  • Shalanda Jackson

    Property Manager

Shalanda has spent two decades in real estate: 14 years were in residential real estate before she transitioned to commercial real estate and property management. The personal side of the business is what Shalanda finds most appealing: she wants to help people and build relationships.

    When she isn’t tending to one of the properties she manages, Shalanda might be visiting one of her two favorite places: an aquarium or a beach. No surprise, then, that she collects turtles. Shalanda’s family is the most important thing in her life. She even started a non-profit called K.A. Cares in honor of her niece, who has Angelman Syndrome. Shalanda has a personal motto that we know makes her not only a great person, but also an effective property manager: “True kindness and love can change anything! Once you change your mindset, you can change the world.”

  • Kristin Kristinsdottir

    Tenant Services Coordinator

    Kristin (pronounced like Christine) is here all the way from Iceland! She moved to NC in 2016, fought through severe homesickness, and graduated from ECU with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a business minor. She continues to work toward a Master’s Degree in Criminology. Though Kristin ultimately wants to work with at-risk youth, she’s found herself in the property management field twice, first in residential and now here with LMG in the commercial world.

    Kristin is an animal lover; she has rehabbed squirrels and birds and was the adopted mom to lambs on her grandparents’ sheep farm when she was growing up. She currently has slightly more domestic pets (two dogs and a cat) but they keep her on her toes. Kristin loves the mountains and in fact grew up in a home built into the side of one.

    In Iceland, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes are fairly commonplace and more annoying than anything, especially when they disrupt a good night’s sleep. It’s tough to rattle Kristin, and we know our tenants will appreciate her calm approach and resolve.

  • Esther Whitmore

Working with animals somewhat prepared Esther for property management as you really never know what might go wrong in a day and you may need to react quickly to an emergency situation. In the meantime, she’s very much enjoying learning the property management ropes. Esther prides herself on her extremely green thumb, and she’s excited to have ventured recently into orchid territory. If you’re looking for her after hours, you’re likely to find her perusing the plants at a nursery or taking her dog on long walks around her neighborhood.
