Congrats to Laurie McEntyre on her Promotion!

 

Please join us in celebrating Laurie McEntyre’s promotion to Regional Manager! With more than 30 years of experience in the property management industry, Laurie brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and heart to her new role.

Laurie began her career in 1992 after graduating from USF, starting in the Tampa conventional market and working her way up through roles ranging from Leasing Consultant to Corporate Operations Manager. In 2008, after moving to North Georgia, she transitioned into the affordable housing sector, beginning with a 54-unit LIHTC community. What started as a culture shift quickly became a passion, as Laurie found deep fulfillment in helping hardworking families find homes they could be proud of. Her journey with Royal American began when she was hired to manage a senior community, and she later led a Chapman owned lease up in Kennesaw, GA. Now, the timing is right for her next chapter with Royal American as a Regional Manager.

Outside of work, Laurie’s favorite place on earth is home! She shares life with her husband, her loyal Goldendoodle Bridger, and a big, lively blended family that includes seven adult children, six grandchildren (with twins arriving in September!), and a great-grandson on the way.

We’re so excited to see all the great things you’ll accomplish in this next chapter, Laurie!
