History of Newby Management

Newby Management’s history in the manufactured housing industry began in 1965 when Martin Newby (founder of Newby Management) began selling manufactured homes on a retail dealer’s lot in Bradenton, Florida. In 1975 Newby Management was born, serving as a brokerage, syndication specialist, and management company for land lease manufactured home and RV communities.

From the start, the vision of Newby Management was established with a commitment to excellence and family values. Additional core values of trustworthiness, honesty, integrity, and the importance of relationships were standards of the daily operation. These, combined with a personal "hands on" approach, provided a solid platform on which the company would grow.

In 1985 Martin’s nephew Tim joined the team, forming the next piece in building the desired family business. In the late eighties, Martin made the decision to incorporate his Christian beliefs into the business. As a result, a statement of purpose was created: "Sharing the Love of Christ While Providing Unique Management Services in the Manufactured Housing Industry." This statement still serves as a yard stick by which Team Newby operations are measured. Other core values have since been added, like "teachable spirit", "servant hearts", and "families first". The people side of the business - team members, investors, and residents - became the primary focus of every decision made. A program entitled "Insight TRACK®" was started to survey the satisfaction of our resident customers involved in our business. This survey instrument ultimately was integrated in the National Manufactured Housing Association as their method of evaluating how other operators were serving their residents.

In the decade to follow, more important decisions were made. Another nephew, Todd, joined the team as a community manager and was eventually promoted to Regional Manager. Later, Tim was appointed as President when Martin entered the next phase in his life, and a corporate chaplaincy program was developed and implemented to meet the spiritual needs of the team and residents.

In the past ten years, Newby has diversified into the management of resident-owned communities. A third nephew, Randy, joined the team as the Information Technology Director, and Todd was elevated to Vice President and COO. Under his leadership, a comprehensive disaster preparedness and recovery program was developed entitled NEAT (Newby Emergency Action Team). NEAT helps communities and residents prepare for and recover from natural disasters and other emergencies.

Sales and marketing of communities and the homes within them has grown to new advanced levels with sophisticated lead management and internet marketing systems. An ever-improving department providing complete financial accounting is thorough enough to satisfy the most discriminating auditors.

The company has grown from the original three employees – Martin, a secretary, and an accountant - to today’s current payroll of over 250 team members. The portfolio has also grown to over 34 communities throughout Florida. The team and systems that Newby has developed over the past 34 years are diverse and well trained to add value to any community. As a "Fee Management" company exclusively in the manufactured housing industry, Newby is recognized in the industry as one of the top management firms in America. For the past 34 years, Newby has been located on the west coast of Florida and resides today on its own office campus in Ellenton, Florida.

". . . I have lived her 15 years and raised 4 kids. Regarding the management, I have seen several management companies since the community opened in 1981 and Newby Management has invested more into Tuskawilla during their first year than all the previous managers combined. This is a very quiet place to live and a great place to raise kids. My teenagers look forward to the weekly activities the community has to offer. . ."
