INSTRUCTOR: JASMINE VAN LEAR

Hello! My name is Jasmine Van Lear. With over 11 years of experience in the multifamily industry, I have had the opportunity to work on-site at both conventional and tax credit communities, as well as in sales roles for a landscaping and online advertisement company. I have found that I thrive in on-site positions, working closely with teams to achieve common goals. I currently work for Berger Communities as a Community Manager and have been with this company for the last 6 years. 

Throughout my career, I have pursued various designations and certifications, including the Certified Apartment Community Manager (CAM) and Certified Apartment Leadership Professional (CALP) certifications through the National Apartment Association (NAA), as well as the Accredited Resident Manager (ARM) designation through the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM). I have also had the opportunity to instruct a CAM and CALP course through the Pennsylvania Apartment Association (PAA).

My true passion is in training and educating individuals to help them grow into strong, confident, and knowledgeable leaders and professionals. I believe that advocating for oneself and others is essential in achieving success, and I make it a point to speak up when necessary. 

I must take a moment to shoutout the most influential and important person in my life, my mother, Diane Van Lear. To say I was “born into real estate” isn’t a far stretch. There is a picture of me in my baby carrier on my mother’s desk at her first property management job, nearly 30 years ago. Since then, she has continued to develop a well-known and respected reputation in the multifamily industry on the supplier partner side and has stood on many of PAA councils and supported this association. She is my mentor, biggest support, and best friend. 

A bit about my background, I am originally from Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, where I attended Perkiomen Valley High School and played on the varsity volleyball team for four years. I went on to play volleyball collegiately at Penn State Abington and have continued to be involved in the sport by coaching local travel teams and conducting skills clinics.

In my free time, I enjoy music and have a unique ability to memorize song lyrics word for word. I am excited to share that I will be getting married in November to my fiancé, whom I met six years ago at Berger. We currently reside in Ambler, Pennsylvania, with our two cats, Tsuande and Chorizo, who are my sweethearts and bring me so much joy. 

I look forward to meeting new and passionate individuals who are ready to learn and grow!
