Since joining the leadership team at Vanguard Properties in 2018, Pam has championed a collaborative, team-based approach, working closely with top professionals in the field. Her comprehensive knowledge of real estate contracts, systems, platforms, and operations has made her a key contributor to the development of many widely adopted industry practices.
