Real Property Management Grows As More Families Turn to Rental Homes

Leading Property Management Firm Adds Nearly 6,000 New Properties During First Half of 2014

SARASOTA — Real Property Management, the nation’s leading residential property management franchise, significantly increased its customer base in the first half of 2014 as American families continue to rent homes instead of purchasing.  Real Property Management of Sarasota & Manatee is their local field office serving: Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Ellenton, Parrish, Palmetto, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, Osprey, Nokomis, North Port, Punta Gorda, and Englewood, FL.

The company added 5,830 new properties nationwide through the second quarter this year, bringing the total assets under management to more than $7 billion. Real Property Management’s rapid growth has been primarily fueled by real estate investors, both large and small, who purchase single-family homes as rental investments. These property owners rely on Real Property Management to oversee the day-to-day management of their units.

“With families needing the space of a home, but either being unable to afford one, or unwilling to commit to a mortgage, there is ample opportunity for investors to make money in the rental industry,” said Real Property Management President Don Lawby.

According to John Michailidis, Broker, and Chief Relationship Officer of Real Property Management of Sarasota & Manatee, "We have many investor clients who are taking advantage of the strong Sarasota and Manatee county rental markets.  We have investors from Canada, the U.K., France, Holland, and also from across the U.S. who use our services to lease and manage their local investment property purchases."

Real Property Management is the leading property management franchise with more than 250 offices in 45 states. The company specializes in managing single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multiplexes and apartments. Its services include finding and screening tenants, completing lease agreements, collecting rent, maintaining buildings and grounds, arranging necessary repairs on a 24-hour basis, and processing evictions when necessary. Real Property Management also manages the legal compliance for both state and federal real estate law.
