Michelle Luchanksy Joins Property Management Inc. As New VP of Marketing

Michelle Luchanksy has worked with franchisees of well-known brands as Fazoli’s and McDonald’s, but when she decided to accept a new role as vice president of marketing for Property Management Inc., a rapidly growing franchise with 300-plus locations, what sold her was the sense of community the brand exudes.

“It’s a top down culture that ripples out across the brand  — from its franchisees to the people they serve,” Luchansky said. “PMI really is a family in the sense that everyone is working together to build success. That’s something that really resonated with me.”

PMI, which was founded in 2008 and has grown to more than 300 franchise offices across 42 states, helps franchisees maximize their profitability across four pillars — residential, commercial, association and short term rental.

Now, at a time when the property management brand is poised for continued growth, Luchansky is focused on raising brand awareness across the country. “It’s such an exciting time for anyone in property management,” she said. “The shift in the way people are working right now means not only are people choosing to move, they’re often choosing to rent. With landlords busier than ever, they’re turning to third-party management companies. But they need companies they can trust.”

According to Luchansky, PMI’s brand promise of effective communication, honesty and integrity, accurate accounting and availability of management teams is something that sets it apart from other property management companies.

“Property managers owe a fiduciary duty to always act in the best interest of the communities or buildings they represent,” she said. “And that’s something PMI takes seriously.”

For franchisees, that reputation of honesty and integrity is key to scaling their businesses. It’s also something that Luchansky hopes to highlight as she works to build that perception. “It’s very exciting to help take an established brand to the next level,” she said. “Just like you know those golden arches, my goal is nothing less than making Property Management Inc. a household name over the next five years.”

Already drumming up national and local marketing campaigns to get people excited about the brand, Luchansky said the team at PMI has rolled out the welcome wagon for her.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Michelle to our team,” said PMI President Danessa Itaya. “She brings exciting fresh ideas and energy that will help further our goals as we continue our expansion across the country.”
