In this segment, Peter Lohmann argues that a new generation of property‑management firms is emerging, built from the ground up with modern digital tools and artificial‑intelligence capabilities. He reflects on his own company, RL Property Management, which was an early adopter of a web‑first, paperless, tech‑forward model that gave it speed, agility, and cost advantages over local competitors. Lohmann predicts that today’s market already contains a handful of small groups replicating that early‑stage advantage, but now leveraging AI to further differentiate their services. The overall message is that the property‑management industry is on the cusp of a transformation driven by digital and AI integration.

There is definitely going to be a newer generation of property management companies coming up that are built with all these tools from day one. Just like I sort of picture, I view my company, RL Property Management, as being early on to be the sort of web-first, digital-first, paperless— remember that when that was all the rave? Yeah. Type of property management business in my area. And at the time that was a huge competitive advantage cuz it allowed us to be fast and nimble and cheaper and just more tech forward than our competitors in the local marketplace here. And so I definitely think today, right now, probably in your market, there's probably 1 or 2 little groups of people that are doing the equivalent of that right now, but with AI.
