Property Management Inc. Announces Leadership Promotions at Annual Franchise Conference

Major leadership changes are taking place at Property Management Inc. The property management solution franchise has promoted Senior Vice President Danessa Itaya to the role of President. Itaya succeeds PMI co-founder Steve Hart, who has now been promoted to CEO. The announcements were made at PMI’s most recent annual franchise conference in September.

The promotions will allow PMI to take the business to the next level. The real estate management brand is specifically looking to focus on larger projects, including forming national partnerships, with Hart at the helm.

“I’ve been running PMI for 11 years, and the company just finally got to the point where we’re big enough where it’s important to think on a bigger scale,” Hart said. “At PMI, we’ve been growing the franchise and selling franchises and helping those franchisees grow. Now we want to step outside of that path we’ve been on and think bigger picture. The PMI team loves Danessa and we know she’ll be great in the role of president.”

Itaya will oversee day-to-day operations in her new role, which will allow Hart to focus on projects related to the company’s vision and goals.

“I think that, as a brand, we’re perfectly situated to be able to really divide off and have Steve focus more on the strategic piece and growing PMI and taking us to the next level,” Itaya said.

PMI plans to help franchisees become more independent and provide them with the best resources possible to grow their businesses.

“We’re a leader in our category, but we still have a lot of growing to do and so far to go. We are excited about the larger long-term vision and helping our franchisees grow every step of the way,” Hart said.

Like Hart, Itaya is thrilled with what PMI is doing today and shares her vision about what the brand is capable of.

“We’re 11 years old and have 275-plus franchises, so now we are at the perfect time to leverage that wide footprint and tap into national brands,” Itaya said.
