  Stop Chasing Doors: A Different Way to Scale Property Management | Stephen Glover

  Aug 19, 202644 minS1

  In this episode of Unfiltered, Dylan Scroggins sits down with Stephen Glover, CEO, owner, and principal broker of Peak Property Management, to discuss why growing a property management company isn't always about adding more doors. With nearly 1,500 rental units and a 45-person team, Stephen shares how turning down more than 4,000 units helped Peak protect its service, culture, and long-term growth. They explore how Peak built a boutique brand around selectivity, trust, and strong relationships, along with the leadership systems that keep a growing team aligned. Stephen also shares how EOS, intentional hiring, and a focus on creating better "experiences" instead of simply following processes have shaped the company's approach to tenants, owners, and vendors. From building a strong investor community in Richmond to navigating acquisitions and developing future leaders, this conversation offers practical insights for property management owners looking to grow without sacrificing the people and culture behind the business.

  AI, Capital & Growth: Inside the Rising Tide Model | Blake Mohseni

  Aug 12, 202641 minS1

  AI is about to change property management but not in the way most operators think.

He also explains Rising Tide's federation model, which helps strong property management companies grow while preserving their brands, teams, and existing systems.
