Brittany Rogers: Leasing Manager for Homecoming at Terra Vista

Brittany: I am the Leasing Manager at Homecoming Terra Vista. I have been with the company for 14 1/2 years and in this current location for 12 1/2 years. My job is very unique because I do the same thing every day but every day is so different. I meet with my team of Leasing Consultants each day to ensure they are being supported, developed, and inspired. We talk about the traffic we see through the internet, phone and in person and strategize different ways to secure more leases and lease renewals. I manage my own daily tasks of monitoring our property occupancy, rental rates and resident retention all while adapting to the new policy changes that have come our way since the pandemic has occurred.

Brittany: I got hired with Lewis Operating Corp in 2007 as a Leasing Consultant at the Homecoming Eastvale Apartments. I quickly learned the ropes and had such a passion for helping people find a home and was promoted to the Leasing Manager at the Carmel Apartments in Rancho Cucamonga. A year into my Leasing Manager position I was selected for Homecoming Terra Vista which was going into a Lease Up of 241 units and have been here ever since. In 2014 I got to be the Leasing Manager of The Enclave in Rancho Cucamonga during a Lease Up as well.

Brittany: I grew up in the Terra Vista Community of Rancho Cucamonga. My parents bought a Lewis Home in 1985 and I have always been a big proponent of the community, schools, and children’s programs in the area. I worked at 24 Hour Fitness throughout High School and College but knew that was not a place I wanted to build a career. After a brief stint at the LAPD Police Academy, I quickly learned that was not my passion either. Eager to get into the workforce an opportunity at Lewis presented itself and I could not have thought of a more fitting place for me to work. 14 ½ years later it has provided me and my family great opportunities and housing in a beautiful community.

Brittany: The thing that keeps me most busy outside of work is being a wife and mom of a 2 1/2 year little girl. I enjoy spending time with my brothers who live locally and exercising. One of my hobbies is planning events. I enjoy coming up with a theme and seeing it through until the vision comes to life. I plan events for my friends and family for fun and one day would love to have my own event planning business with my childhood best friend.

Brittany: My own wedding was the first set of events that really sparked my interest in the event world. From my own bridal shower, bachelorette party and wedding I realized how obsessive and excited I was about the execution and vision of all the small details. From their it spiraled into my friend’s events, my own baby shower and family parties. When I was in junior high and high school, I participated in ASB and realized that several things I learned then were easily applied the event planning process.

Brittany: One of my favorite moments with event planning was a bridal shower I threw for my best friend in Malibu. She wanted a Moroccan theme and when the event was executed it was breath taking. My best friend and all the guests were blown away by the beauty and attention detail. Being able to make such an important event so special to someone is truly such a great feeling, very much aligned with the feeling you get when you find someone the perfect place to live.
