Who is crazy enough to open this business of property management and real estate, Katrina and Roxane were in 2008. Rosie the Riveter has been an icon for generations of women because she did her part in helping her country and her community. Even though the world is a different place than it was when Rosie made her debut in the 1940s, she continues to inspire and empower women with the knowledge that they can achieve anything with hard work. It was the thought of Rosie’s strength and determination in their minds that helped give Katrina Blackwell and Roxane Nelson the push they needed to start their Property Management and Real Estate company in 2008. They had no employees, and they had to work side by side out of a tiny, one-room office in Mountain Brook. But, they had a vision that they could help people and make a difference in their community.
After ten years of business, Katrina and Roxane have turned their two-woman operation into a growing company with over fifteen employees. Blackwell Nelson Companies continues to expand their services with a multitude of divisions inclusive of Home Owner Associations, Multi-Family, Project Management, Real Estate, and Leasing. Our team is the reason why Blackwell Nelson is successful.
While Roxane and Katrina’s vision for their company has expanded in the past decade, they have not forgotten why they started their company in the first place. They continue to strive to help make their communities a better place in hopes of carrying on the legacy Rosie embodies of what it means to be a hard-working woman.
Blackwell Nelson Companies is always ready for new opportunities and new challenges. Just imagine what Blackwell Nelson Companies can do for you!
