The Largest Property Management Companies

For the last few years, I’ve published a self-reported list of the 20 Largest Residential Property Management Companies in the U.S.

This page is the permanent home for that list.

  • You’ll always find the most current yearly rankings here, along with past years for comparison.

  • The list is for SFR + small multifamily (under 100 units). No HOAs, no big MF, no mixed portfolios.

  • Built to show what real scale looks like and how top operators structure teams, tech, and systems.

My goal is to expand this list to the Largest 50+ PM Companies in the U.S. - and with enough data, create a top-10 list for each state. But I need your help!

Why This List Matters

In an industry this fragmented, it’s hard to know what “big” really means.

  • Is 1,000 doors considered large? (Depends.)

  • Is departmental better than portfolio? (Also depends.)

  • Which software should you use? (Ask 5 PMs, get 5 answers.)

But benchmarking against the best is a smart way to pressure-test your own growth goals. Whether you’re managing 200 doors or 2,000, there’s value in seeing who’s leading the pack, and how they’re doing it.

Methodology

  • Only 3rd-party managed doors are counted.

  • Figures are self-reported

  • Data is updated annually.

  • Covers only SFR + small multifamily.

What Counts as “Large” in Residential Property Management?

In the world of institutional multifamily, 5,000 doors barely moves the needle. But for SFR and small multi-focused PMs, that number puts you in rare air. Here’s why:

  • SFR portfolios are operationally complex — scattered locations, varied owners, different local laws.

  • Smaller buildings mean more owners — and more owner comms, more portals, more churn.

  • Margins are tighter — so systems and scale matter even more.

Translation: building a 5,000+ door portfolio in this niche takes serious execution. This list recognizes that.

Final Thought

Whether you’re on this list, gunning for it, or just trying to tame your inbox, remember: scale isn’t just about size. It’s about building a business you actually enjoy running.
