Inside Imagine Homes: Why We Hire Local

At Imagine Homes Management, our growth with single family rentals has always been driven by excellence, passion, technology—and the amazing people who make up our team. We hire the right people for the roles that suit them best. In our latest employee spotlight, we sat down with Lindsey Roberson, our Regional Acquisitions Coordinator in Cleveland, to touch on why we look for local talent in our markets and why that matters.

Working with Imagine Homes Management is actually my first venture into professional real estate.

My name is Lindsey Roberson. I live with my fiance and our cat in Lyndhurst, Ohio, which is an Eastern suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Right now, we have our own fixer-upper house going on, so that takes up most of our time.

I’ve been with Imagine Homes for about eight months [as of May 2021]. When I first saw the job posting for my role, I thought it aligned a lot with things that I had done in the past. We did have an investment property before, but this is the first time that I’ve done real estate as a career.

Imagine Homes is great about hiring the right person. They’re big on being able to train the right person for the role that suits them best.

I’m an Acquisitions Coordinator, what that means is that I’m acting as a liaison between the Regional Acquisitions Manager, the sellers, listing agents or wholesalers, and the title company.

As of this moment, I work in most of the markets we’re in across the US, and I help to ensure that each transaction runs smoothly and that our paperwork is in order. I do help in other areas of the company, but my main focus is in acquisitions. I really enjoy it so far.

Outside of my immediate role, I took the initiative to start a committee with some team members that focuses on company improvements. We also have some philanthropic programs planned for later on this year. Both of those things are great. I would say that those are the two things that I’m most proud of outside of the day-to-day job.

I think people choose Imagine Homes because of the best-in-class service we provide, and because of our attention to detail.

As far as the renting side goes, not only do we have beautiful homes, but they’re really well done and they’re safe. We also pair the finishes with smart home technologies before they’re rented out.

When residents or potential residents go to view our homes, they can really see that we take pride in what we do. We have great homes, and we have great teams taking care of the residents after they move in.

If someone chooses to sell to Imagine Homes, we make the process as easy as possible. We’re extremely flexible with timelines, the condition of the homes, and even offer delayed possessions or rent-back options. We believe in offering multiple options because we understand that every seller has different needs, and we’re happy to accommodate them.

I think that whether you’re selling your home to, renting from, or working with Imagine Homes Management, you’ll enjoy an uncomplicated process.

The best thing about my role is that I get to work for a company that I truly believe in and that I’m proud of.

I’m really thankful to have found a company that not only supports its employees but that really tries to be better every single day. We’re not just another property management company—we’re from these neighborhoods, and love making a positive impact where we live and work.

From buying the homes in desirable areas, to renovating them into these beautiful spaces, and onboarding residents and keeping them happy. We put in work for each and every aspect of the business.

I guess you can call it hometown pride, but we really do our best to honor the areas, and both the current and future residents. At the end of the day, we’re people who care about people.
