James Babb to Resign as Chief Strategy Officer at Bluerock Homes Trust

Bluerock Homes Trust will see a change in leadership at the close of the year. James G. Babb III, the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, has announced he will step down from his role effective December 31, 2025.

Babb made the decision for personal reasons, and according to the company, his departure is not tied to any disagreements about financials, business operations, or internal policies. That point matters—it means Bluerock isn’t facing any internal disruption as it transitions leadership.

While the company hasn’t yet outlined a replacement plan or shared what comes next for the strategy function, the tone of the filing signals a deliberate and steady hand guiding the change. The current executive team, led by Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Christopher J. Vohs, remains in place to support continuity.

Bluerock operates as an emerging growth company and is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol BHM. Over the past few years, it’s focused on building out its residential real estate platform. This leadership transition is another step in its evolution as it adapts to shifting market conditions and investor priorities.

The resignation was formally submitted on September 29 and became public on October 3. The company is managing the change proactively, leaving space for a structured handoff before year-end.
