Multifamily Leadership Announces Finalists for the 2024 Best Places to Work Multifamily®
Scottsdale, AZ (October 20, 2023) – The national finalists for the official Best Places to Work Multifamily® will be honored during the upcoming Multifamily Innovation® Summit on December 5-6, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona.
At the Summit, each company will learn how they ranked nationally amongst the other participants and will be recognized on stage for their incredible achievement.
68 of the finalists are Multifamily Management/Owners. 26 of those finalists were ranked in the 1- 4,999 units category. 31 were ranked in the 5,000 – 19,999 units category and 11 were ranked in the 20,000+ units category.
As a separate category, 20 Multifamily Suppliers/Vendor finalists will learn how they rank nationally.
And finally, 60 of the finalists will find out how they rank on the Best Places to Work Multifamily® for Women list.
In its 9th year, the Best Places to Work Multifamily® program continues to fulfill its mission to advance leadership and innovation for multifamily professionals by recognizing those organizations who own, manage, and support apartment communities nationwide and who are making an impact in the world through employee engagement.
“This is our opportunity to showcase the hard work, loyalty, and dedication of everyone who helps make the multifamily industry what it is today. We love recognizing the people within these incredible companies every year and showcasing what they’re doing in order to receive this honored distinction within the multifamily industry. These are the best of the best building healthy organizations from the ground up,” stated Carrie Antrim, CO-Founder of Multifamily Women®.
Patrick Antrim, CEO of Multifamily Leadership explained, “Next generation leaders want to know their company is making a positive impact in the world. Companies have been measuring resident satisfaction for years and the leading indicator for organizational success is the link between employee engagement and the resident experience. Employees are presented with hundreds of opportunities each day to be their best, but it’s the behavior that drives a successful organization, not satisfaction or size. The Best Places to Work Multifamily® companies have stepped up to play that role and will have a much bigger voice in the future.”
The national research and benchmarking program demonstrates the industry’s focus on people, while illustrating its overall potential— as it annually contributes more than 3.4 trillion-dollars to the U.S. economy and supports more than 17.5 million jobs.
Leaders who are looking to drive their teams forward are encouraged to register and attend the upcoming Multifamily Innovation® Summit on December 5-6, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona, regardless if they’re participating in the Best Places to Work Multifamily® Program. Attending the summit is a golden opportunity for Multifamily Owners & Operators striving for efficiency, profitability, and healthy organizational culture, especially in the face of formidable financial challenges.
Attendees will hear an opening keynote on day 2 from David White, the former Microsoft Director of People and Organizational Capability. David has demonstrated a unique ability to intertwine technology, AI, leadership, and innovation into corporate culture. His work at Microsoft has revolutionized people management and leadership development on a global scale, impacting 100,000 individuals worldwide.

The Importance of Due Diligence for Apartment Building Owners and Operators
As an owner or operator of an apartment building, there are many important factors to consider when evaluating a potential acquisition. One often overlooked area is the property’s risk of storm damage and the importance of understanding its insurance claims history. This is where due diligence comes in, and why it’s crucial to have experts on your side.
Many buyers focus solely on the financials of a potential acquisition, but neglect to investigate the property’s insurance claims history. This can be a costly mistake, as storm damage can result in significant expenses that can eat into profits. However, by thoroughly examining the multifamily property’s claims history, owners and operators can identify unreported or uncovered claims that can provide the funds needed for capital improvements.
This is where having experts in your corner, such as our client WeatherShield, can be invaluable. These experts can help owners and operators navigate the complex world of insurance claims, ensuring that all claims are properly reported and that the maximum amount of funds are recovered.
“You would never want to go into an insurance claim on a high-dollar value property without an expert that understands damage identification. Someone who understands the insurance processes, the estimating, the evaluation, and how to handle large-scale commercial projects,” says Founder of WeatherShield, Marc Ness.
In addition to the potential for hidden capital improvement dollars, owners and operators need to be aware of the risk of storm damage to their property. This is especially important in areas prone to hurricanes, tornadoes, or other severe weather events. Understanding the property’s risk of storm damage and taking steps to mitigate that risk, such as reinforcing the building’s envelope or installing storm shutters, can help prevent damage and ensure that the property remains safe for its residents.
In the event that damage does occur, having experts on your side can be crucial in ensuring that the insurance claims process goes smoothly. This can be a complex and time-consuming process, but with the help of experts, owners and operators can recover the funds needed to make necessary repairs and improvements.
Due diligence is a critical part of the acquisition process for apartment building owners and operators. Understanding the property’s risk of storm damage and thoroughly examining its insurance claims history can help identify hidden capital improvement dollars and prevent costly surprises down the road. Additionally, having experts on your side can ensure that the insurance claims process goes smoothly, providing the funds needed to make necessary repairs and improvements. By prioritizing due diligence and partnering with experts, owners and operators can make informed decisions and protect their investments.

January 2, 2023 - Scottsdale, AZ -- Patrick Antrim, Founder and CEO of Multifamily Leadership and Chairman of the Multifamily Innovation® Advisory Council, has been selected to attend CES 2023 as an industry analyst.

Media Days, which is open exclusively to CES media, gives access to press conferences and a preview of the products launching at CES® 2023.

According to CES, “Kicking off major tech announcements, Media Days gives registered media access to news-breaking press conferences and CES Unveiled Las Vegas, a first-hand preview of the products launching at CES 2023.”
The multifamily industry plays a significant role in the US economy, with apartments and their residents contributing $3.4 trillion annually and supporting 17.5 million jobs. With growing demand for apartments, the industry must continue to innovate and find new development approaches to meet this demand.
Antrim will bring the information and insights he gains at CES back to the Multifamily Innovation® Advisory Council, a private, invitation-only group that meets weekly to discuss real-world experiences with using technology in multifamily communities. Council members are free from vendor influences and sales pitches, allowing them to openly think through challenges and find solutions for their operations. The council also meets in person annually at the Multifamily Innovation® Summit.
