Real Property Management’s Stacy Brown joins MHN’s Denile Doyle to talk about reducing risk and why true preparedness means planning, practicing and staying ready for anything.
September is National Preparedness Month, making it the perfect time to rethink what readiness really means for multifamily property managers.
In this episode of Management Diaries, MHN’s Denile Doyle sits down with Stacy Brown, Vice President of Property Management Enablement at Real Property Management, to dig into what preparedness really looks like for today’s operators.
With 37 years in property management and experience training teams across the country, Brown has seen everything from hurricanes to HVAC outages. Emergencies rarely come with warning, which is why operators who want to protect their residents and reduce risk need to plan, practice, repeat.
“Preparedness is basically risk management in action,” Brown explains, as she shares practical examples of where operators often fall short and the best practices that help them get it right.
