Darren Stone

Like many people, Darren’s migration to his current position started somewhere else altogether. “I sold fine art throughout the Western US for four years.” This is a good example of the entrepreneurial spirit that eventually brought him to his current position. He got his start at Jennings & Co. in 2006 when he took over as a Resident Manager, substituting for his pregnant wife while he was still at the U. of O. Next came a stint as a leasing agent in the front office. Before long, he got his license to do management agreements, took the initiative to bring in his first deal, and the rest is history. He currently splits his time between managing the portfolio at Westmoreland Village, and working as a broker. “I like the freedom to be able to go out and find deals.” He’s also glad to be working in the framework provided by Jennings & Co. “I really like it that we’re the best at what we do. It’s like being able to say we’re a Mercedes.”
