Background:

Jan Rose

Jan has over 25 years experience in banking and bank management, having served as a branch manager and bank vice president for Marine Midland (now HSBC), Citibank, Glendale Federal, and Cal-Fed (now Citibank) and serving on committees to format educational programs for management trainees.  Jan left banking after the family relocated to Boise in 2000 and she started a home based business, Star Financial Services, handling the financial, accounting and personal business transactions for a group of clients who are employed as professional athletes.  The fast paced life and extensive travel schedule of these individuals needed a business manager that had the experience, knowledge, personal involvement and flexibility to handle the requirements of their business and personal finances, relocation, and various new and ever changing responsibilities.  Jan had also gained valuable insight and experience having been elected President of the Morgan Hill, CA school board and Chamber of Commerce.  She worked to blend the needs of growth and residential developers with the cost of expanding community services.  She has also served as a board member of her HOA and for three years worked for one of the principal property management firms in the Treasure Valley handling the accounting and tax preparation responsibilities for the company and a neighborhood manager for 4 of their communities.  Experienced in the preparation and execution of operational budgets and financial reports.  When approached by her own HOA and asked to consider taking over their business administration, Star Property Management was born.  Over a relatively short period of time, Star Property Management has been invited to take over the management of 27 residential housing communities totaling over 2,500 properties. 

Ed Rose

Ed Rose was involved in manufacturing and business operations for over 25 years as a plant manager, general manager and Corporate Director of Safety and Environmental Issues for a national food manufacturer.  A corporate takeover by an off shore corporation and a subsequent corporate reorganization allowed Ed to start a career in real estate in 2001.  After a short time in general real estate, Ed's experience in management focused his interest in new home communities.  Desiring to gain the professional knowledge needed to develop new home communities and to work with developers, contractors and home builders to shape the housing future of the quickly developing Treasure Valley, Ed spent four years expanding his knowledge by enlisting in the educational programs offered through the National Association of Home Builders.  He has obtained a MIRM (Member, Institute of Residential Marketing) the most prestigious designation offered by the Institute.  Currently there are less than 600 individuals in the country, and only 8 in Idaho who have obtained this designation.  Ed is one of two individuals in Idaho to obtain the MCSP designation (Master Certified New Home Sales Professional) and also has achieved a CMP (Certified New Home Marketing Professional).  These designations mark completion of educational programs that focus on the successful planning, development, construction and marketing of residential housing developments.  He has acquired all necessary courses to apply for a broker's license should he desire.

Ed has 20 yrs. experience managing a production facility with over 250 employees.  Pump equipment and control systems knowledge has proven valuable in working with the required maintenance of pressurized irrigation systems.  He has years of proven experience developing operational budgets and handling monthly financial reporting, development of a capital project budget and first hand experience managing capital projects in a financially responsible manner.
