This presentation will be a free ranging interview between two experienced landlords. We will cover, among other things:
- Building processes to be efficient and compliant
- Making connections to help you manage, acquire, and divest
- Leveraging technology to be efficient
- Differentiating yourself in a crowded market
Attendees will leave knowing how to succeed and with likely half a dozen ideas to implement in your business.
Our expert interviewee will be Russell Sabadosa of Premier Choice Realty. Russell founded Premier Choice Realty in 1993, which has grown from a property management company to a full-service real estate brokerage. Russell is president and oversees all aspects of the rental and sales on a daily basis. Russell is the owner of over 100 rental units across multiple LLCs with property sizes of 2 units to 28 units.

Other positions held adding to Sabadosa's management and leadership skills were project engineer 1989-1995 for large corporate Raytheon aerospace, IT director for small private company Commonwealth Packaging 1995-2002, and public sector for the state of Connecticut Manchester Community College as full tenured professor 2002-2015. Since 2015 Sabadosa has been focusing solely on Premier Choice Realty growth and community service. Sabadosa serves on the board of directors for:
- MassLandlords, member since 1995,

- MA Association of Realtors since 2017
