A Fun Way to Work: Scott Sears

Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Scott got his start in property management in a mailroom in the Windy City. From there, he worked his way into an assistant position, then to manager. After seven years of conducting property inspections in sub-zero temperatures, he decided it was time for a change. Since he and his wife had met while Scott was briefly living in North Hollywood after college, the couple decided to head back to Southern California where she had family and they could both thaw out.

Today, his management style is best summed up in one word – fun. With the goal of putting smiles on the faces of the people he meets each day, Scott truly enjoys his job. From his humble beginnings as a teenage Sandwich Artist at Subway to his office at Action, Scott’s positive attitude has impacted countless people.

One of Action’s values is to Be Professional While Having Fun, and this is exactly how Scott sees his role. As a supervisor of a team of managers, Scott keeps sharp by managing three communities of his own. He regularly attends board meetings that are full of people who have already spent a long day at work. They are tired, but they still have one more job to do. To help make these meetings more enjoyable, Scott has made it his goal to make someone laugh at each meeting.
