FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Empowering residents to shape their neighborhoods results in stronger retention, reduced turnover, and long-term value creation


Austin, TX – April 21, 2025 — GVA Real Estate Group is proud to highlight its strategic focus on community-led improvements across its portfolio of multifamily properties — an approach that continues to yield measurable returns through higher retention, stronger resident satisfaction, and greater community pride.

“At GVA, we understand that real estate is about more than buildings — it’s about people,” said Alan Stalcup, Principal of GVA Real Estate Group. “We’ve seen firsthand that when residents have a voice in the evolution of their communities, they take greater pride in where they live, and that benefits everyone involved.”

Community-led improvements are a cornerstone of GVA’s property management strategy. By creating opportunities for residents to contribute input — from amenity enhancements to shared space upgrades and event programming — GVA fosters a sense of ownership that transforms tenants into stakeholders.

Examples of this resident-focused approach include:

  • Amenity Polling – surveying residents before allocating funds for new amenities
  • Quarterly Feedback Initiatives – open channels for resident suggestions and concerns
  • Community Committees – resident-led groups helping shape programming and property priorities

These initiatives have led to clear benefits across GVA communities, including increased lease renewals, improved care of shared spaces, and a notable uptick in positive online reviews and referrals.

“Creating a welcoming environment isn’t just about design — it’s about dialogue,” said Stalcup. “Our teams are empowered to listen, adapt, and collaborate with residents to ensure each property doesn’t just feel like a place to live — it feels like home.”

As GVA continues to expand its footprint, its focus remains grounded in a people-first philosophy that prioritizes resident experience as a key performance driver.
