As a Vice President for Colliers International in Houston’s Property Management Services, Tearney fills an integral role in the company. Starting with Colliers in 2009, Tearney has worked in multiple facets of daily operations giving her an excellent knowledge in property management. She handles the oversight and training of several administrative staff, assistant managers, property managers and facility managers.

In her role, she mediates between tenants, owners and vendors to ensure all common goals are met. She is also responsible for setting up bank accounts for all new properties as well as coordinating the initial accounting set up while accomplishing financial objectives by collecting rents, paying bills, forecasting variances and initiating corrective action.
