A Note from Brenda Barrett, CEO
Twenty-five years in this business teaches you a lot. Chief among them: rankings don't build themselves.
We’ve never chased the ranking, and in fact, just recently have taken a posture to become more involved in the important advocacy that NMHC does on behalf of our industry. But, when we saw where we landed, a Top Five company by portfolio size, it certainly gave us, and me, an opportunity to reflect.
My first thought wasn’t about market share or portfolio size, it was about the people who showed up every day to make it happen. So much of our story has, and will always be, how deeply we invest in the growth of our people; the onsite teams, regional teams, corporate support, VPs, SVPs, everyone who, working in concert to deliver results day in and day out for both our residents, and our clients.
That has always been our edge.
We’ve been intentional about this from the beginning. Whenever possible, we look to promote from within, and when we recruit, we look for people who are motivated by results. With that, we’ve built a bench that I’d be proud to put up against any competitor in the industry. When you manage 150,000+ units across 25+ states, consistency is driven by people who are deeply invested in outcomes.
That is AMC.
Our focus has always been consistent, too. We manage apartment communities: no development business, and no acquisition business. Delivering results for our clients and our residents is our only priority, and our team remains focused on those efforts.
The recognition as a Top 5 NMHC manager reflects all of those things; a team with clarity of purpose. We’re proud of it, but we’re not satisfied.
The other thing that doesn't change is our focus. AMC manages apartments. That's it. No development side. No ownership conflicts. Our clients' assets are our only priority, and our team knows exactly what they're here to do.
