Amanda Cox: The COO of Bellaire on Turning Distressed Properties into Opportunities
Description
Shiv Gettu sits down with Amanda Cox, COO of Bellaire Multifamily Management, who shares her journey from an only child with a wholesome country upbringing to multifamily leader handling distressed properties.
Growing up outside Houston with strict parents and an entrepreneur grandfather who inspired her, Amanda developed a natural drive to lead. After starting as a college leasing agent in 2008 to pay her rent, she discovered a passion for helping people find homes and built her career from there.
Through candid conversations about the challenges of transitioning from property manager to regional manager, the importance of staying connected to on-site operations, and her decision to start her own company with a former client, Amanda reveals how her leadership style focuses on empowerment and open communication.
