Two Clarity Commercial Property Managers Celebrate Significant Career Milestones with IREM

Minneapolis, MN (July 22, 2021) – Clarity Commercial is celebrating significant career milestones for two of the company’s up-and-coming property managers. Taylor Sonnenfeld was selected for IREM’s Next Gen CPM® Leaders program. Addie Kubitz was selected as one of IREM’s 30 Under 30 property managers and earned the organization’s ACoM certification.

Over the next 12 months, Taylor Sonnenfeld will join 18 other young property managers from across the country in the 2021-2022 Next Gen CPM® Leaders cohort.
