Focusing on the needs of the resident is a balancing act of creating valuable yet affordable homes while adhering to regulations, which Schochet has learned to master.
Ms. Henken says, “every little bit counts to make a community of quality” and Schochet is always seeking ways to improve the resident experience.

Schochet is a forward thinking player in the housing industry. One of the reason’s for the company’s long years of success is the close attention they’ve always paid to what is happening throughout the entire country, beyond the New England area. In their pursuit to deliver value, they created standard practices before they were labeled ‘regulations’, ultimately setting the standard for other property management companies to follow.
