Traci McCauley

Vice president

NAI Norris, Beggs & Simpson

When Traci McCauley met Norris, Beggs & Simpson CEO Jan Robertson, she had no idea that it would lead to a career in a specialized area of real estate.

鈥淪he was really inspiring to talk to,鈥� McCauley said. 鈥淪he offered me an opportunity, and it went from there to getting immersed in property management. After a while, for the first time in my life, I felt like I could make a career out of this. I really enjoyed it and she鈥檚 so supportive. That鈥檚 very powerful. I鈥檓 thankful to have such a great mentor.鈥�

Beginning as an on-site management assistant at the Cornell Oaks Center in Beaverton for NBS, McCauley quickly moved into project management.

As her experience and knowledge grew, she began to climb the professional ladder. Since becoming a property manager in 2002, she has managed an increasingly impressive portfolio of properties, including the 217 Distribution Center, the Wilsonville Distribution Center, the Cascade Business Center and the Yeon Business Center. She has been responsible for the financial and maintenance health of more than 3.6 million square feet of office, retail and industrial properties collectively.

McCauley pursued additional education to earn the certifications that would lead to greater responsibilities. She evolved from preparing leases, managing tenant improvements and overseeing marketing projects to become a property manager in 2002. Her experience from the bottom up has given her an insight that has been a benefit both to the overall efficiency of her role and the understanding client needs from a ground-floor perspective. She is actively involved with the National Association of Realtors and a current board member of the Institute of Real Estate Management. She earned credentials as Certified Property Manager, Certified Green Broker and received her Oregon Principal Broker鈥檚 license in 2014. Her continued excellence has led to her being named as NBS Property Manager of the Year in 2007, 2008 and 2014.

She currently serves as president of the IREM Oregon-Columbia River Chapter 29, after serving terms as the organization鈥檚 vice president of member services and vice president of education. She also is involved with the Brian Grant Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people affected by Parkinson鈥檚 disease.

She is active with the Bilquist Elementary PTA and served on the school鈥檚 site council. In addition to volunteering at Reynolds High School, she participates in its Challenge Day program promoting compassion and connection between students, teachers and community members.
