Brianne Leichliter, Cardinal Property Solutions, Broker/Owner

Brianne Leichliter, Broker/Owner of Cardinal Property Solutions, embarked on an entrepreneurial journey in 2021, a significant shift from her extensive corporate background. While initially on a corporate executive track, the widespread layoffs of 2021 prompted Brianne to leverage her corporate expertise to build a more secure future independently.
Her corporate tenure provided a robust foundation, where she honed critical skills in communication, process improvement, and strategy through various manufacturing roles encompassing inventory, supply chain management, and delivery. However, a deep-seated passion for real estate, coupled with an innovative spirit, led her to establish Cardinal Property Solutions. This venture was born from a vision to redefine real estate services, uniquely blending her experience as a real estate investor with a dedication to improving tenant quality of life and optimizing real estate investments.

Cardinal Property Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of services, including real estate agency, property management, and construction. The firm specializes in the acquisition and meticulous management of long-term rental units. Brianne emphasizes building enduring client relationships, delivering outstanding service, and continuously enhancing the overall client experience.

What Are We About?

The purpose of this council is to cultivate strong leadership skills in women, helping them excel as business professionals, public speakers, and community leaders in the real estate and property management sectors. While our focus is primarily on women’s development, we also welcome men to join our trainings, webinars, and breakout sessions led by women to gain valuable insights for working with female colleagues in their businesses.

The changing landscape of property management operations calls for embracing the unique qualities that women bring to the table. This is not a matter of gender, but rather an opportunity for both men and women to connect and enhance the industry together. Through these connections, we can elevate the field of property management, which is the ultimate goal of NARPM® and its members.

Women often have limited role models and mentors, leading them to conform to traditional leadership models that may not highlight their individual strengths. We believe in nurturing those who are ready to step into positions where they can utilize their innate leadership abilities.
