We do constant training, both structured and informal, to always make ourselves better.

Our Service

In an ideal world, tenants would pay their rent on time, buildings would never have any issues, and the building owners could ride off into the sunset. The world isn’t ideal. Rents are late. Things break. Help is needed. That is where we step in. Windsor provides a white glove service so owners can still ride off into the sunset.

What Success Looks Like for You

It is valuable for new Portfolio Managers (PMs) to get up to speed steadily and we want you to take the time to invest in skills and development as you learn our processes. You will start with roughly a third of a normal portfolio and grow into a full portfolio over six months. We do not manage to KPIs. Instead, we lead through communication and trust. How the workload is; how the buildings are doing; your ability to handle more complex and challenging buildings. Collectively the team knows which PMs they can go to with questions. They know who always delivers for their owners. They know who can solve the hardest, trickiest problems. That is how we define success.
