Featuring Danny Perea, Tropicana Properties

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.

In this episode, we hear the inspiring story of Danny Perea, Chief Operating Officer at Tropicana Properties, whose career began with a temporary staffing assignment and grew into nearly two decades of leadership in multifamily. From filing paperwork and assisting prospects to overseeing major portions of a portfolio and ultimately stepping into the COO role, Danny’s journey proves that success in this industry doesn’t have to follow a straight line.
