Nice to See You

[Gus Pacente]

I've been in property management for about 15 years now, handling everything from single-family rentals to larger multifamily assets in the Memphis market. Most of what I know comes from the school of hard knocks—real-world lessons you only learn by being in the trenches. At the same time, I've backed that up with formal education, earning my MBA and completing IREM's Certified Property Manager (CPM®) designation.

That blend of experience and education has shaped how I work with investors: practical, no-nonsense, and grounded in what actually drives results. My biggest pet peeve in this business is the “yes-man” manager who tells owners only what they want to hear. I’m the opposite—I shoot straight. You’ll always know where things stand, good or bad, and I’ll be upfront about the path forward.

I also pride myself on being accessible. You won’t have to chase me down—I pick up the phone, return messages, and make myself available. If you’re investing or considering investing in the Memphis area, I’d love to connect and trade notes.
