HOUSTON, TX, June 09, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Richland Companies announced today the addition of property manager John R. Ray III to the Richland Asset and Property Management division. As property manager for The Richland Companies, Ray will oversee the day-to-day operations across Richland's 30-property portfolio with responsibilities including ensuring the quality and on-time completion of build-outs, repairs and maintenance, as well as fulfilling tenant requests and keeping each property in pristine condition. He will report to Mickey Meyer-Sturgis, Vice President of Leasing and Redevelopment and Director of Construction Management. "John is a welcome addition to Richland. His diverse background in real estate marketing, environmental safety and property management will benefit not only Richland, but all of our clients as well," says Meyer-Sturgis.
Prior to joining The Richland Companies, he served as a project manager for TransTeq Environmental Solutions; property manager for the Richdale Group's Village on the Parkway apartment complex, where he received numerous awards for increasing occupancy, cash flow and revenue; and project manager for Richdale's Houston-area Hurricane Ike Restoration project. "With reports of one of the busiest hurricane seasons descending upon us, his experience with Hurricane Ike will be a huge asset. Of course, we hope we do not need to utilize that skill set, but it will be invaluable to have it if the need arises," adds Meyer-Sturgis.
Ray attended Menlo College where he majored in Public Relations. In addition, he is certified in finance, law of contracts, law of agency and principles of real estate by the Austin Institute of Real Estate. Ray currently resides in Houston, Texas where he is an active Habitat for Humanity volunteer and a member of the Surfrider Foundation.
