NEW JERSEY OFFICE MAGAZINE | 11 Fast forward to 2019, Terry Harris, COO of the Suburban Tri-state, needed major support to oversee operational excellence for the firm’s current New Jersey office property management portfolio and she knew Dana would be the perfect fit. Dana accepted. “Dana was a valuable member of JLL for more than 20 years, and never lost her JLL pride when going to work for P3 Properties in 2017,” says Terry. “She has maintained excellent relationships with JLL property management and leasing teams and will look to hit the ground running with our new capital markets colleagues as well.” “Coming back to JLL, although some things have changed, I know the platform, I know how to manage real estate and like to increase value for owners. What better way then delivering on a proven property management platform! I enjoy the oversight and interaction of working with the property teams, I want people to grow, develop and do better.” Dana said after her return to JLL. When asked about her goals for 2020, Dana said “We need meaningful growth on quality property management assignments. I want to continue to develop professional relationships with senior management and my colleagues, to lead and deliver exceptional service to our valued clients, recruit the right individuals and set them up to be successful. Our employees should feel valued, and when that happens they will provide great client and tenant service and to be afforded career growth opportunities with the firm. Ultimately, property management is rooted in customer service, and that’s what I want to ensure we deliver”. When asked if she had any fun property management stories to share, Dana responded, “I have so many stories that I can’t share! I’ve been writing them all down since the beginning and they should go into a book called ‘You Can’t Make This Sh*t Up”. Fun Facts About Dana: • Dana has been married to Jeff since 2003.
