Quinn Residences’ Colleen Yeager talks with MHN’s Denile Doyle about managing BTR communities that cater to residents’ lifestyles and preferences.
A key distinction between traditional multifamily and build-to-rent communities is the unique opportunity for residents to truly create a sense of “home.”
Welcome back to Management Diaries, MHN’s property management podcast, where we bring you new trends, innovative strategies and real-world insights from industry experts on everything from increasing NOI to creating vibrant communities.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Colleen Yeager, chief operating officer at Quinn Residences, a company that develops, owns, and operates BTR communities across the Southeast.
Yeager explains that what sets successful BTR communities apart is the freedom residents have to personalize their homes. These “homeownership extensions,” as she calls them, not only enhance the renter experience but also foster a sense of pride in their homes.
Yeager also provides a glimpse into Quinn Residences’ approach, highlighting the efficiencies her company has achieved in managing BTR communities.
Here are a few highlights from our conversation:
– How she bridges gaps between her teams to maintain seamless collaboration (6:31)
– The importance of fostering the relationship between residents and the maintenance team (8:16)
– Why a “good day-one experience” is key to increasing the resident life cycle (10:18)
– How she leads her team to resolve issues and make decisions (14:01)
