SAN DIEGO, CA - Expanding its rapidly growing small properties division, San Diego-based Sunrise Management, which has specialized in managing multifamily properties since 1978, has added Monika Smutko as its newest regional vice president. Smutko takes charge of overseeing all property management functions for the firm’s rapidly small property division, comprised of single and multifamily properties with fewer than 22 units.
“Monika has an excellent track record in the Southern California market, as well as extensive experience in operations management, team development, financial reporting and business and revenue development,” said Joe Greenblatt, president and CEO of Sunrise Management. “Her expertise will be instrumental as we continue to expand our small properties division.”
An accomplished property management professional, Smutko has 15 years of property management experience and was most recently director of operations for Pasadena’s Invitation Homes, overseeing a staff of 30 and a $92 million budget. Prior to that she was a property manager for Los Angeles-based CIM Group, overseeing both mixed use and multifamily developments. She also worked as a senior community manager for BRE properties, and as a property manager for The Irvine Company and The REMM Group.
She is a licensed California real estate broker and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from UC Santa Barbara.
