Meet the Development Team

Lisa A. Mankoski (Massis) was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL where she started her Real Estate Investment Management career in 1998 with AIMCO. S Since then she has successfully managed communities and portfolios nationwide, specializing in New Construction/renovation projects and value-add class B & C assets. This unique background has allowed her to successfully complete dozens of Lease-up projects, many simultaneously. Prior to Lofty, Lisa was a Regional Manager with San Miguel Management. Upon joining the SMM team, she was immediately tasked with a highly distressed, six property portfolio comprised of 1851 units scattered throughout Jacksonville. In 2013 she left her investors with a stable, highly profitable real estate investment portfolio and a well-crafted team to sustain its success!

Lisa founded Lofty on one simple principal “run it like you own it”. Her commitment to this approach has distinguished Lofty from all other Property Management companies and is unparalleled in industry standards. Her versatile background working with both local and National investment and development groups provide her with a unique understanding of how to provide boutique, catered service on a large scale. Her proven ability to recognize, develop and capitalize on real estate investment opportunities has served her investors well past expectation!

Harmony Bazzell, Marketing Director, is a Jacksonville native with over 20 years of marketing experience, 10 of which were directly related to multi-family properties.  Harmony is our newest addition, she came to Lofty from For Rent, the 3^rd largest multi-family marketing site in Northeast FL. Harmony brings a new level of engagement and interactive abilities with not only prospective tenants but also our existing resident base.   Our industry is merging with the Social Media world and in good Lofty fashion, we want to lead the pack in finding new and creative ways to utilize social media in our daily operations.   

Patricia Hatch, Director of Quality Assurance, was born and raised in Richmond, VA and later moved to Hampton Roads, VA where she attended Virginia Wesleyan College.  Patricia started her career in the mid-80’s working in Healthcare Information Technology for over 20 years before she was relocated to Jacksonville, Fl in 2008 due to an employment opportunity for her husband.  Once in Florida, she decided on a new career path obtaining her FL Real Estate license and began selling residential homes for Keller Williams.  In 2016 Patricia pursued and obtained her FL RE Brokers license and was introduced to Lofty through a mutual friend who recognized a moral and professional compass in Patricia that aligned with Lofty’s ethics and philosophy in business.  A new relationship was formed, and Patricia was brought in to conduct monthly audits of our communities, reviewing both the physical conditions and file administration at each site. This permitted Lofty a continual and completely unbiased view of how our assets were performing and how our teams were maintaining and improving each community month by month. It was a unique and valuable tool that provided our sites an advantage over the competition and a constant grading scale of our management abilities. More recently Patricia has assumed additional roles within Lofty, such as managing vendor contracts and pricing, managing Lender demands including reserves and communicating on capital projects.  It is in the details that generally go unattended, that become the focus in a Quality Assurance Director and Patricia fulfills that role with each decision and every detail.
