“Phil’s skills and experience are exceptional,” said Robert C. Kettler, KETTLER’S founder and CEO. “To find someone who combines those skills with an in-depth knowledge of real estate, an entrepreneurial spirit and an empathetic nature is extraordinary.”

Redmond, who lives in Bethesda, joined KETTLER on Jan. 22.

Prior to entering the multifamily market, Smith worked in Public Television for 10 years in broadcast operations and station relations for Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in Alexandria, Va., WETA-TV, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin Public Television, Madison, Wis.

“Daryl is joining us at an exciting and crucial time of growth. It is vital to have someone with his capabilities and range of experience to make sure that the message we present to the world reflects the quality of our properties and our commitment to innovation,” Kettler said.
