Someone who should be added to REM’s list of The Difference Makers (June):
Hanna Ostrowiecki founded Leading Edge Software in 1989 and was the company president until 2009 when illness forced her to retire and move quick!Office Commander products to Emphasys Software. After a long battle with cancer, Hanna passed away in 2013.
Throughout her tenure at Leading Edge, Hanna’s goal was clear: help real estate brokers to recruit and retain the best professionals in the industry (either admin personnel or agents) by streamlining office operations. Hanna and her team continually evolved the suite of front and back office solutions. Under Hanna’s leadership and beyond, quick!Office Commander has always led the technology. Hanna touched the lives of thousands of real estate administrators, managers, brokers and agents by delivering innovative and integrated software for brokerages.
“Always under-promise and over-deliver,” Hanna would say. She continues to be our motivation as we keep her passion alive. She is deeply missed and will always be remembered.
