the blood, sweat and tears.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up and how did that aspiration affect your career?
Real estate is in my blood. My dad used to drive me around buildings and when my kids were young they used to ask if we had to go around the buildings before we went in! Two of three think they are going to be in real estate.
What is one little-known fact about you?
I have become a golf fanatic. I am terrible, but focused.
