She grew up on construction sites in the Chicago suburbs — now she’s leading one of the most powerful vendor ops teams in the Single-Family Rental (SFR) industry.
In this episode of Between 2 Hats, we sit down with Stacy Lusader, Senior Manager of Vendor Experience at FirstKey Homes, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about leadership, hiring, and the human side of the SFR and real estate game.
From a legacy family construction business to a national role in Single-Family Rental operations, Stacy brings decades of insight and fire to an industry that’s changing fast.
We talk about:
💥 Contractors aren’t vendors — they’re partners.
💥 Leadership isn’t about control — it’s about trust.
💥 And if your team isn’t growing, you’re doing it wrong.
Whether you're in SFR, construction, vendor management, or just want to hear from a badass woman rewriting the rules — this real estate podcast is for you.
