2020 Women in Real Estate: Susie Curreri, Senior Property Manager at Peabody Properties, Inc.

Who inspired you to join the CRE Industry? It was happenstance. I have worked in the residential property management field for over 10 years. During this time, I have slowly progressed with managing and overseeing numerous combination/multi-use properties with commercial components. 

How have you been networking during the lockdown? Industry Zoom meetings and communicating with LinkedIn Connections. 

What books, blogs, podcasts, resources or influencers would you recommend to women? To be completely honest, I try to avoid influencers and social media movers. Being a full-time working mother with 2 very small children, it is difficult to find the time to read or follow podcasts. This is without a doubt something I need to continue to work on. 

What aspects of working from home have you enjoyed most? The limited commute time. I feel I have been able to be more productive having longer days.

What is the best advice you have received, and who was it from? Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. As long as you learn from them and grow stronger because of them. – A former boss. I try and remind myself of this every day, as it helps me strive to work harder and take on challenges.

What recent project or transaction are you most proud of? The rebranding and prepositioning of one of my market rate apartment communities. Station 101. 

What honor, achievement or recognition means the most to you and why? In the real estate industry it has been to date- the Senior Manager of the Year award internally at my company. To be acknowledged and recognized by my peers (my 2^nd family) and those I work with on a daily basis humbles me.
