My RPM Story – Mike Markus

When I began working in residential property management (RPM), I was mowing lawns. Now, as a maintenance director for BRG Realty Group, I oversee more than 7,000 apartment homes.

Thanks to eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, I have the skills and determination to grow and thrive in RPM. I served in the 4th Marine Corps Recruiting Command, where I managed eight recruiting stations and 850 recruiters across 14 states as well as shaped recruitment strategy. I loved my career in the Marines, but once it ended I felt somewhat lost — until I found the RPM industry.
