The criteria judges use to evaluate communities include, but not limited to, the following:

  • Landscaping/Grounds/Curb Appeal
  • Reception Area/Leasing Center
  • Building Interior; Building Health and Safety
  • Common Areas and Amenities
  • Resident Services
  • Resident Events and Activities

  • Resident Retention

Awards are given in four categories to help assure apples-to-apples comparisons. The award categories are

  • Market rate
  • Lease-up (properties less than a year old)
  • Affordable (Any tax credit/government assisted program)
  • Senior (55+ communities that are 75% senior, including those that are affordable)

Within the four categories, properties compete against those with comparable rents in the same state.

Congratulations to our 2022 PACE Award winners!

2022 NAHMA and George Spritzer Scholarship Awarded to Quantum Recipients

The National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) Educational Foundation, a non-profit organization, provides a scholarship grant each year. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide educational opportunities to residents of NAHMA communities. The nominees must be a resident in good standing at an AHMA/NAHMA affiliated apartment community and either be a high school senior with a minimum GPA of 2.5, a general equivalency diploma holder, or a matriculated student with a minimum GPA of 2.3 at an accredited college or trade/technical school.

This year, the $3500 NAHMA Scholarship and $1600 George Spreitzer Scholarship Boost, was awarded to three Quantum recipients:

  • Damani Maddox currently has a 3.74 HS GPA and will be attending Stevenson University as a freshman, majoring in nursing.
  • Damante’ Maddox currently has 2.97 GPA and is a senior at Bowie State University, with a major in Computer Science/ Cyber Security.
  • Joshua Puyat currently has a 3.02 GPA and is a sophomore at Northern Virginia Community College, majoring in Cyber Security.

“We are so proud of ourselves!” were the only words siblings Damante’ and Damani could let out through their beaming smiles. Joshua expressed his gratitude for the privilege of being chosen – “It means a lot to me coming from a low-income, single parent, family. I believe people should donate to the NAHMA Educational Foundation because it gives many students like me the opportunity to achieve their dreams, and I will forever be grateful.”

Special thank you to our staff and residents for nominating, and voting for, all of the student nominees, as well as to NAHMA for their generosity and continuing to make meaningful impacts.

Solidifying the Quantum Culture with Gregg Gregory, CSP

On Thursday, October 21, 2021, Quantum invited the founder of Teams Rock, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) Gregg Gregory back as a guest speaker for our Managers Meeting. With two decades in the residential real estate and mortgage banking industry, we anxiously anticipated his appearance. Gregg’s focus was on “Solidifying the Quantum Culture: One Team Moving in One Direction”.

Gregg provided Quantum employees with an immense amount of information to reflect upon. He asked questions that challenged everyone to think outside of the box as he simultaneously identified how the human brain can occasionally overthink things. Gregg encouraged everyone to step outside of their comfort zone and into their area of growth. During the meeting, Quantum employees were able to comfortably express what effective teamwork means to them, what the benefits are to being vulnerable at work, as well as what challenges they are faced with on their team.

Below is a list of 5 key takeaways from his presentation:

  1. Celebrate your failures the same as you celebrate your successes.
  2. Take pride in your job no matter what it is.
  3. It’s not how you get knocked down but how fast you get back up.
  4. Find motivators, intrinsic or extrinsic, still find them.
  5. Things are never as they seem so be willing to look at things differently and with an open mind.

Not only were we left in awe of the gems Gregg supplied, but we were also provided with resources and action-items that would further propel us into becoming better teammates and ultimately, better people. After all, “Knowledge is not power without application.” Thank you, Gregg, for providing us with resources we can use not just at work, but in our everyday lives.
