The Evolving Role Of The Property Manager

Matthew Edwards • May 28, 2019

By 2025 the nearly 100-year old title of “Property Manager” will be replaced by titles far more reflective of the role. In the early 1930s, the position began as a Building Supervisor role. Formation of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) began to elevate a career in property management.


The title “Certified Property Manager” was created and the status and quality of this role was significantly enhanced. As the real estate industry moves forward, the title, role and responsibilities of the Property Manager will dramatically change. Tomorrow’s Property Managers will be faced more on what’s inside the four walls of the community and could be closer to a General Manager or Concierge at Ritz Carlton.


Our team understands your evolving role and want to be a resource for you, your team and community members. Here are a few ways we can help:


RAP – a web/phone app to help you access vital information about your property from disaster plans to vendor contacts.


Training – your maintenance and leasing team members can be vital to lowering the cost of any size property damage. We use our over 45 years of experience to provide insights on how to prevent, report and manage a property damage event.


We are accredited in the state of Mississippi and Louisiana to provide CE hours to a growing number of property management professionals.


From marketing to events, Guarantee can help you with local events to marketing strategies. Our focus isn’t property damage, it is being a resource.

Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it! That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you. Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton , one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives. Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband. Education & Professional Background Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy. Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023 . Life Outside of Work Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most. Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
