Kenya’s Journey: Innovating Property Management in Ventura County

In the scenic landscape of Ventura County, California, a transformation is taking place in the world of property management. At the forefront of this change is Kenya, a business development manager at Rincon Property Management, whose unconventional path and fresh perspective reshape an industry often perceived as traditional.

Kenya’s journey to property management was far from typical. With a solid background in finance and an MBA, he initially found himself managing massive logistics operations for Amazon.

“I ended up luckily getting a management job there. I relocated down and I got to travel a lot while the building was being built. You meet a whole bunch of people who travel to a whole bunch of places there,” Kenya recalls.

The experience was intense and demanding. “I was working…maybe 5 to 6 days a week, and I’m like, ‘My body hurts,'” he adds, explaining his motivation to seek new opportunities.

When Rincon Property Management approached him, Kenya initially reacted with skepticism. However, the company’s vision and culture made a strong impression.

“They really dialed in. They showed me their long-term goal and their vision… It’s family-oriented, and they take care of their employees, and that stood out to me.” This alignment of values and growth potential convinced Kenya to take a leap into the world of property management.

A Fresh Approach to Property Management

A strong focus on education and long-term relationship building characterizes Kenya’s approach to his role at Rincon.

“My biggest thing is trying to understand the product that Rincon offers,” he explains. This understanding allows him to effectively communicate the value of professional property management to potential clients.

Kenya emphasizes the importance of educating clients on market realities, property value maximization, and the multifaceted benefits of professional management.

And this educational approach extends beyond turning potential clients into signed clients: Kenya often reaches out to owners of stale listings, offering advice without immediate expectations of gaining their business.
