Amanda Blackmon

“As a vendor serving Invitation Homes, I have been able to experience the high performance teams Amanda has equipped and empowered to accomplish their mission in the Carolinas. Their level of professionalism, detail orientation and how they are so enjoyable to work with, speaks to Amanda’s elite leadership skills and abilities. It was not until I had the privilege of co-founding the North Carolina Rental Home Council with Amanda that I was exposed to her insatiable hunger for knowledge in all things leadership development, operational efficiencies, culture development, technological effectiveness, data analytics and organizational health. I’m used to seeing people desire new information, but witnessing Amanda’s disciplined application of the best of the best into her spheres of influence has been an education in and of itself. Her teams deliver results because they know at all times what winning looks like. Yet, more than hitting KPIs, you can tell her people are close to her. The deep friendships in her market are numerous and they are able to hold each other to the highest standards of accountability. It is a rare culture she has cultivated with her leadership team, one I have not seen done on the scale she does it considering how many employees she leads in the Carolinas. I have heard her caring for her employees and coaching them to greatness. Those tend to be either/or characteristics, but these blessed employees get to thrive in the best of both worlds. Amanda bleeds Invitation Homes green, but you ought to hear her goals and dreams to see the Single Family Rental industry as a whole deliver extraordinary resident experiences. Learning these key motivators has inspired me to ensure our processes, technology and people are focusing our efforts towards the same end. Her mentorship has definitely made us more valuable as a SFR vendor. To see her galvanize others, even her competitors, to accomplish objectives for the betterment of the industry is remarkable. If you ever have the privilege of working with or for Amanda, you will see she truly has a tenacious work ethic and operational leadership that is second to none. ”

“I have had the opportunity of working for Amanda for three years and they have truly been the best three years of my life personally and professionally. Your growth is her goal always. She supports you through the good and the bad and never gives up on you. You are empowered by her strength as a leader and her compassion to always “do good”. Just simply be a good human. She ensures that you are supported with all the resources necessary to soar within your current position as well as prepares you for any future growth within the company. I am truly blessed for such an amazing and diverse leader. ”
