OUR TEAM
the faces of paloma's success
Each of our team members excel in their particular area of expertise, but what makes us different from other management companies is our approach. We enjoy taking distressed properties and making them high performers, and our track record is proven time and time again. Our strategies are created with the end-game in mind. When working with financial institutions, we strive to preserve the asset, cover the debt service and ultimately deliver a marketable property. When working with owners or association boards, we look to build a thriving property that is involved in their community and operates within budget. Whatever the goal, our Paloma team will deliver and execute a comprehensive business plan with results.
