40 years strong
For over a decade, Reno Property Management (RPM) has been a trusted name in Northern Nevada’s real estate landscape, managing residential, commercial, and HOA properties with integrity and care. But our story goes back much further—shaped by decades of hands-on experience, a deep commitment to family values, and a reputation built on trust and results.
How we can help you
A Legacy of Hard Work and Dedication
Doug started in the industry in 1980 as a maintenance worker, fixing, cleaning, and learning the trade from the ground up. His experience gave him a unique perspective—understanding not just the business side of property management but the hands-on work it takes to maintain and improve properties. With the strong support of his wife Krista, Doug took every opportunity to grow over the years. While earning accreditations he moved from maintenance to managing single properties to eventually overseeing large portfolios across multiple states.
Having always worked for family-owned and operated companies, Doug gained a unique perspective on the values that truly matter in business. He understood the importance of trust, integrity, and treating employees like family. In 2012, he had the opportunity to purchase an established property management company. With the help of a close friend, he made the leap, bringing RPM into the 21st century while preserving its strong foundation. Since then, the company has grown significantly, expanding from a small team to over a dozen dedicated professionals, managing thousands of properties across the region.

A Commitment to Community
Built on Relationships,
Guided by Values
RPM operates with a simple but powerful philosophy: take care of people, and everything else falls into place. Doug always prioritized employee well-being, implementing policies like unlimited PTO with the belief that if you trust people, they will rise to the occasion. This approach has led to incredible employee loyalty—one of the original two employees at RPM when Doug purchased the company, Jober, was recently promoted to President, a testament to the trust and growth fostered within the organization.
The same philosophy extends to clients. RPM doesn’t take on new business unless they can maintain their standard of excellence. Their reputation has been built entirely on word-of-mouth, with other property management companies even entrusting their clients to RPM when they step away from the industry.
Doug’s leadership style is grounded in accessibility. He’s never been the type to sit in a boardroom detached from the day-to-day operations. His background as a maintenance worker, manager, and business owner allows him to connect with property owners, tenants, and employees on a personal level. Even in retirement, he remains an active consultant, ensuring RPM continues to uphold the values he built it on.
