NAI Earle Furman Promotes Three Property Management Associates
February 2024 – NAI Earle Furman is pleased to announce the promotion of Jennifer McJunkin as the Manager of Lease Administration, Nick Smith as Senior Property Manager, and Austin Thompson as Senior Property Manager. Jennifer joined NAI Earle Furman as a Property Management Lease Administrator in 2015. Jennifer has been instrumental in developing processes and procedures for the lease administration department that were largely unstructured upon her arrival. Her meticulous work ethic, accuracy, and attention to detail have created a strong foundation for property management. As Manager of Lease Administration, she will continue to oversee the lease administration activities and will be responsible for the supervision and direction of the division.
Since joining NAI Earle Furman in 2010, Nick Smith has been one of NAI Earle Furman’s most tenured property managers. Nick’s clients are his number one priority, and his knowledge of the industry is second to none. He is respected by his peers and has naturally assumed a mentorship role helping to develop talent within the property management team. As Senior Property Manager, Nick will continue to manage his current portfolio of 2.3 million square feet and help lead the property management division to new heights.
Austin joined NAI Earle Furman as a Junior Property Manager in 2014 after working for UPS. In 9 short years, Austin has become one of NAI Earle Furman’s most experienced property managers. He currently manages over 30 properties for one of NAI Earle Furman’s largest clients; a testament to the trust he has instilled with the Landlord. Austin focuses primarily on facilities management for large, single-tenant industrial properties and will continue to manage his extensive portfolio of 11.4 million square feet.
“Jennifer, Nick, and Austin have been essential to the growth and success of NAI Earle Furman property management over the last decade. We wouldn’t be where we are today without them. I am extremely grateful for their contributions and their dedication to NAI Earle Furman. I am very excited for them and what the future holds.” – Brent Atwood, EVP of Property Management.
