Bonaventure, an operator-led multifamily real estate investment management firm focused on multifamily communities, today revealed the appointment of Michelle Moore as Head of National Accounts as well as the promotion of Kerry Peoples to Head of Capital Markets.
Together, the additions reflect Bonaventure’s continued investment in expanding its capital markets platform and deepening relationships across the independent broker-dealer (IBD), registered investment advisor (RIA) and institutional channels.
In her role as Head of National Accounts, Moore will lead Bonaventure’s distribution strategy across the IBD and RIA channels, overseeing strategic platform partnerships, due diligence engagement and relationship management for the firm’s real estate investment offerings. Based in Nashville, Moore will report to Peoples and will work closely with the company’s executive and capital markets teams to expand the Bonaventure’s national reach.
Peoples, who was recently promoted from Senior Vice President of Capital Markets, now leads Bonaventure’s broader capital formation strategy and oversees investor and advisor relationships across the firm’s distribution network. Based in Orange County, he manages a six-person team, including external wholesalers and internal wholesalers to further support the company’s continued growth initiatives.
Moore brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services. She has deep expertise in national accounts, capital formation and alternative investment distribution. Throughout her career, she has developed long-standing relationships across the IBD and RIA landscape and played a key role in driving more than $4 billion in sales through strategic distribution initiatives and platform partnerships. Before joining Bonaventure, she held leadership roles at firms including SmartStop Asset Management, SC Distributors and Steadfast Companies.
Moore added that advisors and investors continue to prioritize income-generating investment strategies, especially as many clients navigate retirement planning and seek opportunities that are stable and inflation-conscious within private real estate.
Peoples brings more than 25 years of experience across capital markets and alternative investments. Before working at Bonaventure, he spent much of his career at Sealy & Company, where he held senior capital markets roles focused on investor engagement and real estate investment strategy.

The leadership expansion comes as Bonaventure continues to grow its capital markets capabilities and strengthen engagement with advisors, due diligence professionals and institutional partners nationwide. The firm has also recently increased its participation in key industry conferences, advisor forums and due diligence events as it broadens awareness of its multifamily investment platform and differentiated market strategy.
