Holly Mitchell Larez

Property Manager
Stellar Family of Companies
Lubbock, TX

I've been in the multifamily housing industry for 13 years, and I can honestly say I've worked my way up from the very beginning. I started cleaning apartments and doing minor maintenance, then moved into leasing, became a leasing manager, then a system manager, and eventually a property manager, which is the role I've been in for the past 2 years. Every day is different - I start my mornings with staff meetings to get everybody on the right foot, then I meet with my maintenance supervisor to go over anything they need outside of our office building. From there, I process rents, make resident calls, and handle a lot of renewals, move-outs, and walking units. It's fast-paced and you never know what's going to happen, but that's what has kept me in the industry - there's never a dull moment. I'm currently enrolled full-time at BYU Pathways working toward my business management degree while working full-time, because to get further in my career, I need education. My goal is to move into asset management or project management within multifamily housing.

Q

What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Community involvement and giving back are very important to me - it's definitely a driving force. I work for Stellar Family of Companies, which is very big on showing up in our community, and I just love that so much about them. Outside of work, family is everything to me. I have 5 children, a husband, and two dogs, and I love to spend time with them whether it's at a park, going to the zoo, or whatever we can do together. My faith is also central to my life - I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we love to go to church as a family.
