New CPM® Looking Towards the Future

Kenneth Finch has a full professional life managing a portfolio of commercial, office and industrial properties within the Greater Toronto Area for Delcom Management Services Inc. and the satisfaction of his job is what drives him to succeed.

“Working with a great team of property administrators, managers and accountants, functioning together to achieve our goals, is what I find to be the most rewarding part of my career,” Finch explains.

He may control a half a million square feet of rentable space in the GTA, but he is also a licensed REALTOR® with HomeLife Vision Realty Inc. helping add to his already impressive credentials in the Real Estate Word.

When he is not working on his next big deal for Delcom, much time is spent on the golf course and preparing for his upcoming wedding to fiancée Kerry next summer.

Having freshly earned his CPM® designation in just under three years, Finch has gravitated towards success in almost everything he has done. He is hoping that REIC will help play a part in that for the future, helping prove to potential clients why they should use his services.

“As a REIC member, I have proven that I have a commitment to professionalism, experience, education, and ethics, which escalates me to a higher level of excellence in the real estate industry.”

Originally working in marketing and promotion, Finch moved into the real estate industry due to the stability and opportunities he viewed it could present him with, ensuring a strong illustrious career. He has been a property manager since 2002.

As a property manager, Finch felt going for his CPM® designation was a simple no-brainer that could do nothing but benefit his career. “To me the CPM® designation stands for professionalism and integrity. It provides career-oriented training that includes modules to analyze a property's physical and fiscal performance, implement policies and procedures to enhance short and long-term property values, and courses that enhanced my abilities to market, retain and improve tenant, resident and employee relations.”

A man who believes that his education provides the cornerstone to his success, Finch has plans to earn other designations including the Fellow of the Real Estate Institute.

Working out of offices in Toronto and Newmarket, Finch He is looking to expand with Delcom Management Services while getting involved with limited partnership real estate syndicates. He’s focused on the future but still looks fondly on what he has accomplished so far, stating buying his first apartment building as an extremely proud moment in his career.

With the great deal of success Finch has achieved during his young career, he has also had his share of unusual events happen while on the job.

“I was working on a development project with my previous employer and uncovered a buried Cadillac with a backhoe.” Finch explains, then smiles. “The police were called and towed the vehicle away. We never did ask if they found anything in the trunk.”
