In this episode of Mastering Property Management, we’re joined by Oren Lamon, a senior leader at Harvard Development—a privately owned Canadian real estate company known for disciplined growth, long-term stewardship, and operational excellence across its portfolio.

 ✅ How customer service and operational knowledge become more important as responsibilities grow

 ✅ Why true success comes from caring about the end product and every stakeholder involved
