Each year, we recognize the properties that exemplify what Royal American Management is all about: strong performance, resident satisfaction, and teams that show up every day with pride and purpose. This year, we made a change to how nominees are selected.

Rather than choosing one nominee per region, this year’s nominees were determined entirely by performance metrics. To be considered, a property had to meet all of the following criteria:

  • Physical occupancy averaging 96% or above for the year
  • Net Operating Income exceeding the prior year and annual budget expectations
  • Delinquency rate below 5%
  • Positive cash flow

These standards set a high bar, and not every region produced a nominee this year. That is not a reflection of the hard work happening across our portfolio. It simply means that this year’s honorees rose to an exceptional level across every measure we track.

The POY nominees represent excellence across financial performance, compliance, resident experience, and team leadership. We are proud to introduce this year’s three nominees: Biscayne Court, Ingram Terrace, and Paradise Point!

The dedication and consistency these teams have demonstrated throughout the year is something to be celebrated. Congratulations to the staff at each of these properties for their commitment to delivering excellence day in and day out.

Stay tuned. A Property of the Year winner will be announced soon!

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our colleague and friend, Mike Mullahey, a Maintenance Supervisor who served multiple properties in the Brooksville area. Mike passed away on April 17, 2026. He was 68 years old.

Mike was, above all, a hard worker. Throughout his career, he was known for his dedication, his willingness to go wherever he was needed, and his patience in helping others learn. Dave Kennedy noted that Mike was a true team player who was always willing to travel and step in whenever called upon.

His coworker and Community Manager, Amber Rodgers-Plants, reflected on the kind of person Mike was both on and off the clock:

“Mike Mullahey was an amazing person, friend, and co-worker. Mike was super smart and a dedicated and hard worker. I would call him and he would take the time and patience to walk me through. The residents, his co-workers, and myself truly cared for him and he for them. He taught me so much and I could never thank him enough. Mike is going to be missed so much.”

Michael Scenna, Maintenance Supervisor at Ridgeview, also shared these words:

“Although I only knew him for a year, he made an impression that is going to last a lifetime.”

Outside of work, Mike was a devoted husband of 37 years to his wife, Eileen, a loving father to Meagan and Timothy, and a proud grandfather to Cameron, Faith, Gavin, Cassidy, and Caitlyn. He was also fortunate to meet his great-granddaughter, Lyric, before his passing.

Those who knew Mike knew he had a big personality and even bigger loyalties. He was a die-hard Yankees fan whose memorabilia collection was legendary, and a Jets fan through every season. He was a lover of Oldies music, classic films, particularly The Warriors, which he could practically recite word for word, and sports trivia that he could rattle off with remarkable depth and enthusiasm.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Mike’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside him. His warmth, his work ethic, and his memorable personality will not be forgotten.

The Panama City team gathered at Dave & Buster’s to celebrate their Annual Achievement Awards, leaning into this year’s “Level Up!” theme with lots of energy and excitement. It was a great opportunity to recognize the accomplishments, growth, and dedication that continue to push the team forward. Between celebrating top performers and spending quality time together, the event was full of well-earned recognition, connection, and fun moments.

Cheers to this year’s award winners. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!
