Walter

Chief Alpaca Tracker

When you want the freshest halibut, you don't go to the fish counter at the grocery store- You go to John, The Huntington Beach Halibut guy. When you want a couture suit, you don’t go to Kohl’s- You go to Chanel. And when you don't want to blow your 1031 exchange IRS deadlines- You go to Walter.

Walter is responsible for overseeing the IMG Investor Relations 1031 Exchange Investment Tracker. This high pressure role involves organizing millions of dollars in commercial real estate transactions, navigating complex IRS Section 1031 tax code rules and calendar deadlines.

But ask Walter how he feels about these demands of being a sought-after tracker, and he’ll just say... “It’s no prob-llama.”

Unfortunately, a sheering accident with an unlicensed Australian hairstylist in 2022 left Walter with zero self-esteem. Motivated to serve his community, Walter went on to start his non-profit organization “Trauma Llama”, raising awareness of alpaca body image issues and promoting positive sense of self-worth in alpaca teens and adults.

Chloe

Work-Life Balance Su-paw-visor

Chloe has been working at IMG since she was just 8 weeks old.

She's learned a lot about her role in her first year in the industry- so much so, that her daily tasks are now on a merry-go-round *bark bark bark*.

Chloe’s strategy for success is a simple one... I-P-A:

Intense cuddles
Pawsitive bark-enforcement
Adorability

Chloe is currently pursuing her Masters of HR (Hooman Resources) with a minor in Barketing.

When Chloe isn't busy going on walks or ensuring all IMG staff meets their work-life balance goals daily via her signature IPA strategy, she likes to read her favorite book, Hairy Pawtter, and listen to her favorite band, The Beagles.

Boogie

Branch Manager

Boogie, an American Bully, boasts more than a year of experience in Barket Research and community petworking.

At IMG, Boogie focuses on the critical removal of all stick liabilities and hazards. He also oversees water testing – pressure / gpm / water levels and sustainability. Boogie also handles irrigation and fountain testing and PM in a generous rotation. He dutifully attends every weekly company-wide Zoom meeting to receive the latest barket updates.

Boogie's hobbies include basketball, swimming, and he loves a good tug-of-war game. As a charming and sensitive Pisces, bubble bath time is the ultimate treat for Boogie.

A true master of operational efficiency, Boogie outsources the game of fetch to third-party contractors so he can stay focused on what he loves best: being chased around by pretty ladies. As a side gig, he raps with the stage name Boogie Smalls.

Boogie earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Barkford.

Maxwell

Senior Meowthematician

No one is really sure how this 2-year old got a Bachelor's of Science in Financial Management (Meowthematics Major) from Mew York University with a Dean's Recom-meow-ndation of Honors, so quickly. It's a meow-stery.

But nonetheless, Maxwell has pounced forward with a sixth sense that is rarely seen in the accounting world. Clawing his way to the top position of Senior Meowthematician is no joke. Certainly he's left a trail of mice in his wake.

In addition to his status as an accounting genius, on the side, Maxwell has opened a hair-ball expectorant cat-alyst bar called 9 Lives Bar and Grill in Los Angeles. This first-of-it's-kind bar is filled with special cocktails and treats designed to get those pesky hairballs out. It's had so much success that Catio Magazine has awarded him with the heavily coveted Meow Wow Award.

Maxwell says, "Stay tuned for more surprises. I'm im-paw-ssible to stop!"

Joe

Fertilization Specialist

When we needed someone who could turn our grass from green to yellow in less than a week, and to dig small holes where they were NOT needed, we turned to world renowned industry expert, Joe Crook.

Joe earned his bachelors in bark-eology from UNLV and came to IMG with years of experience barking at the smallest sounds anytime, day or night. Since 2020, Joe has found a successful hybrid workflow between his Woodland Hills paw-ffice and a work-from-home desk on top of a pool frog floaty.

Always one to expand his skill set, Joe has recently taken on the additional task of chewing up and eating baby pacifiers.

Joe enjoys long walks in the park and listening to his favorite rock band, Mütt-ley Crüe. On the weekends, you'll find him in front of a TV watching Sex in the City; his favorite actress is Sarah Jessica Barker.

