The Pivotal CompaniesFounder and CEO ◆ Student and Multifamily Housing Consultant ◆ Stabilize and Fix Assets
Sep. 2018Braselton, Georgia, United StatesAfter spending the majority of my career as the fixer in a variety of student, multifamily, military and conventional housing management companies, I decided to build a company that could provide the attention clients want from a boutique agency with the results they expect from a full-service one. The Pivotal Companies houses our three divisions: Student Housing Expert, Space Invaders Marketing and Social Theory, Inc. With a team that has acquired a collective 99+ years’ experience either onsite or in multiple corporate positions under industry leaders such as Peak Campus and Coastal Ridge Real Estate, The Pivotal Companies is able to hit the ground running to partner with clients in strategizing the best path forward for stabilization and growth. Key accomplishments include: ■ Turned assets from 60% occupancy to 95% plus within six months of asset management ■ Secured leases in the southeastern market that surpassed the rest of the market by 8.2% through strategic operational and marketing actions ■ Grew to a nationwide resource serving 158 markets and over 250 clients and growing ■ Developed a client base including industry leaders such as Peak Campus, and Campus Advantage ■ Honored as one of the Top 10 Businesses in 2020 by New York Weekly Services we offer include: ● Talent Deployment ● Digital Marketing | Email Lists ● Guerilla | Tactical Marketing ● Due Diligence | Audits ● Promotional Items ● Management Services ● Virtual Assistance ● Recruiting ● Influencers ● Training Services I like to think our success reflects not only the service we provide but also the way in which we provide it. A high I on the DISC assessment, I emphasize building relationships and collaborating with others to get things done. When brought in to help an asset, we consider ourselves an extension of the team on the ground and lean into problem-solving, firing on all cylinders to develop out-of-the-box solutions that move the asset forward in a positive direction.
