Eddie Robertson
Senior Account Manager, Redi Carpet

Having spent over two and a half decades mastering the art of sales, Eddie Robertson, a seasoned Senior Account Manager at Redi Carpet, firmly believes in the importance of understanding one's industry inside and out. He recognizes the significance of the service he provides through apartment flooring helps not just create units, but people’s homes. This awareness drives his commitment to providing not only quality products but also a level of respect and care of each home that resonates with both property managers and residents.

A graduate of the University of Virginia, Eddie’s career did not begin in the multifamily housing industry, but he got involved in AANC and the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association (GCAA) once joining the industry in 2015. Eddie recognizes that the association serves as a platform for sharing experiences, brainstorming solutions, and collectively moving the industry forward. He understands that innovation arises from these collaborative discussions and from staying attuned to industry trends.

Eddie currently serves on the AANC Board of Directors and the GCAA Board of Directors, and in addition to serving on several GCAA committees, he has previously served as a co-chair of the GCAA DEI Committee. Eddie is also a contributor to the AANC PAC, stating that it is important to give back and invest in the industry.

When asked about what is important to him when it comes to his association involvement, Eddie emphasized the significance of passing on knowledge and helping newcomers grow, which he views as crucial to the industry's future. His insights on the art of sales, the significance of building relationships, and the need to adapt and evolve, highlight his deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in this people-centric field.

Every year since starting with Redi Carpet in 2015, Eddie’s achievements have secured him a spot in the President’s Circle. Yet, in characterizing his approach to success, Eddie does not believe it is solely about financial or professional accomplishments, but also about the positive impacts he has on others. He defines his success by setting and meeting quantifiable goals, both personally and professionally, and contributing positively to his family, colleagues, and community.

When not working volunteering with AANC or GCAA, Eddie likes to spend time with his wife and two teenage daughters, as well as focus on some of his personal interests—cooking, golfing, and outdoor activities such as fishing and hunting.
