Bio
Laurie Hodges has been with the Sherman Agency, Inc. since 2002. She began her career with SAI in our accounting department, working in various capacities, then rose to become the company’s accountant in 2016 and was promoted in late 2018 to our CFO and Operations Manager. Laurie has been an integral part in managing the daily finances, examining tenant financials as well as analyzing the company’s overall monetary health, channeling a strategic leadership role. Ensuring that, as the company grows, the finances are monitored and managed with unprecedented precision. Her strengths in judgement, honesty and ‘big picture’ thinking is critical in her role as CFO. In addition to overseeing financial performance, Laurie, as the Operations Manager, works to consistently improve the quality, productivity, and efficiency of our company’s policies, procedures and technology. She oversees high-level HR duties, analyzes organizational processes and efficiencies. Her past experience as a Licensed Real Estate Broker, a series 6 license holder as well as an accountant and office manager, gives her a well-rounded perspective on not only her responsibilities, but an understanding of the industry as a whole. Laurie has been in the Real Estate/Property Management industry for a total of 27 years.
In addition, her exemplary time and project management skills have aided her in coordinating, and then leading, the entire staff through two accounting software conversions. The Sherman Agency is not only a family-owned business; it is a family. Laurie is committed to ensuring that it continues to be so. One of her passions is the ongoing growth and development of SAI’s team members. Just as she steadily sought to advance in both her knowledge of the industry and her expertise in accounting and business administration, she seeks to provide growth opportunities for those who report to her. At the heart of everything she does for SAI is her commitment, teamwork and collaboration.
Laurie graduated from Gordon College in Massachusetts with dual bachelor degrees in Accounting and Business Administration and moved to Colorado in 1993. One of the great joys in her life is raising her four children, who range in age from 16 to 28. She has a passion for travel, traveling to 17 countries thus far. Her favorite destinations are Jamaica and Greece. Her garden is worthy of aspiration and is appreciated for its beauty, as well as its ability to provide sustenance for her family. She greatly enjoys cooking and has provided services as a personal chef and master baker. One of Laurie’s life philosophies is to look at all situations as the “glass being half-full” which helps her keep a positive attitude in most of her endeavors. Her friends and co-workers would say that she brings to mind a poem by Maya Angelou, “Just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides, just like hopes of springing high, Still I rise.”
