“When I got my first real estate job at the age of 16 I never imagined that it could snowball into a career,” said Jeffrey Scott, co-founder of Michigan Management and Property Maintenance.

“If you can live in it I have managed it” Kathleen Bernardi says as she reflects on her 10 year career in residential property and facilities management. Bernardi has managed everything from single family houses to large apartment communities. Bernardi’s property experience is strengthened by extensive facilities and maintenance management experience across all types of commercial properties.

 

Prior to co-founding Michigan Management and Property Maintenance Bernardi managed long-term stable assets, condo conversions, and large REO assets for Broder & Sachse Real Estate Services of Birmingham, Michigan. Her specialty is property turnarounds and has always exceeded property owner expectations during the turnaround period. “Being a property manager is like being a tight rope walker” Bernardi jokes, “you have to walk a fine line between providing excellent customer service and holding tenants responsible to their lease obligations.”
