In celebrating Women's History Month, we are spotlighting the amazing women at Paradigm Properties of Ohio. First up is Megan Ellingson. "Women’s History Month is about celebrating progress, resilience, and the incredible women who inspire us. I’m proud to be part of this journey and to work alongside so many strong, talented women. Starting my adult life maintaining a 4.0 GPA in college, I was determined to build a career I could be proud of. Along the way, I’ve been incredibly lucky to have great personal mentors who have shaped and supported me, helping me navigate challenges and grow stronger as a professional. As a property manager, I’ve faced obstacles, learned valuable lessons, and carved out a path that reflects both my hard work and the guidance I’ve received. Women’s History Month is a time to reflect on these journeys—not just my own, but those of the women who have come before me and those who will come after. I stand on the shoulders of incredible women, and I hope to help pave the way for the next generation." - Megan Ellingson

Staying Informed & Engaged in Westerville’s Growth Our Sr. Property Manager, Megan Ellingson, recently attended a CREW Columbus - Commercial Real Estate Women event focused on the economic development of Westerville, OH.

Honoring Black History Month: Pioneers Who Paved the Way At Paradigm Properties of Ohio, we take this month to celebrate the achievements and resilience of Black leaders who have broken barriers and shaped industries—including real estate. One such trailblazer is Bernard Garrett Sr., a visionary entrepreneur who defied segregation-era barriers in the 1950s and 1960s to build a real estate and banking empire. Unable to purchase properties openly due to racial discrimination, Garrett strategically worked with white business partners to acquire banks and real estate holdings that helped provide financial opportunities for Black families. His legacy is a testament to perseverance, innovation, and the pursuit of not just equality, but equity—ensuring that historically underserved communities had access to ownership and financial freedom. At Paradigm, we believe in being proud and loud about the importance of equity and opportunity in real estate and beyond. This Black History Month, we honor the pioneers who have made a lasting impact—not just in February, but every day.
