Jason Wasserbauer
Vice President
Director of Operations

Jason has a vast amount of experience in the rental industry. He began as a general manager in the fast paced car rental industry. He soon moved his sights to property management where he began his 10 year property management career as a Regional Property Manager, Regional Operations Manager and Director.

Over the years, Jason has worked with many different types of multi-family housing. He is well versed in the affordable housing industry, as well as market-rate communities. His intimate knowledge of the industry helps Apollo Property Management shape and mold solid organizational policies and procedures. He is a specialist in building individual property strategic business plans.

Since 2000, Jason has operated multi family properties in locations throughout the Midwest U.S. He takes a "taskforce" approach to the property’s management, assembling an appropriate team of experts to match specific challenges.

He works to immediately secure the asset and move rapidly to ensure that vacant units are vacant, down units are down, life safety issues are identified, that the rent roll reflects available leases, and that operating costs are consistent with the local market. He proactively find solutions that generate bottom-line results.

Jason’s goal is to maximize the asset’s ultimate value -- improving operating efficiencies, controlling cash, increasing market share, alleviating liability exposures, restructuring often overwhelming contracts, enhancing the asset’s business reputation, boosting employee morale, and improving its curb-appeal. This brings a more marketable property and a higher sales price.

Before his involvement with Apollo Property Management, Jason worked with other prominent property management firms in the Cleveland area. He joined Apollo in 2009. He is an accredited Certified Occupancy Specialist (COS), and he has a BA in Business Management from Walsh University.
