Who Is Behind Loadbear

Preston Hedlund

Founder & Principal Systems Architect · Property Management Operations

When you hire Loadbear, you work directly with me. Not an account rep, and not a handoff. I came up on the finance and operations side of residential property management before founding Loadbear. I go into the live operation, read the actual leases and ledgers, find the process that quietly broke, and rebuild the operational machinery your software left to your staff.
