Behind The Build With Brandy Poole

Meet Brandy Poole, the dedicated Community Manager at The Townhomes at Chapel Watch Village in Chapel Hill, NC. With over a decade of experience in property management, Brandy has cultivated a deep passion for building strong, vibrant communities. Her journey from a curious college student to a seasoned professional is a testament to her commitment and love for the multifamily industry. At Chapel Watch Village, Brandy’s enthusiasm and dedication shine through in every interaction, making her an invaluable asset to the community she serves. 

From College Curiosity to Career Passion 

My journey into property management began during my college years. I lived onsite at a property managed by my aunt, who was the VP. I often found myself in the business center, finishing up schoolwork in the evenings. It was there that I observed the property manager and leasing consultant working tirelessly with community members to address various issues and concerns. The blend of excitement, chaos, and resolution happening simultaneously intrigued me. The dynamic environment and the team’s collaborative efforts seemed like so much fun, and I wanted to experience it firsthand. 

Needing a weekend job, I reached out to a staffing agency and started working as a leasing consultant. This role allowed me to balance work with my school schedule. After nearly a year with the staffing agency and completing my Associates degree, I applied for a full-time leasing consultant position at a property management company. This marked the beginning of my career in property management, which will be 12 years strong as of July 2025. 

A Day in the Life at Chapel Watch Village 

In property management, no two days are the same. I always wear my Fitbit to track the numerous steps I take throughout the day, whether I’m running around the property, walking through vacant units, or handling unexpected tasks. Some days, my steps exceed 10,000, while other days, I find myself glued to my chair. Each day brings new challenges and exciting opportunities, making the job incredibly gratifying. 

The Joy of Community Connections 

The most rewarding aspect of my job is the community members. Being part of an amazing community and a team that helps build a strong foundation is incredibly fulfilling. Whether it’s addressing maintenance requests or answering lease renewal questions, I always strive to give 100% to the community. My door is always open, and I take pride in being a reliable resource for the residents. 

Building Bonds and Trust 

Engaging with the community is a top priority for me. I make it a point to connect with residents, whether it’s through a quick chat while passing each other on the property or greeting them when they visit the office. Participating in resident events is another great way to engage with the community. I’m particularly fond of children, and they know they can always find treats in my office after school. Building a thriving community and fostering strong bonds with residents is a unique and rewarding aspect of my job. 

One of my most memorable experiences was at a property that had been neglected by the previous leadership team. The community was in disarray, with residents distrusting the new staff, poor landscaping, and over 100 pending work orders. My leasing agent and I organized a meet-and-greet event to introduce ourselves to the community. Although the first event wasn’t a huge success, we hosted another one with police cars and fire trucks for the kids, which drew a larger crowd. We shared our goals for improving the property, and gradually, the community began to trust us. After nearly a year of addressing maintenance requests, improving the landscaping, and listening to residents’ needs, we built a strong bond with the community. The gratitude and warmth shown by the residents were incredibly touching, and the staff continues to thrive there today. 

Essential Skills for Success 

Attention to detail, strong listening skills, and a passion for the multifamily industry are essential for a property manager. You’ll encounter various personalities, so being humble and using excellent customer service skills are crucial for success. While there are many other important skills, these are a great starting point. 

The Rewards of Working at Chapel Watch Village 

I love being a part of the residents’ journeys, whether they’re attending college, advancing in their careers, or preparing to buy a home. Knowing that I play a role in their lives is incredibly rewarding, even though it can be bittersweet at times. 

Advice for Aspiring Property Managers 

Be prepared to work hard. The property management industry, especially in multifamily housing, is fast-paced, particularly during the spring and summer months. Having an “all-in” attitude and being proactive are key to success. Understanding the real estate market, developing essential skills, and gaining industry experience are crucial for growth. Each day offers new learning opportunities that help strengthen your abilities in this field. 

Balancing Work and Personal Life 

In my limited free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and our pup, Lexi. I also make sure to get my steps in if I didn’t reach my goal at work. Additionally, I study the real estate market and take online courses to further my career in property management. 

Final Thoughts on Chapel Watch Village 

Being part of the NWR family and the Chapel Watch Village team has been incredibly rewarding. The leadership team and my extended teammates have been very supportive. The opportunity to grow with the company and the community is something I deeply value. With a strong onsite team and amazing community members, Chapel Watch Village will always be a special place to call home. 

Chapel Watch Village has a natural charm that draws you in. The vibrant community and dedicated staff create a welcoming environment that makes it easy to fall in love with the place. I am grateful for the support I’ve received, which has allowed me to grow significantly over the past 21 months.

Several of NWR’s communities are designed and built to meet rigorous standards for energy efficiency, water conservation, and resource management. To reflect our commitment to sustainable living, many of our communities, including the Preserve at Westfields and The Lucent at Sunrise, are National Green Building Standard (NGBS) certified.

