About Us

My name is Tim Rash, and I am proud to serve as the President and CEO of CREC Property Management, bringing over 40 years of experience in the real estate industry. Since I began my career in 1983, I have built a successful reputation in the Charleston Tri-County area by delivering exceptional real estate services. In 1995, I managed Century 21 Southern Homes and later founded Century 21 Properties Plus in 1997, which quickly became one of the leading real estate companies in the region before I sold it in 2013.

At CREC Property Management, I currently oversee our growth strategy, focusing on implementing new services and enhancing existing ones to keep us at the forefront of the industry. My leadership is centered on the overall development and expansion of our operations. I am also an active member of the National Association of Property Managers, reflecting my commitment to the profession and ongoing professional development. My dedication to innovation and excellence continues to propel the success of CREC Property Management.

My name is Christen McConnell, and I serve as the Director of Business Development at CREC Property Management. In this role, I work closely with prospective owners to expand our management portfolio and provide tailored property management solutions. Coming from a family deeply rooted in construction, development, and real estate, I have been selling residential and commercial properties since 2005, earning top-producing sales awards throughout my career.

Since 2007, I have also specialized in property management, where I developed innovative strategies to keep properties profitable, even during the 2007-2008 market downturn. After relocating to Charleston in 2020, I joined CREC PM the following year.

I have been happily married for 22 years and am a proud mom of a 21-year-old College of Charleston graduate. Along with managing my own portfolio of investment properties, I am passionate about cooking, gardening, and caring for animals. With a commitment to excellence, I strive to provide outstanding service to our clients and tenants, ensuring their needs are met with professionalism and care.

My name is Latoya Robinson, and I am the Business and Maintenance Manager at CREC Property Management. With over eight years of experience at CREC, I have honed my skills in both accounting and maintenance operations. Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, I transitioned to property management after a successful career in proprietary education, where I held various roles, including Financial Aid Officer, Business Office Manager, and Director of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs.

As a dedicated manager, I am passionate about ensuring efficient operations and providing exceptional service to our clients. I am also a proud mother of two wonderful children, aged 25 and 18. In my spare time, I enjoy watching baking shows, spending quality time with friends and family, and exploring new travel destinations.

Hello! My name is McKenna McConnell, and I am proud to serve as a Property Manager with CREC, where I work closely with our team to provide seamless service and results for both property owners and tenants. I bring a strong foundation of professionalism and care from my years in the hospitality and tourism industry, where I learned the value of clear communication, detailed portfolio management, creative problem-solving, and leadership. Transitioning into property management and real estate was a natural next step in my career and has allowed me to blend my passion for helping others with my drive to achieve measurable results. I believe that every interaction is an opportunity to build trust and foster lasting relationships, and I strive to make the property management experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for everyone involved.

Although I am not originally from Charleston, the Lowcountry has felt like home since I was a small child. The charm of its historic streets, the warmth of its community, and the beauty of its rivers and marshes inspired me long before I ever moved here, and relocating permanently in 2021 was a dream realized. I take great pride in connecting people to this remarkable area and in ensuring that their experience here is as meaningful and welcoming as Charleston has always been to me.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my fiancé, our spirited Boykin Spaniel, Cooper, and our sweet calico cat, Coco – they keep life exciting! You can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes or baking something special to share with friends and family. I also enjoy exploring Charleston’s historic sites, visiting our favorite local restaurants, and relaxing by the Cooper River with good company.

My name is Mark Facklam. I serve as the Field Services and Property Compliance Coordinator at CREC Property Management. I’m also a Realtor with a career that spans over three decades. In this role, I’ve had the privilege of assisting friends, family, and neighbors in achieving homeownership. It’s incredibly fulfilling to support them as they begin the next exciting chapters of their lives. Through clear communication, identifying needs, and advising clients in this ever-changing business, I’ve been fortunate to find great success.

A year ago, I decided to diversify my career by becoming a Property Inspector at CREC. I’ve truly enjoyed this addition to my experience and now serve as the Field Services and Property Compliance Coordinator. In this role, I help property owners gain peace of mind by ensuring their properties are well cared for and maintained, while also supporting tenants with any concerns.

Prior to this, I served in the United States Air Force as a plumber in the 564th Civil Engineering Squadron. That experience allowed me to learn electrical, sheet metal, and carpentry work, while also handling housing repairs and emergency calls. Later, as a civilian, I became a GS government employee working for the USAF as a Facility Manager in Guam. In that position, I oversaw multiple dormitories for service members, inspected housing, and supervised operations to ensure facilities were maintained and running smoothly and efficiently.

Charleston has been my home for over 25 years. Originally from the Adirondacks, I enjoy hiking, biking, and kayaking. I’m also a proud father of two grown children and a very confident little dachshund.

Hi, I’m GB, Business Development & Operations Support Specialist at CREC Property Management. I’ve spent several years supporting real estate teams behind the scenes—work I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. In my role, I serve as Christen’s right hand, providing direct support across operations and business development to help drive efficiency, growth, and exceptional client service.

I focus on supporting Christen day-to-day by assisting with onboarding new clients, managing communications, and ensuring internal processes run seamlessly. I’m highly detail-oriented and bring a thoughtful, personal approach to every interaction, with the goal of making things easier for our team and delivering a smooth, positive experience for our clients.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, heading out for a weekend drive, or unwinding at the beach.

At CREC, I keep the gears turning behind the scenes by supporting our Property Managers with renewals and lease agreements, onboarding new owners and properties, and tackling projects that make our day-to-day operations run smoothly. I love that my role lets me lean into my strengths—organization and attention to detail—while knowing I’m helping create a seamless experience for both owners and tenants.

Before joining CREC, I worked as a Guest Experience Specialist at a short-term rental company, where I honed my knack for customer service and problem-solving. Prior to that, I spent more than two years as a government secretary, building a strong foundation in administration, communication, and keeping all the moving parts in order.

Outside of work, you can usually find me writing, catching up on some much-needed rest, or playing musical instruments—my favorite creative outlet.

I’ve been a Realtor since 2017, proudly helping clients buy, sell, and invest across the Lowcountry, the Grand Strand, and beyond. People often ask why I do business all over the state, and I like to joke that living on Edisto Island means by the time I hit Highway 17, I’m already halfway to everywhere!

In addition to real estate sales, I thrive on the fast-paced, ever-changing world of Property Management. No two days are the same—and that’s exactly what I love about it. From solving challenges to guiding tenants into homeownership, I find joy in creating smooth experiences and building lasting relationships.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me enjoying the laid-back coastal lifestyle, exploring hidden gems around the Lowcountry, or spending time with family and friends. Real estate isn’t just my career—it’s my passion, and I feel privileged to help people find their place here in South Carolina.

At CREC, I support the Property Management team by handling lease renewals, move-ins, move-outs, and providing day-to-day support to our Property Managers. I genuinely enjoy property management work—it doesn’t feel like work to me because I love what I do. I’m here to support tenants, property owners, and the CREC team, ensuring smooth and positive experiences for everyone involved.

Before joining CREC, I worked as a Property Management Assistant for four years, where I gained hands-on experience across all functions of property management. Through this experience, I developed a strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a proactive approach to resolving concerns. I take pride in being organized, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to support the team.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the mountains or by the beach, chasing sunsets. I love the calming breeze of the sea—it’s where I relax most, especially while sipping black coffee and playing the guitar or ukulele.
