Come grow with us and learn a phenomenal new career that still offers almost all of the best benefits of a sales career, with few of the drawbacks like uneven income, etc. The reason we have been able to outperform such deep-resourced competition is because we're different, we do things differently, and customers can sense that.

Most of the weak hands are leaving rental investment and we see a golden age ahead for savvy investors.

Our company is focused on, and exceptional at finding value and quality. With our model, you'll avoid most of the biggest negatives of dealing with renters due to our superior properties and credit standards In time we'll lay the groundwork to offer most operational services so you can focus on customers and new business Our long-term company goal is a public stock offering, or employee/contractor buyout, so there's more to MoveZen than just housing. The Industry: Rental housing is a major force in today's economy and will only grow more important over the coming years. Unlike other parts of real estate that are being consolidated into massive prop-tech machines or disrupted by AI, single- family property management has proven uniquely resistant. Wall Street and Silicon Valley have tried and failed to automate this business, and for good reason: anyone can manage a property, but only a few can do it expertly and consistently deliver incredible results. As rentals expand as a share of the housing market, the ability to maximize efficiency and increase return on investment for millions of homes is becoming a rare and highly valuable skillset. This is one of the few industries where your personal expertise directly determines your results -- creating real productivity gains for you, your clients, and the economy as a whole. It's also important to note the differences between single-family management, multifamily/apartment management, and traditional sales. We manage multifamily too, but apartment-industry experience doesn't translate nearly as well as single-family experience, where you're often guiding someone on the best path to maintain, sell, or rent their own home. That knowledge is unmatched in terms of practical value. Meanwhile, sales as a standalone career are increasingly under pressure. Top producers will always thrive, but for new entrants, the odds are stacked against them. In our view, the only reliable path to building a long-term housing services career starts with exceptional property management skills. If you earn day-to-day trust in this field, you'll earn a level of credibility most sales agents can only dream of. Property management is, at its core, a relationship business. Unless AI can drive to a property, meet people, and connect with them personally, this is a skillset that will remain valuable for decades. At the same time, it's a technically demanding career that rewards innovative thinking and the ability to wield high-tech tools effectively. Skilled, well-trained property managers are in short supply and high demand. For those who thrive in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment, that translates directly into strong career prospects. No company combines modern tools, deep rental market experience, and proven training like we do. We teach modern skills, apply modern tools, and help you unlock long-term value for both your customers and your career. Basic Outline: Property management grows consistently without a lot of effort. Once you reach a portfolio of 100 homes you would earn a great living. Especially if organized and efficient, you could easily work part-time for a full salary. Or, you can expand your goals and enjoy growth plus residual monthly income from your existing customers. We're aware many sales brokers have been fed a steady diet of property management horror stories, and many are likely true as a lot of shady characters operate in this industry. It's crucial to understand that good managers who only work with good rental investors (as we always do) tend to have amazing customer interactions 80% of the time. We have some complicated relationships, but we compartmentalize them much better than you could a frantic buyer. Rarely handled outside of business hours, or twice a day. Since 2020 we've evicted approximately 20 residents out of well over a thousand leases signed. Our track record is so low on headaches that we consider most of the property management zeitgeist to be more myth than reality regarding today's very modern rental industry. We address this in-depth in the FAQ linked below. We make property management pretty fun. Property management is a crucial skill that can be put to good use anywhere in the world. It is also extremely resilient, and to a large degree thrives in a tough economy. This company laid its early foundation in the aftermath of 2008. When others are stressed about an uncertain future, we know our dynamic and tech-savvy company is almost surely to remain exceptionally stable, if not outright thrive. We evolve dramatically every year and despite a series of major events from a housing meltdown, and a pandemic / lockdown, to the chaos of reopening, dramatic inflation, and multiple direct hit hurricanes, our company has thrived every step of the way. Our industry has too for those who were able to process the pace of change as we have. Our company is likely to continue to fill this void well because most prop-tech and national companies are inconsistent at best. There will be a lot to learn if transitioning from sales to rentals, however, we offer a multitude of solutions for nearly all of these problems. We outline this topic extensively in our extensive FAQ, but our company consistently takes completely untrained new hires and turns them into premier managers in about 6 months. We've onboarded apartment leasing agents to run 80 home portfolios very well within 30 days, even during COVID lockdowns. Our average landlord relationship lasts 4 years and it's not unusual for them to last a decade. It's also not unusual for a landlord to do well on one quality home and then settle into a rhythm of adding more as fast as they can. We've also thrived with multifamily management, but our bread and butter have always been local mom-and-pop investors, accidental landlords, and owners who want a consistent low-headache income from one or two homes. The cities we have chosen are crown jewels in the US housing market. Poised to grow for decades. The sales industry is sure to become more technical, automated, and technology-dominated, but with our process, property management can be the local relationships business that attracts you to sales. Except it offers much more stability. Technology will never seriously replace the complex people relationship skills required to handle something as personal as a home, for both residents and investors. Our relationships span years and run deep. This industry has undergone epic changes over the past 12 years, and we have always led the way with simple easy-to-apply innovation and only improve on that issue with time. Our goal is to lay the foundation for an operations division that handles the vast majority of field and technical work for those who'd prefer to focus mostly on new business and customers. Our commitment to quality means you won't have to worry about us flooding your market with subpar operators who freeload and chip away at the reputation we build. A volume approach (doors under management) is the source of most of the myths, problems, and lawsuits associated with property management, and