Bisnow is pleased to introduce our new Texas business manager, Karen Pierre. Karen comes to us with almost 29 years of commercial real estate experience, including working as a property manager and selling dumpsters to high-rise office building owners. Here’s some things we thought you might like to know about Karen.

Photo: At the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (19,336 feet). I've also hiked to the base camp of Mount Everest, hiked on Easter Island, Nepal, and on every continent where I can fly commercially.

More random facts: I’m a certified crazy cat lady. I also got married for the first time at age 50 (it was my husband’s first marriage, too). We were set up on a blind date at 28, dated for a year, went separate ways, then met up again five years ago.

Why Bisnow: I am such a people person. Bisnow does such a great job interacting with people, networking, and forming relationships; I’m looking forward to being a part of that. I think I know everyone in Dallas already (as a fourth generation Dallasite), so this will be great.
