DeDe Farmer
Director of Administration
With over 45 years of business experience, there isn’t anything our team can’t come to DeDe with, and we don’t know what we’d do without her. It’s easy to say that she makes sure our office is constantly running smoothly, but it really applies to our entire company. Her knowledge of all things Property Pros makes DeDe an invaluable member of our team! When she’s not in the office (which is rare), you can find her spending time with her grandchildren and exploring Europe every few years. She can’t wait until her grandchildren are old enough to go with her.

Ashley Evans
Director of Employee Success
Ashley’s title may say Director of Employee Success, but she’ll take on any project thrown her way to help the team. She is the head of Human Resources and also helps in our Accounting and Marketing divisions. If you ask her what her favorite thing about Property Pros is, Ashley would talk passionately about how the company is continuously making improvements to enhance the experience for clients, as well as making it a great place to work for their employees. When she isn’t taking on different assignments around the office, you can most likely find her at Ruoff Music Center for a concert or visiting her old stomping grounds at Purdue. #BoilerUp
