Jim Foley - President / Partner
In the Fall of 2003 Jim began preliminary discussions with Tom Atchison, founder and CEO of National Corporate Housing, regarding the future growth and development of his business. The discussions included a conceptual plan involving the creation of three fully integrated companies designed to take advantage of the opportunities in the corporate housing industry. These three companies would capitalize on the benefits associated with operating a corporate housing program, supplying the furniture and house wares to the corporate housing customers and acquire and manage multi-family apartment communities. Jim accepted the challenge of creating the first new company, Apartment Outfitters, and began supplying furniture and house wares in the spring of 2004. After successfully starting Apartment Outfitters, Jim turned his focus to the third division of The Atchison Group and created National Realty Partners in 2005. National Realty Partners is a full service real estate company with an emphasis placed on acquiring and managing office, retail and multi-family properties.
In the spring of 2002, Jim received an unsolicited offer of employment from General Services Corporation, an owner/operator of over 10,000 apartment homes nationwide. Upon acceptance of this position, Jim became responsible for all aspects of property management operations within the multi-family property management division. He reported directly to the President on all aspects of operations concerning a portfolio of twenty one apartment communities. Functions included: creation of annual budgets, monitoring of expense control procedures, enforcement of operations policy and procedures, oversaw sales and marketing programs. Jim relinquished this position due to family concerns.
Jim joined Summit Properties, a South East based REIT, as a Regional Manager in 1995. This new position afforded Jim not only the opportunity to manage multiple Class “A” communities, but to also become involved in real estate development as it relates to the construction of Class “A” Multi-Family Housing communities. In 1998 Jim became Vice President of the Mid-Atlantic Region, overseeing approximately 5,500 apartment homes. He reported directly to the President on all aspects of operations concerning a portfolio of eighteen apartment communities. His responsibilities included; creation of annual budgets, monitoring of expense control procedures, implementation of sales and marketing programs, motivational training, and quality control. Directly oversaw the implementation of lease-up programs for new construction. During this time, Jim also volunteered as a mentor for students attending the Property Management School at Virginia Tech. in Blacksburg, Va.
In 1991, Jim accepted a position as a Regional Property Manager with Gates Hudson & Associates, an established Multi-Family Property Management Company operating in the metro Washington, D.C. area. His responsibilities included day to day operations of approximately 2,100 apartments within seven communities. The portfolio included all income classifications ranging from subsidized housing to Class “A” communities.
Jim joined the R & B Realty Group in 1986 as Leasing Manager of its 1,524 unit property, Oakwood Alexandria. Over the next four years Jim managed a succession of luxury apartment communities which included properties in Northern Virginia and Chicago, Il.
Jim attended The University of Hawaii, majoring in Travel Industry Management. His extensive travel experience as a young adult fed his desire to be associated with the hotel management industry. His first position was held at The Mayflower, a 4 star luxury hotel in the heart of the central business district of Washington, D.C. His responsibilities initially included front desk operations. Jim left the Mayflower Hotel, as the Front Office Manager, to pursue a career in the Real Estate Industry in the spring of 1986.
Kregg Anderson-Chief Financial Officer

Betsy Johns- Vice President / Controller / Partner
Betsy, one of the first female graduates of Holy Cross College, Worcester, MA, received dual degrees in Accounting and Economics. She began her financial career as one of the first female professional staff members in the audit division at Arthur Andersen & Co., moving from Massachusetts to Northern Virginia. She eventually transferred to the Consulting division, now known as Accenture, where she specialized in banking and hotel operations. She later moved to Coopers & Lybrand. It was during this tenure in the “Big 8” CPA firms, that she began her volunteer work with her own Unit Owners association. As happens so frequently, her fellow volunteers disappeared and she was faced with finding an alternative. In the early 80’s there were very few association management companies, and fewer yet who had strength in financial management, something she felt should be a priority for a Unit Owners association.
In 1981 Betsy decided to form her own company to specialize in the management of homeowner and condominium associations, with an emphasis on good financial management. She formed Assurance Management Services, Inc., known as “AMSi”, located in Herndon, Virginia. AMSi grew to be known in the profession as a company where auditors could train their new staff on how things should be done. Desiring to emphasize good service and long term client relationships, Betsy restricted the growth of the company, only selecting a couple of new clients each year. AMSi has maintained a client portfolio of around 36 communities comprised of residential and commercial associations, both condominium and HOA’s.
In late 2007 Betsy met a fellow management company owner, Jim Foley, President of NRP, who believes in the same principal of business- that it was far more important to be the best, not the largest.
On March 1, 2008, AMSi and NRP decided to join forces and Betsy now serves as the VP and Controller for NRP.
