Bio
Lisa Fagan
I have had the pleasure of working with Lexy Smith for the past 2 ½ years, during which she served as my supervisor and the Director of Learning & Development. As a 13-year veteran of our company, I have seen many changes take place during my tenure, but the biggest change I experienced was how Lexy was able to get our team to step back, reorganize, and (instead of putting out fires) focus our attention on determining and meeting the actual needs of our company. This was no easy task as it involved getting our executive team on board with the bigger picture as well. Her unique leadership skills also played a huge role in creating a cohesive team. When Lexy joined the company, she stepped into an already formed team with already formed responsibilities. Her confidence and positive nature pushed all of us to higher levels of competency and creativity. She takes relationship building seriously and it shows in the very open and productive team she has molded. Our working environment is open, enthusiastic, efficient, productive, and fun. She's amazing and we're lucky to have her leading us !

Lexy Smith is a highly competent community manager. I’ve known Lexy for just over a year, and having worked in the property management industry myself, I appreciate how Lexy manages her community and her team. Whenever I’ve had a concern or a question, Lexy has addressed it with the utmost care and attention. She communicates clearly, finds the best resolution for all parties and follows up promptly. Lexy’s onsite team works in the same way – highly polished and professional, prompt, courteous and honest. Business always appears seamless and organized. I believe this speaks to Lexy’s leadership abilities. I also know how Lexy feels about Training/Learning & Development. This area is something Lexy feels strongly about and works to ensure that she and her staff have the tools they need to ensure operations run smoothly. Lexy has had an opportunity to work with a number of colleagues in different areas of training, as she knows how important it is to make sure everyone has consistent information and is equipped with the tools they need to get the job done with precision, while producing high quality results. Whether training colleagues, managing her property or engaging her team, Lexy is highly competent in these areas. I have full confidence in Lexy’s abilities and clearly see why she is successful.
