Unlocking Doors | Episode 5: Investing in the Future of Maintenance with Coby Racine

🎙️ Featuring Coby Racine

Join us for the premiere episode of Unlocking Doors, a new podcast spotlighting career growth and opportunity in the Texas rental housing industry. Hosted by Christy Rodriguez of Judwin Properties, the series brings forward real stories, practical insights, and the lessons that help professionals open the next door in their careers.

Attracting and developing skilled maintenance talent is one of the Texas rental housing industry’s biggest challenges. In this episode, Coby Racine shares how he transitioned from retail and distribution work into multifamily through a maintenance apprenticeship program supported by the Texas Apartment Association Education Foundation. What began as after-hours training quickly became a career. In just a few years, Coby advanced from apprentice to technician to Assistant Maintenance Supervisor, supported by hands-on training, mentorship, and clear growth opportunities.

Coby’s story highlights the power of structured apprenticeships, accountability, and mentorship, and why investing in maintenance professionals isn’t optional, it’s strategic.

If you’re focused on workforce development, succession planning, or building strong maintenance teams, this episode is a must-listen 🚪➡️
