Property Management

Franchise offering training-based property management system

Overview

Property Management Inc. runs a franchise network that helps people start and run their own property management businesses. It provides a complete, turnkey system that teaches people—whether they have real estate experience or not—how to operate a property management company. The core offering includes training, operating procedures, marketing, and ongoing support so franchisees can manage associations, commercial properties, and residential properties under one umbrella. What sets the company apart is that it is the only franchise that provides a full, all-in-one system across all three property types (association, commercial, and residential), rather than focusing on just one niche. The goal is to give aspiring business owners a proven framework and support to own and operate a property management company and grow a nationwide network.

PMI Launches PMI HR Solutions, Powered by ADP and CareerPlug.

PMI Launches PMI HR Solutions, Powered by ADP and CareerPlug. By PMI - Wednesday, September 30, 2026 LEHI, UTAH - Property Management Inc. (PMI), a leading property management franchisor, today announced the launch of PMI HR Solutions, a comprehensive human resources solution designed to support PMI franchise owners through workforce planning, hiring, onboarding, payroll, and more. For growing businesses, managing human resources can quickly become complex. Hiring through one platform, managing payroll through another, and navigating separate processes in between can cost valuable time and create additional risk. PMI HR Solutions is designed to simplify that experience by providing franchise owners with proven tools and resources that work together throughout the employee lifecycle. PMI HR Solutions takes a three-pronged approach to meeting franchise partners' HR needs. PMI Franchise Business Consultants initially work with each franchise partner to create a workforce strategy that aligns with their overall business plan. CareerPlug then powers the hiring process, from sourcing candidates to making offers. Once a new team member joins, ADP manages the workforce through payroll, onboarding, benefits, and ongoing support. Together, these resources give PMI franchise partners a stronger HR foundation without requiring them to build disconnected systems on their own. "Managing human resources in a growing business can be daunting and overwhelming, especially when every state has its own laws to keep up with," said Marianne Heder, Executive Director of Operations at PMI. "PMI HR Solutions takes the guesswork out of hiring and workforce planning, so our partners spend less time on paperwork and more time building their businesses." PMI HR Solutions is now available to franchise owners across the PMI network, with negotiated pricing providing access to CareerPlug and ADP at a reduced rate. This launch reflects PMI's continued investment in systems, technology and partnerships that help independently owned franchise businesses operate more efficiently and scale with confidence. About Property Management Inc. (PMI) PMI is a leading property management franchisor with over 400 independently owned and operated locations across the United States.

PMI celebrates eleventh annual Summit in Nashville.

PMI celebrates eleventh annual Summit in Nashville. By PMI - Wednesday, September 23, 2026 NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - For the eleventh year in a row, Property Management Inc. (PMI) brought its franchise network together for an annual PMI Summit, held this year in Nashville. Franchise owners, Corporate team members, vendor partners, and other industry leaders gathered in Music City for three days of education, innovation, networking, and continued business growth. This year's theme, "Perform," challenged attendees to turn ideas into action and make the most of the systems, resources, relationships, and opportunities available to them as part of the PMI network. "Summit gives us an opportunity to bring this entire network together and remind ourselves what's possible when we work together," said Steve Hart, co-founder and CEO of PMI. "The energy in Nashville was incredible. Our franchise owners came ready to learn, share, celebrate each other's successes, and think bigger about where they can take their businesses next." Summit 2026 set the stage for introducing tools, resources, and initiatives designed to help franchise owners operate more effectively and continue raising the standard across the property management industry, from new technology and partnerships to programs focused on business performance and operational excellence. Just as importantly, Summit was an opportunity to celebrate the people behind that growth. Attendees connected with peers from across the country, exchanged ideas and best practices, strengthened relationships with PMI Corporate and industry partners, and recognized franchise owners reaching new milestones in their businesses. After eleven years, Summit continues to serve as one of PMI's most important opportunities to bring its growing network together around a shared purpose: opening doors to a better life. And PMI is already looking ahead with another Summit in the books; the network will come together again next September in Austin, Texas, ready to build on the energy of Nashville and drive into another year of growth.
