How one Texas family’s property management company went from burnout to breakthrough by betting on a Business Development Manager.
By the time the phone rang for the fourth time that morning, Rob Kazan didn’t even look up. He knew what it was: another owner lead, another prospective client asking about management services, another chance to grow. And he didn’t have the energy.
“We’d sometimes go two weeks without calling people back,” Rob admits now, with a laugh that carries equal parts disbelief and regret. “We just couldn’t keep up. I was running operations, Leslie was juggling her role and the sales side…well, it wasn’t getting the attention it needed.”
For the Kazans, owners of First Choice Property Management in Fort Worth, Texas, this was the stall. The moment so many property management companies eventually hit: when steady operations collide with exhausted leadership, and growth grinds to a halt.
And like many owners, they faced the uncomfortable truth: the business wasn’t going to magically grow itself.
