  81. How to Make Your New Employee Successful with Pete Neubig of VPM Solutions

  Aug 11, 20261h 1mS1

  Hiring a great employee is only the beginning. What happens during their first days, weeks, and months can determine whether they become a long-term asset to your property management company or another hire that doesn't work out. In this episode of the Property Management Business Podcast, Marc Cunningham sits down with Pete Neubig of VPM Solutions to break down how to successfully onboard and train a new employee. They walk through the entire process, from preparing for a new hire's first day and introducing company culture to creating a structured training program, evaluating performance, and eventually giving employees the independence to own their roles. Pete explains why training should move from broad company knowledge into role-specific responsibilities, how long training should last, and why new employees should build their own training manuals as they learn. Marc also shares how his team evaluates new hires, uses weekly one-on-one meetings, and determines when someone simply isn't the right fit. If you're investing time and money into finding great people, this episode will help you make sure that investment doesn't end on hiring day.

  80. A Strategic Planning Session for Your Business with Andrew Smallwood of Second Nature

  Jul 27, 20261h 4mS1

  What separates property management companies that grow intentionally from those that simply react? In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with Andrew Smallwood, Chief Strategy Officer at Second Nature, for a deep dive into strategic thinking. Rather than discussing theory, Andrew walks Marc through a real strategic planning session, exploring how property managers can make better long-term decisions, identify the right customers, and build businesses around intentional choices instead of constant opportunities. Together, they discuss defining your ideal customer, knowing where not to compete, balancing focus with growth, avoiding common strategic planning mistakes, and creating a business that's known for something truly unique. They also explore why collaboration isn't the same as consensus and how leaders can confidently make strategic decisions while still involving their teams. Whether you're managing 30 doors or 3,000, this conversation will challenge how you think about building your business for the long term.

  Jun 22, 202652 minS1

  Why would we sell our successful, growing property management company? In this special episode of the Property Management Business Podcast, the microphone gets turned around as Kit Garren interviews Marc Cunningham about Grace Property Management's recent sale to Associa and Rhome Property Management. After announcing the sale earlier this year, Marc received countless questions from industry peers: Was the company struggling? Was he burned out? Was this an exit strategy? In this candid conversation, Marc shares the real story behind the decision. You'll hear how Grace Management evolved from a family business founded in 1978 to one of Denver's most respected property management companies, why the company began exploring acquisition opportunities while business was thriving, and how concepts like risk management, succession planning, team stability, and long-term vision ultimately influenced the decision. Whether you have 100 doors or 10,000, this episode offers valuable insights into viewing your business as an asset, thinking strategically about the future, and making decisions that serve both your team and your legacy.

  77. What Property Managers Need To Know About The Macro Housing Market with Ivy Zelman

  May 25, 202645 minS1

  What's actually happening in the housing market right now and how should property managers respond? In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with housing market expert Ivy Zelman of Zelman & Associates to unpack the macro housing trends shaping the future of property management. Ivy shares why today's market is more segmented than ever, how overbuilding in Sunbelt markets is impacting rents and occupancy, and why affordability (not inventory) is the real issue facing housing today. Marc and Ivy also dive into the growing disconnect between renewal rents and market rents, why occupancy matters more than price in the current environment, and what property managers should be telling owner clients right now. This conversation is packed with insights on build-to-rent communities, investor behavior, reluctant landlords, concessions, demographics, and what property managers should expect over the next several years in both the rental and for-sale housing markets. If you want to better understand the "why" behind today's market conditions and how to communicate those realities to owners this episode is essential listening.
