CCI Manitoba director Mara Doctoroff of Cushman & Wakefield | Stevenson (CWS) has been recognized as Property Manager of the Year by the Professional Property Managers Association at its annual general meeting and trade show.

Mara is known both inside and outside the CWS office for her positive attitude and for always going above and beyond for her condo boards, owners and co-workers. Mara's commitment to providing her clients with remarkable service is recognized across Manitoba's property management community.

Mara truly has a heart of gold. Although property managers can receive a high volume of complaints and negative feedback from tenants, Mara always has a positive attitude. She goes out of her way to give her co-workers kudos and make all new employees feel welcome. Her breadth of knowledge and depth of experience are evident in the impact she has on unit owners and condo boards, and her efforts do not go unnoticed by the owners in the buildings she manages.

Mara is one of the first people at the office every morning, arriving at least an hour early every day. She goes out of her way for condo boards and owners, always going the extra mile. She introduces herself to new owners when they purchase a condo and lets them know all of the ins and outs of their building. She creates a genuine connection and builds trust with unit owners, often leading to owners inviting her in for a visit.

Mara has been working in the property management industry for eight years and was elected to CCI Manitoba’s Board of Directors at our AGM in 2023. She is serving as the co-chair of CCI Manitoba’s Education Committee and is also a member of CCI Manitoba’s Marketing Committee and Sponsorship & AGM Committee.

Please join us in congratulating Mara.

Mara’s award wasn’t the only one related to Cushman & Wakefield | Stevenson, a long-time member of CCI Manitoba. It also won PPMA’s Outstanding Community Service Award. —
