Client Success Stories

A long-term partnership with Abbey Residential, in the words of its President, Frank Barefield.

Client Story

“I’ve known and worked with Michelle Childers for more than 20 years, and she has been one of my most trusted advisors in Abbey Residential’s growth. As our company evolved, Michelle helped us think through both the redevelopment of communities we acquired and the new communities we built from the ground up. Her perspective was always practical, grounded in decades of industry experience, and focused on what would serve our residents and our business over the long term.

Michelle has also kept us ahead of the curve on marketing. She brings us the latest trends and helps us keep our communities highly visible in a very competitive market. On the operations side, she guided us in standardizing our maintenance materials and supplies, which brought real consistency across our portfolio. When it came to national contract negotiations, her knowledge and relationships helped us secure meaningful savings.

What sets Michelle apart is that she treats your business like it’s her own. She’s honest, she’s connected, and she gets results. I’d recommend Multifamily Catalyst Group to any company looking for a true growth partner in this industry.”
