Multifamily real estate was a second career for Asia Capital Real Estate Chief Operating Officer Melanie Gersper. After spending 13 years as a social worker and probation officer in various jurisdictions across Ohio, she moved to Georgia with her family, where her career took a whole new path. A small real estate company gave her a chance as a leasing agent and she’s never looked back. Now, she oversees on-site property management and other operations for roughly 7,000 Class B & C units across the country.
