It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Alana Mintz!!
I have had the privilege of working with Alana for several years. Since joining the Woodruff Property Management team in 2011 as the Property Manager of Creekside of Auburn, Alana has been a model, indeed an inspiration, in her service to the multifamily industry and our company.
What is most impressive about Alana’s record of accomplishment is that she has only been in the multifamily industry since 2006. In 10 short years, Alana has risen through the ranks in property management. Starting as a leasing manager, Alana has earned her way up to her current position as Area Director, Vice President & Alabama Real Estate Broker for the Woodruff Property Management Company. While title is of course not what makes a person successful, the way in which you earn new positions within a company is.
Alana is one of the most dedicated professionals I know. She handles every situation with grace, poise and maturity that extends far beyond her years. Alana is a true leader. She is organized, strong, determined and understanding. As an area director, Alana oversees over a thousand units, multiple property managers and staff members. She is also a broker, working to sell homes on one of our properties, while maintaining high occupancy levels across her entire portfolio.
If I had to narrow all of this down to one word to describe Alana Mintz, it would be “invaluable”.
Alana is more than an employee to our company and me, she is an irreplaceable asset. Property managers and staff look to her in times of stress or uncertainty. She provides a calm and cool demeanor in any situation, and attacks every challenge with a passion I wish I could clone and have in every single one of our employees.
As a Vice President of the Woodruff Property Management Company, Alana is always discovering innovative ways to increase occupancy levels, reduce delinquency and create a positive and fun work environment for all. I’m not sure when she sleeps, because she is just as dedicated in her home life as she is in her professional one. Alana is always reading, always researching and always eager to do all she can to ensure our company’s success.
Alana’s record of achievement and service to our company and this industry is overwhelming. I give my highest endorsement to Alana.
Bruce, President of Woodruff Development, develops single family residential homes, multifamily apartment complexes, shopping centers, office space, parks and play spaces. He creatively improves & redevelops multi-family communities and shopping centers. He’s great in the garden and envisioning anything and making it happen.
Bruce was born in Columbus in 1972 on May 7th— the same day as me!
Bruce gradually developed his confidence in his ability to design things.

His first job was to develop and manage Scarborough Farms. This job had a big influence on what he does now. Bruce redeveloped the homestead on the property, and it looks like it has been there for years! A true talent. The house, chapel, boathouse, garden, and barn had to be made to look authentic and old.

The landscaping that Bruce created at Scarborough Farms gave him the experience to become the President of Grow, a landscaping and design firm. He has a natural gift with landscaping and nature.
Bruce has a way or making things look like they have been there forever. His attention to detail is amazing.

When Bruce developed and renovated the Scarborough Farmhouse, Mrs. Scarborough wanted to fill her home with God’s grace. She and her family wrote scriptures on the framing of their new renovations. This was a perfect way to christen her home and toast to humble beginnings! Bruce loved the ideas that Mrs. Scarborough had and began learning about how to incorporate the developer and the customer to produce the best home. Building a house on the word of God is not only fulfilling but brings new beginnings! When buying, building, or renovating your dwelling, allow God’s blessings into your home by using scriptures.
The Lord can bless a home in many ways. This brings me to the website, Milk and Honey Collective. This site has many wonderful pieces of art that has stories of God’s faithfulness. Click here to find more about ways to do this in your home.

Bruce thinks it all started when we took a trip over MLK weekend in 2007, to Charleston, Daniel Island and Hilton Head, South Carolina and looked at developments, housing, and retail that Columbus didn’t yet have. Bruce at that time wasn’t very well traveled, but ever since he stays on the go! We get ideas everywhere we go and have fun while we are there!
Bills khakis– he says every pair you buy is the same. He loves the consistency, and since usually when you find something you love they quit making it, we buy extras!
Peter Millar shirts- these shirts fit his personality, laid back, full of color and style, and they fit great!
We love the Peter Millar freebies that come with every order!
Polo summer golf RLX wicking shirts- he works outside and they don’t show sweat. He doesn’t play golf but they’re perfect for his work outdoors!
Crest toothpaste! It’s just what he had growing up, so he loves it!
Colorful belts that are lightweight and don’t slip. He loves an alligator belt, too! The Bill’s buckles are too big, so we sent them back and made our own, press to order here! Shop Here!
Timex watch- $40. Most complimented purchase lately is to add a colorful Grosgrain Ribbon watch band. His favorite ribbon band is Hot pink and Lime green!
Most comfortable flip flops ever: we purchased Sanuks at Bombora in Rosemary Beach, and he walked all the way down south beach in the ocean with no blisters!
Costas lightweight sunglasses- if they break you can send them back. They have great customer service. His have been sent back twice and a brand new pair arrive a few days later!
I would be a wreck without his amazing talent and support on my team!
