Property Manager Spotlight: Q&A with Danielle Hildebrand

May 17, 2023

Excellent property management requires someone who is dedicated, driven, communicative, and efficient. Meet our newest member of the team: Danielle Hildebrand. Danielle is a lifelong local of Kitsap County, and we recently connected with her to learn more about her background. Check out our Q & A below.

1. What drew you to property management?

I have always been drawn to real estate. I love helping owners with their rentals and relieving them of the stress of self-managing their properties.

2. Was this an obvious career path for you?

Once I took this path, it became clear that this is what I was meant to do!

3. What do you love about working as a Windermere property manager?

I love the incredible staff that work hard to make sure things run smoothly.

4. What’s the best part of your job?

When I get to tell a tenant that they've qualified for a home, and when I get to tell the owner that I found a well-qualified tenant.

5. Every job has its challenges. What is one of the challenges of being a property manager and how do you try to address it?

The biggest challenge is time management. There is always something to be done, someone to call, emails to respond to, etc. Staying highly organized is vital to keep my head above water.

6. What’s one surprising thing that clients and/or colleagues might not know about you?

I love Bigfoot. I collect anything Sasquatch related.

7. Name two personality traits that you possess and how they benefit your clients.

Friendly: I try to put myself in the shoes of the tenant and the homeowner in order to make the best decisions that will benefit everyone.

Hard working: I do not stop until the job is completed. I love my job and work very hard.

8. Windermere Property Management/West Sound manages a variety of properties across Kitsap County. How long have you lived here and what do you think is one of the best parts about the Kitsap Peninsula?

My grandparents moved to Bremerton when they were children. Their parents needed work and the shipyard had plenty. My husband's family had a road named after them on Bainbridge Island. I grew up in Poulsbo and graduated from NKHS. I love the PNW! I also love sharing my local knowledge with those new to the area. My favorite part of Kitsap would have to be the incredible Puget Sound!

9. How do you try to stay involved in the community?

My children help me to stay involved by volunteering at their schools and sports events.

10. Can you share a recent professional moment that really filled you with joy?

I recently had a tenant that had fallen behind on her utility bills due to unforeseen circumstances. This had caused her an incredible amount of stress. I was able to get her in touch with local services that were able to help her financially and lift that heavy burden from her. I take great joy in helping others and offering guidance when needed.
