About JPM

Meeting the needs of our clients, tenants, and staff.

After 20 plus years in the property management and maintenance arena working for others, on both the east and west coasts, founder Jack Palmer merged his knowledge of the property management industry with his personal philosophy of good management, customer service, and accountability.

In 2000 JPM was born, focusing on multifamily property management. Each community is professionally managed in partnership with client owners. Truly a family business, members of the JPM family have worked in every capacity of the company from onsite management to administrative support and maintenance. JPM focuses on meeting the long-term investment needs of the client while providing great places for people to call home.
