Why would we sell our successful, growing property management company?

In this special episode of the Property Management Business Podcast, the microphone gets turned around as Kit Garren interviews Marc Cunningham about Grace Property Management's recent sale to Associa and Rhome Property Management.

After announcing the sale earlier this year, Marc received countless questions from industry peers: Was the company struggling? Was he burned out? Was this an exit strategy? In this candid conversation, Marc shares the real story behind the decision.

You'll hear how Grace Management evolved from a family business founded in 1978 to one of Denver's most respected property management companies, why the company began exploring acquisition opportunities while business was thriving, and how concepts like risk management, succession planning, team stability, and long-term vision ultimately influenced the decision.

Whether you have 100 doors or 10,000, this episode offers valuable insights into viewing your business as an asset, thinking strategically about the future, and making decisions that serve both your team and your legacy.

What's actually happening in the housing market right now and how should property managers respond?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with housing market expert Ivy Zelman of Zelman & Associates to unpack the macro housing trends shaping the future of property management. Ivy shares why today's market is more segmented than ever, how overbuilding in Sunbelt markets is impacting rents and occupancy, and why affordability (not inventory) is the real issue facing housing today.

Marc and Ivy also dive into the growing disconnect between renewal rents and market rents, why occupancy matters more than price in the current environment, and what property managers should be telling owner clients right now.

This conversation is packed with insights on build-to-rent communities, investor behavior, reluctant landlords, concessions, demographics, and what property managers should expect over the next several years in both the rental and for-sale housing markets.

If you want to better understand the "why" behind today's market conditions and how to communicate those realities to owners this episode is essential listening.

What are the things you already know about your property management business but keep ignoring?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham and Dave Borden of Rentvine break down six hard truths every property manager faces, from declining rental demand to rising owner expectations. The difference isn't awareness; it's action.

This conversation challenges the "it is what it is" mindset and reframes common industry problems into opportunities for growth. From handling slower rental markets and protecting revenue when rents drop, to navigating demanding clients and setting business boundaries, Marc and Dave walk through practical strategies you can implement immediately.

They also dive into one of the most important skills in property management; how to make problems go away and why that mindset can transform your relationships with tenants, owners, and your team.

If you've been feeling stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed, this episode will push you to rethink how you approach the challenges you already know exist.