we are fundamentally designed to avoid it. We outline this topic extensively in the FAQ. We won't just train you in the basics, we cover the nuance of molding your customers to also focus on quality and win-win decisions that unlock dramatic advantages. Our company is deeply committed to managing quality homes. Our success is built mostly on our sterling reputation, and that is nearly impossible to maintain when dealing with deficient properties and landlords who cut even a moderate number of corners. In our experience, the money earned from these relationships is a red herring distracting us from the benefits of an across- the-board focus on quality and service, combined with the pricing required to ensure a high standard of quality and technology investment. The Ideal Candidate : We strive to create an environment that caters to all types of personalities as noted above. Here are a few that would likely be a good fit. A seasoned, ethical, productive sales agent looking to diversify or make their income more consistent without having to heavily invest money, attention, or time. Someone who wants to start slow but also wants a clear path to converting to being a full-time property manager. Taking advantage of our full support services (optional) we feel a quality 100 home portfolio can be efficiently managed with under 20 hours a week of vigorous attention, and a few hours here and there to move things along at opportune times, and to deal with emergencies. If you're driven and want to build a business that combines the benefit of easily recurring income, with the ability to lean heavily on our stability and resources, this is a great fit for you as well. If you're tired of industries that are being outsourced to technology, phased out, or that suffer from dramatic booms and busts this is for you. Once you've built a portfolio of great like-minded owners, you only need to replace a few lost accounts each year to maintain. It's easy to be selective. We discourage 100s of owner leads a year for questionable property or resident strategies, even as a business. Your paychecks will be extremely steady, even in a major recession or doubling of interest rates, and your duties also can't be automated like so much of the sales process can. Wall Street and CA have tried to take over this business and failed to thrive because it's a local relationships business that can't be automated. It's a very stable long-term career path, with some of the most stable income available to a private contractor or small business owner. While rents will dip and challenges grow, property management thrives in the toughest of times. In property management, you get paid. You get paid early, and often, and you rarely do free work unless you want to go the extra mile, which is of course admirable and common with our team. If you'd like to one day build and run your own office with your staff much like a franchisee, that will be a viable option for top performers and will offer the opportunity for entrepreneurial types to earn exceptionally large income while building a business of their own. Without having to shoulder the full weight alone or even relying on support from sub-par sink-or-swim franchise operations. Goals : We're always driving to a goal in every market we cover of providing nearly every possible service a contractor could want from heavily managing existing portfolios, meaning not having to onboard much new business (taking over when someone leaves or sharing income with someone who specializes in onboarding new customers), to only onboarding new customers (lead generation). This will also include a fully-functioning repair and operations division. Our goal for our owners is long-term, headache-free. exceptional bottom-line profitability and results. Our goal for our tenants is fair, reasonable, and empathetic treatment. Our goal for our contractors is fair win-win growth and providing exceptional service and results as a team. Our general goal is that everyone involved with our company will honor the golden rule, and work very hard with efficiency, win-wins, and constant improvement in mind. Poor Fit Candidates : Short-term thinking tends to not fit well with our very long-term approach. Thin-skinned, easily stressed, not naturally able to deal with people, incapable of commanding confidence and respect, expecting a lot without a lot of effort, expecting to work part-time and dramatically excel. Willing to cut corners on safety, fairness, or liability. Unwilling to read, research, improve, and stay up to date not only on the latest laws and regulations but also on renter and housing trends, market news and expectations, housing data, and other information crucial to being a consistent long-term leader in property management. Any ethical issues of any kind. Drawbacks : Requires the ability to always be responsible. Housing is a life and death issue and to some degree, you are always on call to arrange for or handle a true emergency. Not unlike the lead-up to a big closing. It's rarely needed with quality housing, even emergency maintenance isn't highly common for an average-sized portfolio. With reasonable exceptions, this independent role requires enough buy-in that major issues are handled as needed, when needed, no matter what. This is a medium-term problem, as we'll eventually expand to offer the opportunity to hand most responsibility to our operations and repair division that we began building in 2023. We are just getting started in your town. This drawback could easily be a benefit as well, as your success will have the full attention, focus, and commitment of our top-level staff. We have high standards and will not bend on that. As noted, we don't need someone to work 9-5, but we do need consistently superior results and obvious commitment to our customers and career. We will do whatever it takes to protect our reputation and results, including moving on from unproductive and especially risky relationships. We are quality-focused and long-term-oriented. This is not a get-rich-quick industry, and we are not that kind of company. As noted throughout, this company and industry thrive on compounding small residuals built up and enjoyed over time. It's not a glamour business in most cases though it can be in certain niches. About MoveZen: We began in the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis as Victory Real Estate Sales. Yes, as many of our newest partners have done, this business began with a switch from sales to property management in 2007. We have since endured and thrived in the face of consistent challenges, astounding in size and complexity. We've evolved along with an industry that looks completely different than it did in 2008, in nearly every way. We know housing inside and out, and unlike prop-tech or Wall Street companies, we know customers inside and out too. We simplify the technology required to thrive among prop tech competition and commit doggedly to quality in all that we do. We play the long game and focus on customers, not growth results. Our company laid the foundation for today's expansion over 10 years before we felt our model could be recreated to the standards we require, and customers would adore. We're also innovative, open-minded, and flexible. Pay: Compensation will be fair and negotiated based on the amount of corporate day- to-day support you would like to utilize. Most importantly, our agreement ensures that you receive fair compensation both upfront, and over time should you ever move on from our company.
