Lisa is the Founder + CEO of Flock DC, a family of real estate management companies in Washington, D.C. Flock is a purpose driven, values based company that offers a new model for business in a world that will increasingly depend on companies to contribute to stronger and more sustainable communities.
Flock’s inaugural brand, Nest DC took flight and disrupted the traditional property management paradigm offering a high touch, client forward business model that put people and place ahead of profit. Today, Nest is part of the Flock family of companies that fly in formation including Roost DC, Starling DC, and BirdWatch. Each delivers a totally unique experience to home dwellers throughout the region. In 2021, Flock’s most impactful program took flight. The birdSEED fund offers no-strings down payment grants to first time BIPOC home buyers in the DC area. This housing justice initiative is a critical investment in a more just and equitable future and a counterpoint to the industry’s racist history.
Lisa’s passion for the hands-on work of “landladying” took shape 25 years ago when she purchased a little historic adobe duplex in Tucson, Arizona. Property management had always been her side hustle, but in 2008, landladying for a living started to sound good, so she gave up her nonprofit political work knowing she could deliver real managing homes. Today, Flock keeps 65 folks employed and aggregates over 6.5 million in business annually. All told and all together, they manage over two billion dollars in real estate. And with her team, she built the companies one door at a time.
