Property Management Inc. Introduces New Management Software To Help Its Franchisees Succeed

Property Management Inc. is moving its franchisees into the future with the introduction of a new association management software called CINC — an all-in-one integrated banking, accounting and association management solution that’s streamlining the process of property management and making operations more efficient and effective than ever before.

Since 2008, Property Management Inc. has been providing expertise in property management services across its 295 locations through four pillars: association, commercial, residential, and both short-term and long-term rentals. The brand’s model makes it easy for franchisees to branch out in the industry and diversify their revenue streams by working within multiple pillars.

Kent Grothe, a PMI franchisee in Northeast Atlanta, was the one to introduce the idea of integrating CINC’s software into the brand’s operations model. Now, he says the switch has been one of the more beneficial moves the franchise has made.

“We had a previous system, but it wasn’t a great set-up. It was functional, but it was expensive and not terribly efficient. I like [CINC]’s cloud-based design, it works really well. I went first and converted my business before other franchisees, and it was every bit as good as I thought it would be.”

Grothe is excited about the multitude of benefits that CINC’s software provides to his business and franchisees across the board. From things as little as sending reminders to integrated banking technologies, CINC has simplified the management experience.

“Everything is integrated into a single system — all correspondence, violations and payments. And it’s all in one place. The automation gives you a more efficient customer experience. The system is doing a lot more remembering,” said Grothe. “It also makes my people more efficient. They can manage more communities with the same number of employees. And more efficiency means more profitability.”

But CINC isn’t just supporting the franchisee experience, it’s also impressing clients, according to Grothe.

“When you’re bringing clients on, you can show them this fully integrated platform, and they can see the reporting that it does. HOA boards really care about that kind of stuff,” said Grothe. “The old software didn't really demonstrate that. Now I'm more than happy to show them how it works. It’s a serious selling point.”

Grothe agrees that CINC is moving PMI and its franchisees in the right direction, and he’s hopeful those who are looking to invest in the brand will recognize CINC as a reason to sign on.

The startup costs for a Property Management Inc. franchise range from $42,550 to $166,600. The franchise fee ranges from $35,000 to $128,600. To learn more about franchising with Property Management Inc., visit *
