Bio
Natalie learned the art and science of entrepreneurship, real estate investing and asset operations from a very early age. Dinner table discussions about cap rates, hiring and firing team members and cash-flow maximization were the norm in her family. Some like to say she was born collecting rent.
After graduating college cum laude from Santa Clara University with degrees in Spanish and Marketing she was recruited into the Macy’s Executive Development Program. It was there she honed her leadership and management skills. Leading a team of 65 associates, she earned various sales awards within her district.
In 2012, Natalie joined the family business, Commercial Northwest. She quickly made an impact and was promoted to COO. In 2017, Natalie became the sole owner of Commercial Northwest.
Under Natalie’s leadership, Commercial Northwest has grown from a small multi-family management operation of 600 units to a fully integrated industry leader managing over 3,000 apartment units across Idaho. Natalie is also a licensed real estate agent and has personally sold over $200 million dollars worth of commercial real estate in her career. Natalie is a sought-after speaker and panelist on topics such as entrepreneurship, leadership, and real estate.
Natalie is passionate about giving back and is an active member of the community. She is the founder of a non-profit; TIPPS Experience, an annual 4-day personal growth retreat. She has been recognized for her business accomplishments and community involvement by the Idaho Business Review as one of Idaho’s Accomplished 40 Under 40, a Tribute to Women in Industry Award Winner by the WCA, and one of Idaho’s Women of the Year by the Idaho Business Review.
