Introducing the Bilt Advisory Boards: Industry Leaders Unite to Make Housing More Rewarding

Nov 12, 2025

Today, we're unveiling the Bilt Advisory Boards: bringing together the most influential voices in multifamily and student housing to shape the future of housing and make Bilt membership even more valuable.

This powerhouse coalition includes more than 50 real estate executives from 30+ leading Bilt Alliance partners–including Greystar, Asset Living, Willow Bridge, RPM, Cushman and Wakefield, and more, all working to enhance how residents earn rewards, sign and renew leases, and connect with their neighborhoods. Together, they represent over 5 million homes and join a network of more than 45,000 merchants across the Bilt ecosystem, making this the most comprehensive resident loyalty platform in the country.

What This Means For Residents

The Bilt Advisory Boards represent a direct investment in making the renting experience even more rewarding. These industry leaders are actively shaping new ways for residents to earn Bilt Points, access enhanced Neighborhood Benefits™, and unlock value throughout the entire resident lifecycle — from move-in to renewal.

With their guidance, we're expanding the Bilt ecosystem to deliver more earning opportunities, exclusive resident perks, and seamless experiences that recognize and reward resident loyalty. Every enhancement they help create is designed with one goal: making sure residents get maximum value from where they live.

Three Boards, One Mission

The Advisory Boards unite leaders across three specialized councils, each focused on different aspects of the Bilt experience:

Executive Committee — Co-Chaired by Bilt Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer David Wyler and President of Housing Margette Hepfner, driving growth and new partnerships that expand where and how residents can not only use but maximize their membership

Innovation Council — Led by Mishay Kalan, SVP of Strategy & Growth, advancing payment technology and product features that make earning and redeeming points easier than ever

Resident Loyalty Club — Overseen by Molly Riesenberger, VP of Leasing & Loyalty, strengthening the resident experience through seamless experiences and personalized rewards that make residents feel valued where they live, driving lasting loyalty

Building the Future of Renting Together

These leaders represent properties across the country: from major multifamily portfolios to student housing communities, and they're united by a shared commitment to elevate the resident experience. Their real-world insights ensure every new feature, partnership, and benefit we introduce delivers measurable value to members throughout every corner of the Bilt ecosystem.

By joining forces with the biggest names in housing, we're not just improving individual features, we're establishing Bilt as the industry standard for how residents lease, pay, and earn rewards. To date, on average, property managers in the Bilt Alliance have seen up to 300% increase in early payments, up to 20% increase in early renewals, and up to 12% decrease in delinquency.

This is just the beginning of how we're working with property leaders nationwide to help residents love where they live.
