SUMMARY:
What if the most meaningful awards in your company had nothing to do with performance, profit, or KPIs?
In this episode of The Property Playbook, Rory sits down with Bryson Miles, Founder & President of NXT Property Management (Utah’s premier boutique multifamily management firm), to unpack the culture system behind NXT’s high-performance results—and why their most celebrated wins are rooted in personal touch, not metrics.
Bryson breaks down NXT’s core values—Serving You Like Family, Be Loving, Choose Wisely, Perform Together, Act Boldly, Express Gratitude, and Mind the Store—and shares real stories of how values-driven leadership impacts resident retention, team morale, and long-term asset performance.
You’ll hear:
If you’re building a property management team—or trying to scale one without watering down your values—this conversation is a blueprint.
