The Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms, is pleased to announce Kerry Anne Dervil of Taunton, Massachusetts, as a senior property manager.

In this role she is responsible for the physical, financial, and administrative operations of the buildings within her portfolio, including day-to-day site property duties, resident relations, budgetary analysis and staff supervision, training, and development.

Dervil joins the Peabody Companies with extensive experience in the property management industry, most recently with First Realty Management in Boston. She holds a C10P Tax Credit Certification, an Associate in Risk Management (ARM™) designation, a Fair Housing Compliance (FHC) certificate, and a National Affordable Housing Professional Executive (NAHPE) certificate.  She is a Specialist in Housing Credit Management (SHCM) and a Certified Property Manager (CPM), as well as a notary public for the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

A graduate of Fisher College with an associate degree in criminal justice, Dervil’s career path changed when she was introduced to the property management field as a resident activities director in 1998, at which time she fell in love with the housing industry and all that it had to offer her career and the people that it housed.

Dervil is also the current board president for the New England Affordable Housing Management Agency (NEAHMA) and has served on the NEAHMA board in multiple roles during her 20 years in the industry.

“It’s a pleasure to welcome Kerry to our team,” said Melissa Fish-Crane, principal and COO of the Peabody Companies.  “She is an experienced senior property manager with a demonstrated history of excellence in the affordable housing industry.”
