STRAND IS LOOKING FOR AN ACCOUNTING ASSISTANT

Strand is seeking an individual who is passionate about real estate, has a strong drive to be a part of a growing organization and wants to be an instrumental part of creating a lasting legacy in the urban environments that we conduct our business.

WHO IS STRAND?
