What Greenleaf does

Greenleaf is a vertically integrated real estate company headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia (with a registered office in Norcross), founded in 2008 and operating as Greenleaf LLC. The company acquires, rehabilitates, and manages both residential and commercial real estate across the southeastern United States, with current operations spanning Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas. The platform is built around three integrated service lines: residential property management of approximately 4,200 units, commercial property management of approximately 1,600,000 square feet of office, industrial, and retail space, and real estate investment services through which the company has deployed roughly $750 million of investor capital across 125+ assets.

The business is founder-led by co-founders Josh Friedensohn, Dave Codrea, and Andrew Ziffer, with Mark Buchanan as COO, Andy Skrobko as Director of Finance, and a full back-office spanning capital markets, transactions, compliance, accounting, and property management. The company operates a relationship-driven investor platform featuring a dedicated Agora Real investor portal, quarterly end-of-quarter livestreams, a Mayor Series, and a podcast with over 130 episodes, in addition to a community-engagement layer (Camp Greenleaf youth program, Greenleaf Foundation, community gardens, supply drives, and financial counseling) that anchors tenant retention in the low-income residential segment.

The revenue model is predominantly subscription/recurring in nature: residential and commercial rental income from owned and operated assets, supplemented by professional services revenue from capital raises, asset management, and co-investment with investors. Pricing is unit-based for residential ($800 to $1,300+ per month depending on state and unit) and per-square-foot for commercial (minimum 5,000 SF up to 50,000+ SF), and distribution is achieved through self-serve website leasing, direct commercial outreach, and direct investor sales supported by a downloadable prospectus. The company is privately held, is not publicly traded, and discloses no AI/ML technology stack, patents, or awards.
