Industry veteran to become part of executive leadership team
overseeing Property Management, Asset Management, and Operations
divisions
INDIANAPOLIS, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Buckingham Companies, a fully integrated
real estate investment firm, managing a portfolio of more than
$3 billion in real estate for its own
account and institutional partners, today announced the promotion
of Kristie Arnst to Executive Vice
President.
She is a thoughtful, people-first leader
who maintains a pointed focus on the interests of our residents,
our associates, and our clients.
Arnst is a multifamily veteran with experience in all facets of
real estate investment including investor relations, asset
management, property management, marketing and sales. She joined
Buckingham Companies in September of 2020 and most recently served
as senior vice president. In her new role, Arnst will lead the
further development of Buckingham's leadership team, the vertical
integration of its portfolio, and the company's continued growth
alongside its institutional real estate investors and third-party
clients.
"Kristie is a proven industry professional who has been an
invaluable asset to our organization over the past three-plus
years," said Bradley B. Chambers,
Buckingham President and Chief
Executive Officer. "She is a thoughtful, people-first leader who
maintains a pointed focus on the interests of our residents, our
associates, and our clients. We're looking forward to continuing to
grow our property management division under Kristie's guidance and
further establishing Buckingham as a top tier operator of
multifamily assets nationwide."
Before joining Buckingham, Arnst served as president of Pepper
Pike Capital. She was also president of RESSCO and director of
multifamily management at The Hayman Company, with additional
career stops at McKinley Inc. and Levalon Properties.
Arnst believes Buckingham represents a refreshing approach to
property management at a time when consolidation is consuming the
industry.
"Our value is in our real estate, not the margins of our
property management company," Arnst said. "We invest in resources
for our properties to be well-supported with boots on the ground,
which is vastly different from large third-party managers. I have
never worked with so many brilliant, driven professionals, who are
also perpetual learners. It's inspiring to be surrounded by so many
people who share my desire to grow in an environment where
everyone, regardless of their position in the company, offers
ideas, solutions, and works as a team. We are a real estate
investment company, but we are truly in the people business."
Arnst also was recently appointed as the first female member of
the Buckingham executive leadership team. In the wake of Arnst's
promotion, Justin Few was promoted
internally and will oversee Property Management and Buckingham's
portfolio of nearly 15,000 multifamily units.
Buckingham Companies has more than 400 employees across nine
states. For more information, visit Buckingham.com.
