Ashley Thompson


Housing & Facilities Manager

Ashley’s entire career has been centered around the Freedom Drive Corridor. With over 28 years of finance and real estate experience, Ashley got her Real Estate Broker’s license in 2018 to pursue her passion of helping others become homeowners. For 19 years, Ashley found joy working for Carolinas Telco FCU off Freedom Drive through helping others build their credit and get their first credit card, first car, or even their first home. Her transition to real estate landed her with MECA Realty where she was Broker in Charge, managing over 400 properties and helping implement the current student housing program at UNC-C. Ashley became familiar with Freedom Communities when the company was hired to manage some of their properties.

Ashley says her biggest accomplishment is her amazing daughter, Bella, who will be attending UNC-W to study nursing. When she is not at work, you can probably find her on a pool deck somewhere supporting her girl in her sport. With three rescues at home, the Cabarrus County Humane Society also holds a huge place in her heart.

Why Freedom Communities?

““I chose Freedom Communities simply because working with them so closely the past year has given me hope that we as a community can and will make a change. To be able to surround myself with people who believe in the same dreams, missions and purpose in life is more than most can ask for.”
