Houston-based real estate company Real Property Management Preferred was named the Franchise of the Year by the real estate home service network Neighborly.

Over 400 Real Property Management franchises competed for the distinction, which Neighborly selected based on metrics like business growth, engagement and client satisfaction.

“All of us at Real Property Management Preferred are excited to be honored as the Franchise of the Year recipient,” said Joni Wolfswinkel, broker and co-owner of RPM Preferred in Houston. “We’re also extremely grateful to Neighborly and everyone at Real Property Management. We look forward to continuing to build upon this success and stand committed to our efforts to lead our markets by maintaining the absolute best practice and customer service toward managing rental properties for our investors.”

RPM Preferred offers full-service residential rental management services for single- and multi-family properties. Co-owners Shawn and Joni Wolfswinkel have owned and operated the Houston franchise for over a decade.
