The Power of Networking for Multifamily Executives

Networking is hard for executives.

For many, it’s not a lack of desire—it’s the lack of opportunities. Conferences are packed, loud, and overwhelming. The moments that should foster meaningful connections get swallowed by busy schedules and the sheer size of the crowd. For introverts, it’s even harder. And even for those who thrive in social settings, how often do you leave a conference with a truly valuable new relationship?

That’s why I’ve been creating smaller, more intentional networking events—ones that are designed to foster genuine connections.

Last week, I hosted an event in Dallas, and it was exactly what I envisioned. We had over 30 executives, mostly from management and ownership companies, gathered in a more personal setting. Lantower Residential graciously hosted us at one of their properties, and the team there was phenomenal. A single supplier sponsored the event, keeping the focus where it belongs: on the people and the conversations.

Here’s how it unfolded:

• We started with mixing, food, and wine—an easy way to ease into conversations.

• Everyone introduced themselves—a simple but powerful way to set the tone and make connections.

• We broke into smaller groups and toured the property. Walking and talking in smaller groups created space for deeper conversations.

• Before wrapping up, we gathered for a group photo—a memento of a great evening.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Executives shared how much they appreciated the intimate format and the meaningful connections they made. No noise, no distractions, just real conversations with peers who understand their world.

And this is just the beginning. There will be more events like this. If you’re interested in joining us or hosting one in your city, let me know.

Networking doesn’t have to be a chore. It can be intentional, enjoyable, and, most importantly, valuable.
