With a mission to provide high-quality homes and enriching communities for residents across the country, Related Management Company strives to lead by example when it comes to managing affordable housing with compassion. One of RMC’s goals is to preserve affordable residences for generations to come, ensuring that properties remain affordable and continue to reach Related’s high standards—whether by adding communal amenities like on-site technology centers or by providing after-school programs to kids and teens. Something that draws many employees to RMC is the chance to combine their desire to help people with the bounty of career development opportunities available within RMC.
One employee who has been dedicated to carrying out RMC’s mission since 2013 is Regional Vice President Nick Corcoran, who currently oversees 36 properties on the East Coast and manages four regional managers. Nick started at RMC as a community manager at Tall Oaks in Middletown, NY, but his hard work and devotion to residents was rewarded with promotions—first to regional manager, and then two years later, to regional vice president of Affordable East. Among the qualities Nick says RMC seeks out in applicants are an enthusiasm to provide stellar customer service, the drive to take ownership of a property in order to see its residents thrive and a background related to affordable housing. According to Nick, one of the best benefits that RMC offers employees is investing in their future development, such as offering educational classes that employees can take in-person or online, and internal training programs that can level up their careers. And the most rewarding aspect of Nick's job? Being able to partner with organizations like Meals on Wheels to assist elderly residents who have difficulty leaving their residences, or working with local banks to host financial management sessions that can help make a big difference in a family's finances.
