Easy…
Stress reducing…
Everything I wanted…
My dream home…
It’s not unusual to hear our homeowners echo these sentiments again and again about their experience with their new Traditions of America home, and in all cases there is one group of individuals largely responsible for eliciting this happiness and satisfaction.
The Community Managers at Traditions of America manage every component of the construction of our award-winning 55+ lifestyle communities. These dedicated individuals are passionate about creating a positive home design experience. To them it’s not just a job, it’s an opportunity to help create dream homes for each and every individual who calls our communities home. They take pride in what they do and it’s reflected in the way they live out our mission to provide superior products and services.
We asked our Community Managers to share a little about themselves and what they enjoy most about their job and the people they serve, and here is what they had to say. Be sure to tune in next week as we introduce you to even more members of this group and share what makes them so vital to Traditions of America and why they truly make the process easy, stress reducing and a dream for so many.
Frank Cirrincione, Traditions of America at Silver Spring Community Manager
What makes the role of a Community Manager vital to the success of Traditions of America?
The Traditions of America Community Manager is the essential link between a customer’s dream of owning a brand new, custom home and making it a reality. We give guidance on home customization and help find solutions for unique needs and requests. The Community Manager supervises the entire Construction Team and vendors to ensure that all work hand-in-hand to deliver a high quality, low-maintenance home that new homeowners can be proud of for many years to come.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
Mostly I enjoy listening to our customers’ needs and desires and then making it a reality. I also enjoy seeing them after closing with their new friends and participating in all of the great activities the community offers.
What do you like to do when you aren’t working with new homeowners?
When I am not with my Traditions of America family, I am traveling across the Mid-Atlantic with my wife of 15 years and my two daughters to cheerleading competitions (pictured above). I’m a proud Cheer Dad and love to watch Lauren and Samantha compete!
Brian Lynn, Traditions of America at Bridle Path Community Manager
What makes the role of a Community Manager vital to the success of Traditions of America?
To me, the role of the Community Manager is critical in that it ties together the different parts of our team to give our customers a consistent, comfortable feeling from contract to beyond closing. It is a rewarding feeling to interact with customers at community events both before and after they have settled into their homes. The residents at Traditions of America at Bridle Path have a strong sense of community, and it is a privilege to be a part of their lives.
Our buyers put a lot of thought and planning into the design of their home. Many homeowners here at Bridle Path have tailored their home around their hobbies and activities. We have built rooms designated for activities from quilting and crafting, to baseball card collecting. We’ve built workshops, garages, gourmet kitchens, bars and theaters. It is always exciting to see these personal touches come to life.
What do you like to do when you aren’t working with new homeowners?
I am a Bethlehem native and actually grew up just a few miles from Traditions of America at Bridle Path. I have been building new homes, in many different roles, for 14 years since graduating from LaSalle University in Philadelphia. My wife, Missy, and I have three children (Avery, 11; Owen, 9; Nathan, 7) and spend much of our free time coaching youth sports.
Mike Palilonis, Traditions of America at Lititz Community Manager
What makes the role of a Community Manager vital to the success of Traditions of America?
The Traditions of America communities are based on a Community Management System, where the Community Manager, in effect, is the builder for a particular community. The benefit of this system is that you’re dealing with one senior level management person who is in charge of the designers, construction and virtually everything within the community. The advantage of this style of homebuilding management is that the community manager is on your job site almost every day running the job and coordinating with subcontractors to build your luxury dream home. The Community Manager is also in your home as it is being constructed, so they know it inside and out. If questions or concerns arise they are available seven days a week.
I enjoy being able to help turn our buyers dreams into a reality. Once it becomes a reality, the buyers truly start to understand our “Live Better Lifestyle” as they begin to branch out and meet new people within their community and participate in all the great planned activities.
What do you like to do when you aren’t working with new homeowners?
When I’m not working with my Traditions of America family, I’m hanging out with my beautiful wife and two young children. We love to travel and see different parts of the east coast. Being a proud parent, I love to give my kids the chance to see the great country they live in.
