About The Arbella Properties Team

In 2011, when Founder Brenda Campbell set out to build a quality solution for her clients in the rental property business, she envisioned the need for a rental housing industry leader. A company that operated with the highest integrity and character while delivering world-class services to the residents, property owners, and investors it served. Brenda started her career in corporate accounting and later moved into real estate accounting. After leaving the corporate accounting platform she entered private practice in accounting, this endeavor led to a client portfolio that grew quickly. As an accountant for many investors of rental portfolios, she quickly noticed the need for quality management services and full transparency of all accounting, leasing, and maintenance practices to the owners of the investment portfolios. This is where Arbella Properties Inc was formed.

The name comes from John Winthrop’s ship named Arbella and its voyage to America in the year 1630. The ship was one of four ships and was the Admiral of the four ships. It was the flagship of the Winthrop fleet. Named after Lady Arabella Johnson. As they set sail they were heading for a new beginning. This named seemed very fitting for the company Brenda had envision and the path she was embarking on.

Brenda wanted the focus to be on the people to be served, genuine relationships, and shared values to create a unique and defining culture in the business of property management. It was a new start for her and the clients she would soon serve and the Arbella Team that would soon evolve.

Since conception, Arbella has worked to stay on top of the everchanging rental and investment market as well as always growing new best practices to serve the client’s needs. The Arbella team still operates today with a single common goal, to exceed the clients’ expectations and become their trusted partners.

By working with its clients Arbella and all the staff have been able to combine performance, transparency, and excellence in all its professional partnerships.

While already managing a few small Homeowner Associations, a great need for Association Management Services became apparent in late 2020. Brenda made the decision to expand her services further to meet the needs of this quickly growing and very short-supplied facet of property management. The division has grown quickly and and the team are currently managing 14 Community Associations that include Condominiums, PUDs (Planned Unit Developments) and Residential Home Communities.

In 2022, Arbella Properties Inc. welcomed a new partner, Jeff Orr, and expanded into Johnson City TN, embarking on an exciting chapter aimed at broadening service offerings for its clients. This partnership has facilitated steady and controlled growth, with the addition of new agents and multiple full-time staff to support operations. Brenda Campbell stepped down as managing broker, entrusting long-time Arbella Realtor Janie Barron and new team member Aaron Taylor to co-manage the two locations. Additionally, Arbella established a new office in Greeneville, TN, brokered by Becky Rideout. This expansion was designed to better serve clients in the Greeneville area and to create new opportunities for investors within this growing market.

Today, Arbella Properties Inc. operates locations in Johnson City, TN, Fall Branch, TN, and Greeneville, TN, maintaining a core focus on client relationships, shared values, and integrity-driven service. Through its people-first approach and unwavering commitment to doing things the right way, Arbella continues to cultivate a distinctive culture in property management, enriching the lives of those it serves.
