When asked about the Nomination for IREM, Banner stated, “It is validating to know that what I am doing here in Southern Utah is recognized by this international organization. Sometimes, property management isn’t the most glamorous, but I think this is a way to show that it is more than just collecting rent.” Banner’s enthusiasm for serving the clients and tenants at NAI Excel goes above and beyond the standard Manager. Banner added, “Actively learning best practices from IREM and implementing those locally has caught the attention of the global property management community, and that is really cool to be recognized for.”
