Recently fell in love with Property Management, as a way to merge my extensive hospitality resume with starting my own company in the Bay Area. We have operated many profitable Airbnb units, and larger multi-family communities. I'm experienced in operations, sourcing, budgeting and guest service experience in major markets from San Francisco to New York City with world class brands.

Bowman Property Management, LLC was founded in 2010 by Owner/Broker Rich Bowman. Rich purchased his first investment property in 2007 and soon realized that after purchasing an investment property the second step (and a very important one) to a successful real estate investment is professional level property management.

Over the next three years, Rich and a business partner purchased, renovated, and leased several investment properties. At the same time he learned everything he could about property management through mentors, Georgia Real Estate Commission approved classroom courses, joining professional organizations, and of course experience.

In 2010 he decided to put his knowledge to use for others and founded Bowman Property Management, LLC to help fellow property owners through the maze of leasing and managing their rental properties.

I have been a real estate broker since 1997, but started Progressive Property Management, Inc. in 2012 (www.progressive-pm.com). With innovative programs, virtual branches throughout Southern California, and "hybrid" pricing, we have grown to 1,000 doors. In 2019, we started managing homeowners associations with Progressive Association Management (progressive-am.com) and now manage 3 associations as well.

I have served on the Pacific West Association of Realtors for 10 years, was on the Placentia City Council for 8 years (2000-2008), and still serve as a Director for the California Association of Realtors. I now wish to help both NARPM and our local chapter.

I also help other management companies add more doors and improve profitability with www.AddMoreDoors.com and assist management companies enter the association management space with www.AddMoreHOAs.com
