Trisha Young, the Field Manager with Alliance Property Management, is excited to be back working with the Alliance and Onward team. She has previously been part of the Onward Real Estate Team as a Residential Specialist, leaving for about a year to work exclusively in interior design. She jumped at the chance to come back to the Alliance and Onward team to take on the newly established role of Field Manager.
This position allows Trisha to use her experience in real estate sales, residential renovation, and interior design. Holding this position gets her out in the field, which is a big plus for her! She helps people in our community find a good fit for their residential rental needs, works with contractors to ensure properties are ready for new tenants, and provides homeowners with staging consultations to enhance their prospects on the Real Estate market with the Onward Real Estate Residential Sales team.
Originally from New Mexico, Trisha Young has lived in Waco for about 29 years. She has also lived in Europe three times in her life and would love to go back. You can find an influence of the old west combined with rustic European in much of her creative projects, which she enjoys doing in her spare time. Trisha has two grown daughters and a stepson, who she is glad were raised in Waco. She says that Waco has definitely grown a lot since she moved here, but it still has a small-town feel, which was a good environment for raising a family. Her daughters, step-son, as well as other family members, still live in the central Texas area, so Trisha’s plan is also to stay close by for many years to come.
