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.

For five and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of writing our Meet the Team blog series. About two years into my role, our department grew with the addition of a third team member. This November, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who has already made a positive impact on our team — our GRS Marketing Assistant, Savannah Dear . As we approach Thanksgiving in just two short weeks, it’s hard to believe the holiday season is nearly here. No matter how busy this time of year becomes, one thing remains constant: when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always here for you . Meet the Team | Savannah Dear Savannah was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Mississippi. After graduating from Clinton High School in 2018, she attended the University of Mississippi, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrated Communication in 2023. In January 2024, she moved to Baton Rouge and began a career in Sales and Marketing with Orange Theory Fitness. We were thrilled to welcome her to the GRS team on August 26, 2024 . Life Outside of Work When Savannah isn’t assisting with social media content, organizing inventory, or supporting our sales team, she loves getting to know Baton Rouge. Her favorite pastimes include exploring the city, trying new restaurants with her boyfriend Jeremiah, spending time with friends, attending concerts, and playing with her dog, Honey. Singing is one of her favorite ways to unwind, and she will never turn down a karaoke night! She’s also an avid traveler, reality TV enthusiast, and sports fan. Her favorite teams include the New Orleans Pelicans, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Commanders, and her beloved — and slightly apologetic — Ole Miss Rebels.
