She will also lead the development of company-wide policies, standard operating procedures and best practices to boost efficiency and support growth.

“Stephanie’s arrival marks a key milestone in CORE’s evolution,” said Josh Soley, the firm's president and CEO. “As we expand our management services and investment platforms, her deep experience across real estate and organizational leadership will help build an even stronger foundation for the future. Stephanie brings both the expertise and the collaborative mindset that define CORE’s approach to business.”

Albert brings more than 15 years of experience across real estate, small business representation and corporate operations. 

She served as vice president of legal affairs at Preservation Management Inc., an affordable housing and property-management firm operating in 17 states. 

The Winthrop native received her undergraduate degree from Wheaton College in Massachusetts and her law degree from the University of Maine School of Law.

“From my first conversations with Josh and the team, I could see that CORE is building something extraordinary,” Albert said. “I was also interested in the prospect of getting back into the commercial real estate world and joining a company that is growing and innovating. CORE’s expansion is fueled by a spirit of collaboration and possibility — and my goal is to help strengthen the framework that supports that growth.”
