NMHC Partners with Kingsley (a Grace Hill Company) to administer the NMHC 50 Survey. Learn more about their survey solutions, visit gracehill.com/products/kingsleysurveys/

What is Property Management?

This is a survey of property management, not asset or investment management. Only multifamily (defined as five or more units) rental units (including independent living and age-restricted housing) for which the company handles property management tasks – leasing, maintenance, landscaping, etc. – should be included here.

Managers do NOT include:
Firms with control over asset / investment decisions only
Condominium or cooperative units, nursing homes, hotel rooms, hospital rooms, or mobile homes

Historical Data

Historical data for each company reflects only years the company previously qualified for the NMHC 50 lists.
