Our Team

Armon Emdad is a seasoned real estate finance and investments executive who’s been a driving force in the manufactured housing (MHC) sector since 2017. At Compass, Armon is the brains behind building tools, systems and data products to better serve our stakeholders. Never shying away from a challenge, he’s always looking to identify areas of our business that can be optimized. He likes to challenge himself in his personal life, too, where you can often find him running trails, rock- or ice-climbing or dog-whispering his 7 year-old Doberman. When he does take a breather, he loves spending time with his kids, watching Premier League and chasing sunsets with his wife. 

With 17 years of experience in property accounting, Jerry has gone from mentee to mentor in the industry, building his knowledge of the commercial, multi-residential and manufactured housing (MHC) sectors at every step along the way. He’s heavily involved in the satisfaction of both our residents and our stakeholders, splitting his day-to-day between leading our accounting professionals and helping our operations team improve our communities. Equally as adept in the kitchen as he is in the office, Jerry once ran his own restaurant that was awarded the best pulled pork sandwiches in the city by a community newspaper. In addition to his love of cooking Jerry also enjoys talking about football, especially the Buffalo Bills.

Before joining the manufactured housing sector, Margaret worked across multiple industries including CPG, Financial Services, and Real Estate. She has a strong global background working for companies such as Orange Glo (makers of OxiClean), MoneyGram, and CLE International. Her skills in branding and customer experience have made her a real asset at Compass Communities, where she’s constantly finding ways to optimize internal and external processes. Her real passion, though, is fighting the global housing crisis and creating communities our residents can be proud of. Margaret never stops moving, spending her free time hiking, traveling, and riding her motorcycle. 

Melissa has 15 years of experience in the manufactured housing industry, specializing in operations leadership, process optimization and acquisitions. At Compass, Melissa injects her passion for fostering communities where families can thrive in everything she does. She’s been a key part of implementing first-class property management systems, focusing on policies that create value for investors while improving resident experience. Outside of work, Melissa enjoys hiking and spending time with her family and dogs. But whether you find her in the office, at home, or in the mountains, there iss one thing to be certain of: you’ll always find her with a smile on her face.