Eve

Social Committee Chair

Eve is most commonly referred to by her peers as "a dream."

At five years young, Eve is IMG's Head of the Home Office Social Committee. Her excitement when the phone rings is second to none and she's eager to greet everyone with a "shake."

An Australian Shepherd ("Aussie," for short), Eve brings a global perspective to IMG's Investor Relations team. Underscoring the company's inclusive workplace environment is how she surprise attacks co-workers with snuggles.

Whether Eve is chairing an investment committee or a social one, her fantastic interpersonal skills have helped support IMG's network of thousands of investors. She makes herself especially useful on cold, Oregon mornings as a foot warmer.

Naturally, she's befriended her office coworkers and feels collaboration and communal napping are the best recipes for success on the job.

Eve holds a dog-torate in International Economic Policy from University of Massa-chew-setts Amherst.

The Wolf Whisperer

Investor Relations Specialist

Howl does IMG educate and support its Co-owner and Limited Partner investors? Howl does our investor relations team simplify complex jargon and processes in order to successfully deliver profitable real estate investments for our clients?

Meet the immortal Wolf Whisperer.

The Whisperer is a critical member of the IMG wolf pack. Every day he sits discreetly underneath a desk, armed and ready with EVERY answer to the hundreds of incoming inquiries we receive every month.

When his human is busy recording IMG's quarterly report webcasts and investment offering webinars, The Wolf Whisperer will either hunt for M&Ms in the carpet or move to the window and startle neighbors as they pass by.

In his spare time, Wolf Whisperer enjoys creepin' and lurkin' around the lush, Pacific Northwest forests close to IMG's Portland office where six seasons of the popular NBC show Grimm was filmed. His favorite time of year is Howl-o-ween.

ROMAN

Special Undercuddler Insurance Operations

Meet Roman, king of the Investors Management Group book club. Roman knows it all. No... really. His little eyes are windows into his...brain! Roman is currently cruising through x2 books a week. That's about 9 books a month.

Roman was found as a stray in Lancaster City when he was only one year old. He didn't start reading until he was 6 months old but that means he already had an impressive 54 books under his belt when he was rescued.

But... who rescued who here? Roman has since turned into the household love bug and has been given the prestigious award of "Sweetest, Most Loving Dog Ever." Well, duh, he's a 5 year old Cavachon, which is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixed with a Bichon Frise. Wow, right?

Rumor has it this exquisite mix has caught the eye of legendary runway model Cindy Pawford. I guess it's true. Women love brains!

Roman holds a Masters Degree in Literature from Oxfurd University.

Charlie

Chief Financial Pawfficer

The ulti-mutt expert on capital markets, Charlie oversees all of the company’s financial functions including accounting, audit, corporate finance and HR.

Prior to joining IMG, Charlie served as senior vice president and CFO at Yardi. He resigned promptly after realizing the role did not include sunbathing in an actual yard.

True to his work hard/play hard yin-yang-master energy, Charlie can often be found in upward facing dog yoga pose. He inspires us all to paws and reflect along our own personal trans-fur-mational spiritual journeys.

In his spare time, Charlie owns every tennis ball he sees.

He is a Certified PUP-lic Accountant with a Finance degree from Yowl University.

Lola & Merlin

On-Air Purr-sonalities

Do you believe in furry tails? Born on the rough streets of Orange County, California, Lola & Merlin were picked up by a local rescue shelter and then went to live in a meow-gical cat cafe in Laguna Beach's downtown shopping district.

After two years of living the luxury cat cafe life- full of daily guests, network TV and mewspaper appearances and hosting community events- sadly, these bonded siblings had also endured two years of adoption fails.

At the beginning of the pandemic, the cafe was forced to close and the two faced an uncertain future. That's when IMG's Portland, Oregon office open its doors to Lola & Merlin. The two traveled over 1,000 miles to their fur-ever home in IMG's Investor Relations department, and the rest is hiss-tory.*

When they're not sticking their tails into their human's webcam in daily team meetings, you can find Lo & Merle on board USA SPACE CAT monitoring IMG's nationwide apartment portfolio from meow-ter space**.

*This one's actually a true story... we're not kitten around!
**The SPACE CAT aircraft is currently grounded for cardboard repair maintenance.
