Samantha Amato

Sam Amato, originally from Beaufort, SC, and raised in Summerfield, NC, grew up in a household led by two Marines who have enjoyed a successful entrepreneurial career in the apartment industry for over 25 years.

With a diverse background spanning leasing, renovations, lease-ups, budgeting, contract negotiations, outreach marketing, social media marketing, regional marketing, website development, analytics, content creation, strategic partnerships, advocacy, team building, mentorship, and leadership, Sam brings a wealth of expertise to every role she takes on.

Sam began her career in the apartment industry in 2014 as a Leasing Agent. She quickly advanced to Assistant Manager, Community Manager, and Regional Marketing Support before transitioning to the supplier/vendor side. Currently, she serves as the Strategic Partnerships Manager at Loebsack & Brownlee, PLLC, where she supports, collaborates, and partners with apartment associations and team members across four states.
Her leadership extends beyond her role, as she actively serves as Vice Chair of the AANC Next-Gen Committee, leads the AANC 20 on the Rise Taskforce, PTAA Suppliers Council Secretary, and PTAA Membassadors Vice Chair.

Sam’s contributions have been recognized within the firm, as the “Visionary” in 2023 and the “Sunshine” award in 2024, reflecting her inspirational, energetic, and people-focused approach.

When she’s not building lasting relationships and driving strategic initiatives, Sam enjoys spending time with her family and furry friends - soaking up the sun outdoors.
