In the picturesque landscape of Troy, Alabama, nestled within the secluded beauty, lies a thriving community brought to life by the unwavering dedication of one remarkable individual: Shaniqua Adams. As the Community Manager of Hunters Mountain, Shaniqua and her team have embarked on a journey to transform their community into a vibrant haven for families and individuals alike.
When Shaniqua first arrived at Hunters Mountain in June of 2023, she was met with a challenge: the community was only 53% occupied, with numerous vacant homes awaiting occupants. Undeterred by the task, Shaniqua and her team devised a plan to fill these homes and breathe new life into the community.
Born and raised in Dothan, Alabama, Shaniqua's roots run deep in the community she now serves. With a positive outlook and a natural inclination towards helping others, Shaniqua sees her role as more than just a job—it's a calling. Drawing from her own experiences, including the miraculous birth of her daughter Aaliyah, Shaniqua understands the power of resilience and the importance of offering a guiding light to those in need.
With a focus on treating every potential resident as a family, Shaniqua and her team use a personalized approach to leasing, ensuring that each individual finds the perfect match for their needs and preferences. They identify the ideal fit by asking the right questions and conducting pre-screenings, resulting in a remarkable success rate.
The results speak for themselves: in January of 2024, 15 homes were filled, followed by 21 in February, and more in March—a record pace of occupancy growth. To reach 90% occupancy by the end of 2024, Hunters Mountain is well on its way to becoming the premier destination for living in Troy. “We are busy, we have maintenance team members helping with letting people in to see homes while we are touring and helping with people filling out applications in the office. We are busy but loving every minute of it.” This is a perfect example of one of Roots Management Group's core values: Overcoming and Deliver- facing monumental challenges head-on with grit.
So, what's the secret behind their success? According to Shaniqua, it all comes down to mindset. By fostering a culture of positivity and unwavering belief in their vision, Shaniqua and her team have created an environment where excellence thrives. They go above and beyond, knowing that their community is the best in town—and their dedication is evident in every aspect of their work. “Because my team believes in me, and I believe in them and we all believe in the vision, it just works”
As Hunters Mountain continues to flourish under Shaniqua's leadership, her story inspires communities everywhere. Through resilience, determination, and a commitment to excellence, Shaniqua Adams proves that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
A community is not just built—it's nurtured, guided, and transformed into something extraordinary, thanks to Shaniqua Adams and her dedicated team.