Behind The Build with Gordon Flack

Gordon Flack, the Community Manager at Townhomes at Bridlestone and Elm in South Charlotte, has a unique journey that led him to property management. With a background in hospitality and a passion for both people and analytics, Gordon has found his niche in creating a welcoming and efficient community for residents. His story is one of adaptability, dedication, and a genuine love for his work. 

From Hospitality to Property Management: A Career Inspired by Fate 

My work experience was primarily rooted in hospitality, where I was encouraged to apply for a concierge job with Northwood Ravin. I enjoy working with people, but I also love the analytical part of property management and gravitated towards that side over the years. 

A Day in the Life at Townhomes at Bridlestone 

I like to start with a pulse check with my team, identify opportunities from yesterday, and set goals for today. Then I do a site walk – Bridlestone is a gorgeous community, and this part of the day invigorates me for the rest. After that, no day is typical, but I know my team is ready for any challenge! 

The Rewards of Impacting Residents’ Lives 

Making an impact with our residents’ homes is incredibly rewarding. Rent is typically someone’s biggest monthly expense, and ensuring the resident experience exceeds the value they pay is a priority for me. 

Engaging with the Community at Bridlestone 

We’re a very pet-friendly community, and I love seeing residents walking their dogs around the community and starting a conversation with them. Our office is inside the clubhouse, so we get a chance to check in when people come for their morning coffee or for a resident event. 

Memorable Experiences and Success Stories 

I love being able to help many of our residents relocate from all across the country and feel at home here. Whether it’s families moving cross-country or professionals starting their careers in Charlotte, I’ve had the opportunity to make their transition an easy one. Seeing their excitement and relief when they realize they’ve found the right home is incredibly rewarding. 

Essential Skills for Property Management Success 

Adaptability is essential. Every day is different, and you need to be able to handle a litany of personalities, expectations, and responsibilities. 

The Friendly Atmosphere at Townhomes at Bridlestone 

I love the friendly atmosphere. It’s rewarding to build relationships with residents and help them find a home that truly fits their lifestyle. Plus, the outdoor spaces encourage people to connect, and being part of that positive environment is something I value. 

Building Strong Relationships in Property Management 

Make sure you know how to build strong relationships. In a world that is getting inundated with AI, the human connection is something that can’t be overstated in property management. Connecting with people, understanding their needs, and creating a positive experience is an unmatched expertise in this industry. 

Preparing for a Role in Property Management 

I’d recommend a solid base in customer service or hospitality as you are interacting with all different types of people every day. Learning time management and organizational skills is also key since you’re balancing multiple tasks at once. 

Personal Interests: Crosswords and Traveling 

I love doing crosswords and traveling. My goal is to have a crossword published in the NYT in the next year! I usually end up traveling all through the southeast because I like to stay warm. 

The Growth of the Ballantyne Area 

One thing I’d like to add is how special it is to be a part of the growth in the Ballantyne area. Not just at Bridlestone, but also with the new Ballantyne Townhomes at Elm Lane. Being a part of the development along with new businesses, restaurants, and entertainment options is something special. 

What Makes Townhomes at Bridlestone Special 

Being a Northwood Ravin Signature Community, Bridlestone shines in its details. The townhomes offer beautiful, functional spaces that truly feel like home. The residents and the team contribute to such a positive environment. Being a part of the growing community has been such a fulfilling experience.

Northwood Ravin Achieves Top National Rankings in Multifamily Development and Construction

Northwood Ravin, a leading multi-family development, construction, and property management firm, has achieved remarkable national recognition. The National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) has ranked Northwood Ravin as the 10th largest developer and the 12th largest builder in the United States for 2025.

The NMHC, headquartered in Washington, DC, serves as a forum for leadership in the multi-family rental industry, fostering thriving and inclusive communities. This recognition marks a significant milestone for Northwood Ravin, which has consistently ranked among the top 25 developers and contractors nationwide. The 2025 ranking represents the largest leap of any company in the development category.

David Ravin, President and CEO of Northwood Ravin, attributes this success to strategic positioning during market slowdowns. “We were strategically positioned to take advantage of the market slowdown, just like we did in 2020. Being able to start projects when most others cannot allows us to deliver new communities in a future supply-constrained cycle,” said Ravin. “It has been a very busy couple of years, but we are excited to be developing some very innovative projects that should be opening at just the right time.”

Strategic Positioning and Market Insights

Northwood Ravin’s ability to navigate market fluctuations has been a key factor in its success. By strategically positioning itself during market slowdowns, the company has been able to initiate projects when many others are unable to do so. This approach not only ensures a steady pipeline of new developments but also allows Northwood Ravin to deliver new communities in a future supply-constrained cycle. This foresight and adaptability have been instrumental in achieving the significant leap in rankings.

