Spotlight: Women Business Owners
The U.S. Census Bureau reported in December 2014 there were 7.8 million women-owned businesses, which accounted for 28.7% of all businesses nationwide. Surprisingly in the male dominated property management industry, nearly 30% of all Real Property Management franchises are fully or partially owned by women.
“Our female franchise owners bring diverse skillsets and unique perspectives to drive innovation and provide the best service in the industry,” says Lukas Krause, Chief Operating Officer of Property Management Business Solutions, LLC.

Here is what some of our other female franchise owners had to say about owning a business:
Kathryn Guthrie, Real Property Management Sac-Metro says, “I have always felt driven to make a positive difference in the world around me. Real Property Management is a way to help owners and tenants fulfill the basic need for housing and the ancillary need for return on investment. I love helping people and creating a positive impact on the individuals we serve, and, through them, the communities where we live and work.”
Tami Collins, of Real Property Management East Cobb, indicates, “I had been in real estate and property management for six years and was ready to work for myself. My daughter has her real estate license and it has been a good business venture for the two of us.”
Baylee Wang, Real Property Management VA Peninsula, states, “We strive to be the most professional management company in the area and we mean it!”
Lanelle Butterfield, Real Property Management Enterprise sums it up by saying, “Property management has always been something that I have been interested in. The business has been a blessing to our lives.”
We are proud of our female owners and the many contributions they make to the Real Property Management franchise organization.
