Apartment Finder, the #1 multifamily resource for active apartment shoppers, augments its senior sales management team with the promotions of two well-regarded seasoned executives, Michael Peterson and Michael Follis, to vice presidents of the Central/Northeast and South Central U.S. regions, respectively. Having each spent the last twelve years at Apartment Finder, Peterson and Follis were most recently regional directors who were instrumental in expanding the brand to more markets within their geographical purview.
Michael Peterson, Vice President, Central/Northeast, will use his 20 years of multifamily experience to take lead responsibility for 17 markets in eight states in the New England, Mid-Atlantic and Central U.S. regions. Peterson’s tenure with Apartment Finder began in 2003 as publisher in St. Louis, a start-up market. He was promoted to regional director in 2005 where he and his team have built a strong presence in central and northeastern U.S. Peterson is a graduate of Benedictine College.
In his new role as Vice President, South Central, Michael Follis brings over 16 years of multifamily industry experience. He will oversee the sales and fields operation in seven Apartment Finder markets across Texas and Georgia. These markets include Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Midland, and San Antonio. Follis joined Apartment Finder in 2003, moving up the ranks to regional director where he managed the hiring, training, and fiduciary responsibilities for the Texas and Georgia markets. Follis is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Peterson and Follis over the last 20+ years,” said Marcia Bollinger, Apartment Finder’s President. “Their field knowledge and team loyalty continue to be impressive and have given Apartment Finder a strong foundation to build upon. Passionate and dedicated, they each make a significant difference every day in their team’s local market’s progress. I am proud of them and excited for our future growth with their contributions.”
