“Grace Hill has been instrumental in providing course content that meets current regulatory requirements so that we do not have to generate that in house.”
Diane Tidwell
Director of Property Management
Overview
Gumenick Properties is an award-winning real estate development and management company with operations throughout the Southeast. Founded in the late 1940s, the company now engages in three primary lines of business — apartment community development and operation, new home building, and commercial office and retail investment.
Challenge
Tidwell notes, “Some of our biggest challenges just relate to the size of our company and the fast-paced nature of our industry. Without a dedicated training department, we would be unable to respond to the ever-evolving landscape of our industry without the help of Grace Hill’s suite of performance solutions.”
