The Top 100 list is updated annually, with rankings determined by verified scores, promoting accountability and operational excellence in the industry. The system aims to provide property owners with a trustworthy comparison of management partners while raising industry standards.","Discover how PropertyManagement.com ranks the Top 100 Property Managers in the U.S. Using the TrueMatch™ Score, we evaluate performance, trust, cost & experience.","","\u003Cp class=\"mb-4 text-primary leading-relaxed text-lg\">As a property manager, you know reputation and operational excellence drive your success. TrueMatch™ is our independent scoring system for ranking property managers all across the United States (more countries coming soon). Each year, we’re taking a snapshot of the scores to determine the Top 100 property managers in the nation who demonstrate operational excellence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"mb-4 text-primary leading-relaxed text-lg\">TrueMatch™™ evaluates performance across four pillars: Performance, Cost, Trust, and Experience. We start with a base set of assumptions using publicly available information such as Google Reviews, licensing, and a company’s website, and then build from there. TrueMatch™  uses only verified information and standardized criteria to reward operational excellence, not marketing budgets or portfolio size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"mb-4 text-primary leading-relaxed text-lg\">The result is a level playing field where small operators with strong systems can rank alongside larger firms, and recognition is based entirely on merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"mb-4 text-primary leading-relaxed text-lg\">For property owners, it's a trustworthy way to compare management partners. For the industry, it raises the bar, our collective profile, and improves accountability.

Your score at that moment in time determines your eligibility for the Top 100 campaign. So whatever your company’s ranking is at that point in time, is the ranking for the year. TrueMatch™ scores can change over time as a company improves its operations and performance.
