About Us – Who We Are & Why We’re Different
Our Story & Vision
Founded in 2014, Zebra Management (a division of Zebra Realty Inc.) started with a simple mission: to provide property owners with a smarter, more attentive management partner. We began by managing our own partners’ investment portfolios, which taught us firsthand what an owner expects and needs. This origin means we truly understand how to think like property owners – we know every decision is about balancing expenses with long-term asset growth. Over the years, we expanded across New York and New Jersey, managing and developing properties in multiple cities and townships. From single-family rentals to large apartment communities, we’ve built expertise at every scale of property management.
What’s with the Zebra? Just as every zebra has unique stripes, every property and owner is unique. We chose the name Zebra to reflect our philosophy of delivering bespoke management services tailored to each client’s needs. There is no one-size-fits-all here – we customize our approach for you, whether that means weekly check-in calls with a first-time duplex owner or detailed quarterly performance reviews for a fund manager with a hundred units. This flexibility and personal touch set us apart.
Our Dual Focus: Large Scale and Personal Scale
For Institutional Investors:
We speak your language. Zebra’s team includes professionals with backgrounds in finance, asset management, and construction, enabling us to serve institutional and large portfolio clients with sophistication and rigor. We provide institutional-grade reporting, budget oversight, and strategic planning to help you “manage your portfolio more easily, save money at every stage, and achieve greater ROI”. We have the bandwidth and systems to handle complexity – from coordinating dozens of leases and maintenance crews to ensuring compliance across jurisdictions – all while maintaining the high-level view on performance. Our institutional clients appreciate that we bring big-firm capabilities with boutique attention, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
For Individual Owners:
We haven’t forgotten that small owners are the backbone of the rental market. In fact, over 70% of U.S. rental properties are owned by individuals, not institutions. Zebra Management is passionate about helping everyday landlords succeed. We offer you peace of mind by handling the day-to-day burdens – tenant calls, repairs, paperwork – so you can enjoy the income without the stress. Our tone with our small owner clients is approachable and supportive: we take time to educate you on best practices, keep you informed, and treat you as a long-term partner. When you work with Zebra, you get a trusted advisor who cares about your property’s success and your tenants’ satisfaction. Our goal is to meet your financial and management goals while keeping tenants happy – a win-win that builds your wealth over time.
Why Choose Zebra Management?
Proven Track Record
With over a decade in business and a portfolio that’s grown steadily by referrals, we have a history of delivering results. We currently manage properties ranging from small multi-family homes to large apartment complexes, and we bring the same level of commitment to each. Our clients stay with us year after year because we deliver peace of mind and profit enhancement.
Tailored Services for Every Need
Unlike firms that force you into a preset plan, we believe in flexibility. “Each building is a unique opportunity with its own quirks,” and we tailor our services accordingly. You can choose full-service management or à la carte solutions. We can handle everything end-to-end or just the pieces you need help with – for example, some clients want us to handle leasing and accounting, but prefer to do maintenance themselves. We adapt to your preferences.
Transparent Communication
Trust is built on transparency. Whether you’re an out-of-state institutional investor or a local landlord, you’ll never be in the dark about what’s happening with your property. We provide regular updates and are always available to discuss your questions. Our modern online portals and reports keep you informed, and our team is just a call or email away.
Tenant-Centric Approach
Happy tenants equal lower turnover and better returns. We treat tenants with respect and prompt service, which in turn protects your investment. Our 24/7 emergency response and attentive property upkeep mean tenants stay longer and care for the property as if it were their own. This approach boosts your bottom line through higher occupancy and reduced repair costs over time.
Industry Leadership & Innovation
Zebra Management stays ahead of the curve. We invest in the latest property management technologies (from IoT smart locks to AI-driven rental pricing tools) to improve efficiency and service quality. We also keep up with market trends and legal changes, advising our clients proactively. When you partner with us, you gain a forward-thinking team that continuously seeks ways to enhance your portfolio’s performance.
