The Digital Transformation of Apartment Listings with Marcia Bollinger

Multifamily Women® Podcast

On today's episode of the Multifamily Women® Podcast, Marcia Bollinger, Senior Vice President of Apartments.com, takes us on a captivating journey through her remarkable four-decade career in the multifamily housing industry. Marcia reveals how she accidentally discovered her passion for the field right out of college and played a pivotal role in shifting apartment listings from print to digital.
This episode explores the evolution of consumer behavior and how online information empowers potential renters to make more informed decisions. Marcia's story illustrates the dynamic changes in the industry and the continuous need to adapt to meet consumer demands.
We delve into the multifaceted paths to success within the multifamily industry, with a special focus on the importance of empowerment and community. Marcia and I discuss the unique challenges women face and the invaluable support that comes from a collaborative mindset, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We share personal experiences and emphasize how horizontal growth—gaining knowledge across various roles—can be just as fulfilling as vertical progression. This discussion underscores the importance of continuous learning, embracing change, and fostering a supportive network for women in multifamily leadership.
Marcia also gives us a sneak peek into the innovative developments at Apartments.com, including the integration of the build-to-rent space and Homes.com.
