Two Cheeks, One Familia: Our Couch Can’t Keep Up!

At PMW, we like to joke that our growth can be measured in couches. What once comfortably seated our small but mighty team now feels like a game of Tetris — too many people, not enough cushions. But the truth is, this couch story isn’t just about space. It’s about how our Familia has grown, how our culture has scaled, and how we continue to support each other no matter how crowded the couch gets.

From One Couch to a Crowd

The Pioneer Era (2010–2013): It started with just a few of us — Kristen, Becky, and Mitch — the backbone who carried PMW through its earliest days. Back then, one couch was plenty.

The Steady Build (2017–2019): As we welcomed Samantha, Ashley K., Mikayla, and Ashley M., the couch started to feel a little smaller — but the support grew stronger.

The Growth Surge (2020–2022): The pandemic tested everything, but with new teammates like Matt and Cindy, and later Nate, Scott, and Livan, we leaned on each other harder than ever.

The Big Wave (2023–2024): Over 20+ hires joined, and suddenly we weren’t just sharing a couch — we were practically building a fort out of them. And then came our milestone moment: PMW was acquired by Rentvine in 2024. This wasn’t just a business transaction. It was the beginning of a new chapter — one that expands our ability to serve property managers with a more robust offering, enhanced support and training, and a fully integrated solution inside the Rentvine ecosystem.

The New Era (2025 and beyond): With 17 new hires and counting, the couch is officially overflowing. But instead of falling off the edges, we find ways to lift each other up. Because at PMW, support isn’t just physical — it’s cultural.

Why Our Couch Holds Us Together

Our DISC testing revealed something unusual: almost all of us are “S” types. That means we’re steady, supportive, and quick to put others first. For some companies, that balance tips too far. For us, it’s the reason our couch hasn’t broken. When one person takes on too much, another steps in. When someone needs a break, another makes room. It’s not just teamwork. It’s Familia.

The Values That Keep Us Comfortable

• Client Centricity – the customer always gets a seat.
• Do The Right Thing. Always. – integrity doesn’t take breaks.
• Familia – stronger together, even if squished.
• No Ego – no one needs the “best seat.”
• Hungry – willing to lean in and make it work.
• Loyal – we don’t give up on each other.
• Results – at the end of the day, the couch holds.

Looking Ahead

The couch may not keep up, but that’s okay — because our Familia always will. With Rentvine by our side, we’re not just making room. We’re building something bigger: a fully integrated, best-in-class solution for property managers everywhere. And no matter how many new cheeks join the couch, we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done — watching out for each other, putting clients first, and proving that growth only makes us stronger.