Innovative Projects and Future Developments

The past few years have been exceptionally busy for Northwood Ravin, with the company developing several innovative projects. These projects are designed to meet the evolving needs of residents and are expected to open at just the right time to address future housing demands. Northwood Ravin’s commitment to innovation and quality is evident in the design and construction of these new communities, which aim to provide luxury living experiences while fostering inclusive and thriving neighborhoods.

Discovering My True Calling 

What inspired me to pursue a career in property management? It all started during my college years. Initially, I was majoring in Psychology with a keen interest in industrial-organizational studies. However, everything changed during my junior year when I took a Property Management course on a whim. That course completely altered my career path. I fell in love with the diversity of the industry and the incredible program and professors at Virginia Tech. 

Reflecting on my journey, I realize that my passion for home design and architecture was always present. Growing up, I was glued to HGTV, fascinated by beautiful spaces and the creativity behind them. This passion is why Northwood Ravin feels like the perfect fit for me. With its luxury designs and thoughtfully curated amenities, it allows me to combine my love for real estate with creativity and community building. 

A Day in the Life at VCW: Expect the Unexpected 

What does a typical day look like for me at The Village at Commonwealth (VCW)? The truth is, there’s no such thing as a “typical” day, and that’s exactly what I love about it! Each day brings something new, whether I’m diving into financials and administrative work, walking the property for inspections, or giving tours to prospective residents. The variety keeps me on my toes and makes every day exciting. No matter what I’m working on, my goal is always the same—creating an exceptional living experience for our residents! 

The Joy of Community: Challenges and Rewards 

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is seeing how much our residents truly love The Village at Commonwealth. It’s incredible to have such a strong sense of community, from long-time residents who have been here since the beginning to our Village volleyball league that brings everyone together. Watching the hard work of both our current and past teams pay off in the form of happy, engaged residents makes every effort worthwhile. Knowing that we’ve helped create a place people are proud to call home is what makes this job so fulfilling! 

Building Bonds: Engaging with the VCW Community 

One of the best ways I connect with our residents is through our incredible community events! A huge shoutout to our new Community Manager, Christa, who has brought fresh energy and creativity to our event planning. Thanks to her, our resident events are only getting bigger and better! From social gatherings to fun activities, these events help foster a true sense of community, making The Village at Commonwealth feel like home for everyone. 

One of the most defining moments in my role here was the transition from our sister community, The Townhomes at Bridlestone, a 108-unit property, to The Village at Commonwealth, an 826-unit community. At first, I was nervous about the leap—going from a smaller, close-knit property to a much larger and more dynamic environment was a big change. But thanks to the support of an incredible team and the true sense of community that makes The Village so special, I quickly found my footing. Now, I can’t imagine being anywhere else! This experience reinforced how important teamwork and community are in making a place feel like home. 

Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Success in Property Management 

One of the most important skills I believe is essential in my role—and in property management in general—is emotional intelligence. While my background in Psychology may influence my perspective, I truly believe emotional intelligence is a cornerstone of effective property management. This skill enables us to connect with residents on a deeper level and provide the kind of service that helps make their living experience feel truly personal and valued. It’s something I’m grateful for every day, especially because, as property managers, we’re responsible for one of the most important aspects of people’s lives: their homes. 

Words of Wisdom: Advice for Aspiring Property Managers 

My best advice for anyone starting out in property management is to gain experience in leasing. My time in leasing during college was invaluable—it gave me a well-rounded understanding of the property itself and, more importantly, the diverse range of residents you’ll encounter. The lessons you learn early on often provide the foundation for larger decisions down the road. The more you understand your residents’ needs and perspectives, the more effectively you’ll navigate management responsibilities later on. 

Preparation starts with education! I always joke that I read the policy manual for fun—but in all seriousness, understanding the details of the policies and procedures is crucial when you’re handling the administrative side of property management. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys learning, then dive into your training with enthusiasm! I still use tools like PowerPoints and Quizlets to stay on top of everything here at VCW, and those small habits help me stay sharp in an ever-evolving industry. 

Balancing Act: Personal Interests and Well-being 

In my downtime, I love reading, traveling, and spending time outdoors with my family and friends. I believe strongly in the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It’s essential for me to take time to decompress after a busy week and focus on my personal well-being. Whether it’s unwinding with a good book or enjoying quality moments in nature, these activities help me recharge and stay balanced both personally and professionally. 

Why VCW is More Than Just a Workplace 

VCW is truly a unique place to work, and that’s largely due to the incredible people and the genuine sense of community we’ve built. From the residents who love where they live to the passionate and supportive team I work alongside every day, there’s a true feeling of camaraderie and shared purpose. We’re not just focused on maintaining a property; we’re building a community where everyone feels welcomed and valued. The leadership here encourages growth, creativity, and innovation, making it an environment where you can truly thrive. The sense of belonging and collaboration makes VCW not just a workplace, but a place where you feel proud to contribute and be part of something special.
