IMG Communications Director Receives GlobeSt Influencer Award

Woodland Hills, CA— July 28, 2021— Investors Management Group (“IMG”), a real estate sponsor focused on multifamily assets across a national platform, today announced that Communications Director Julie Flesner was named in the GlobeSt Women to Watch in Commercial Real Estate Class of 2021. For over three decades, GlobeSt Real Estate Forum has recognized highly credentialed CRE professionals for their remarkable achievements in their annual Women of Influence program.

Flesner was selected as an influential leader who is working to position multifamily investment for a more inclusive future. The individuals chosen in this category are rising stars whose accomplishments, ambition and talent have made them standout in their field.

“Jules reflects the core values of IMG, continuously finding creative solutions to simplify the investment process for our clients,” said Neil Schimmel, CEO of Investors Management Group. “It’s an honor to see her included on such an elite list of influencers, and to watch our entire team collaborate to move our industry forward.”

IMG’s online equity crowdfunding technology is disrupting traditional investor circles and bringing in a more diversified group of investors than ever before. Over the past 10 months, the firm has secured more than $100 million from 500+ private equity investors to acquire 1,500 apartment units ($233 million in value), growing the firm’s national portfolio to over 4,300 units.

As the Communications Director of IMG, Flesner supports the Investor Relations, Acquisitions, Finance and Asset Management departments to ensure the firm’s network of over 1,500 investor clients and colleagues are well informed. Last year she directed the launch of a new RealPage-IMS investor portal and worked closely with the company’s support and development team to improve the new technology. Her efforts resulted in increased transparency of investment property operations and pandemic impact reporting and opened up participation in CRE investment opportunities via public advertisement and direct, online access to investment properties.

According to Nichole Morford, ALM Digital Editor-In-Chief, the number of candidates for the 2021 Women of Influence program “saw astounding growth, with nomination volume up nearly 100% over the prior year. And it’s not just women who are bringing about this change. This year we are also acknowledging several men who have stood out as diversity champions, as we know how critical that support is in creating a stronger and more inclusive industry.”

The Class of 2021 winners were honored at the GlobeSt. Women of Influence Awards Dinner in Park City, UT on July 22 and will have a spotlight in the GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum July/August issue.

IMG congratulates all Women of Influence Class of 2021 nominees including our personal colleagues
across the diversity champion, innovator, finance, broker and service provider categories.
