2023 Women in CRE: Dexlene Maxwell, Clean to the Max, LLC

Dexlene Maxwell
President
Clean to the Max, LLC

What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? Working with “Cleaning for a Reason” to provide voluntary cleaning for cancer patients has been the proudest accomplishment thus far. I first learned about this program when my mother was going through chemotherapy. Now that I can provide a service to those in a vulnerable position that cannot provide for themselves, like my mother once did, brings a sense of nostalgia as if I am servicing my mother those times I was not able to.

Why should this nominee be recognized in our Women in Commercial Real Estate Spotlight? “Dexlene exudes service in everything she does. She is driven by a deep relationship with her son and brings her best self to each site that is fortunate to have her team with humble excellence. Dexlene does not operate by others standards, hers is always the highest in the room. She is the epitome of performing with pride and superior service, no matter who is looking, she is always bringing her absolute standard of excellence. Any commercial client who hires her has secured an exemplary asset to elevate their portfolio.” - K.A. Stacie Alexiou, CEO, WATT + FLUX | Reverse Engineer Method.

What are the most important factors women in your industry should consider when choosing a firm to build their career with? Consider what will drive you each day to serve your clients with the highest standards of performance? Make sure you chose your clients and your projects based on how you will be a better professional in your personal and business life because of your commitment to showing up for those who rely on you in each area of your life. By choosing to work with commercial and public agencies I am proud to, I bring my best self to their properties and they recognize our team leadership by trusting us with their high profile spaces.

Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? My son Joshua inspires me most because, regardless of what the mood is, he always remains humble and is quick to forgive and not dwell.

Building an empire of trusted relationships: The vision and impact of IREON - by Steven Kirschner

After spending decades investing time and money without a justifiable return, I wanted to create a business development organization consisting of friends who did not compete in business.
