Levin Management Corporation (LMC) has promoted Denise Ciaravino to director of operations. The move recognizes her exceptional leadership and longstanding contributions to the firm’s property management department, according to Erika Morasco, vice president of property management.
Ciaravino’s promotion marks her second career advancement at LMC in four years. A Middletown, N.J., resident, she joined the commercial real estate services firm as a property manager in 2006 and steadily rose through the ranks, most recently serving as portfolio manager.
“Denise is a true asset to the property management team, and we congratulate her on this well-deserved appointment,” said Morasco. “Her leadership, hard work and many years of experience have been instrumental to our company's success. She is also a mentor to the entire property management team, helping to support and guide others in their professional growth. We are thrilled to see her step into this new role and know she will continue to deliver outstanding results."
As director of operations, Ciaravino is monitoring and augmenting LMC’s property management operational procedures to increase efficiency and ensure compliance with both industry regulations and LMC quality standards. Additionally, she is managing LMC property managers’ day-to-day activities, including initial and ongoing training, and overseeing property inspections.
“We strongly believe in recognizing and rewarding exceptional performance, and always take great pride in promoting from within,” noted LMC’s Matthew K. Harding, chief executive officer. “Denise is a great example of the high-caliber professionals who are upholding Levin’s legacy of outstanding service to landlords and tenants.”
Ciaravino holds a bachelor’s degree in management science from Kean University, where she graduated magna cum laude. She maintains a Real Property Administrator (RPA) designation and has been an active member of the Building Owners & Managers Association of New Jersey (BOMA-NJ) since 2004. In 2023, she was honored with BOMA-NJ’s “Retail Property Management Professional” award, which recognizes commercial real estate professionals who have demonstrated exceptional standards and commitment to their work, and dedication to advancing the industry.
“I am very excited and honored to take on this new role,” said Ciaravino. “I look forward to working alongside Levin’s dedicated property management team to streamline processes, ensure efficiency, and continue providing the highest quality of service to our clients and tenants.”
