Drake Property Management:
Focused on trust, service, and community By David Gargaro
At RHB Magazine, we appreciate the numerous privileges of covering the rental housing industry. We get the opportunity to build relationships with industry leaders as they grow into their roles and define industry trends. We also get to watch companies evolve over time: sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly, but always in response to the pressures and possibilities of Canada’s volatile rental housing market. Some organizations emerge as disruptors, others rely on scale, and a few carve out their identity over years by staying close to the needs of their communities. Drake Property Management (Drake PM) is one of those companies that have managed to maintain a low profile—they haven’t appeared on our radar until recently. Their work isn’t always public facing, but their footprint across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) has grown steadily. And we expect things will change. That’s thanks in part to industry veteran Hero Mohtadi, who recently joined the company as Executive Vice President of Property Management. We’ve covered her leadership journey for several years. And that’s why it’s the right moment to take a closer look at the property management firm and the reason for her move.
