John Modlin



Born and raised in California, John & Vicki have discovered a new home in South Carolina. John is a long-time comic book collector/reader, and when he’s not traveling for work, he enjoys spending time with his four grandkids.

Vicki Modlin

Vicki spent her early years teaching and directing at preschools and volunteering full days at elementary schools. She says, “I am not lost in the irony that as I aged, so did my new “classroom” of students, although my favorite audience now is my four grandchildren.”

Erin Kuehn

Originally from Virginia, Erin enjoys wearing many hats: Legacy Branch Manager, chef at home, zoo keeper of 3 fur babies, reader of mystery books, and wife to a Navy sailor.

Ramona Chavez

Born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, Ramona has called San Diego home for the last 8 years. She loves anything outdoors, especially in the mountains, and loves visiting Ocean Beach with Rusty, her 15-year-old Miniature Dachshund.

Jeremy Modlin

When Jeremy is not at work, he enjoys a range of activities, from attending hockey games and reading to playing strategy games. Bonus fun fact: “Before discovering property management, I wanted to be a professional bowler.”

Jason Evermore

When Jason is not working, you may find him hiking and spending time with his wife and two kids. Their shared love for spending time outdoors together is a testament to the importance of family in Jason’s life. “Family means everything to me, and I try to bring that same sense of connection and care to everything I do at work.”

Abbie Ridings

Abbie’s journey in multifamily began in 1999, and she has embraced the opportunity to take on various roles. “This industry is a dynamic one, and I’ve learned that it will take you wherever you are willing to go. As a proud mother of 3 beautiful children, they are my world. I also enjoy spending time with friends, exploring new places, and savoring a good glass of wine!” – Abbie
