About Margaret

Margaret is Director of Industrial Property Management at Childress Klein, where she oversees the day-to-day operation of the firm’s manufacturing, distribution and warehouse facilities. She brings 35 years of commercial real estate experience to the role.

A New York native, Margaret began her career as a lease administrator with Cauble & Company in Atlanta. After moving to Charlotte in 1996, she joined CK and found her calling in property management, rising from Senior Industrial Property Manager to Regional Industrial Property Manager in 2019 and Director in 2023.

Margaret has been part of CK’s industrial team as the portfolio grew from 2 million to 13 million square feet. She likens property management to a roller coaster, with no two days the same, and enjoys solving problems and making a difference for tenants. A licensed North Carolina real estate broker since 1996, she has also volunteered with United Way, Habitat for Humanity and Safe Alliance.

A property manager must be able to wear a lot of metaphorical hats. The learning is not in the teaching; it’s in the doing. Our roles are vast - project manager, budget planner, lease administrator, tenant relations manager and sometimes even therapist. It's challenging and can be overwhelming but, in the end, it's rewarding.
