Premier Business Investments

What Premier Business Investments does

Premier Business Investments, LLC (PBI) is a privately held, Gilbert, Arizona-based residential property management and real estate services firm founded in 2003. The company manages single-family homes, patio homes, condos, and commercial buildings on behalf of property owners across the Greater Phoenix Metro Area, with a particular focus on the East Valley and South Valley submarkets (Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, Ahwatukee, Cave Creek, Higley, and Fountain Hills). Its service portfolio spans full-service property management (tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, lease enforcement, financial reporting), real estate brokerage (buying, selling, and investment advisory), and consulting. The firm operates with a small team (1-10 employees) including a licensed Arizona real estate broker, in-house property managers, and a vetted vendor network licensed by the state.

The underlying technology layer is AppFolio, a third-party SaaS property management platform that powers both the owner portal (financial statements, property reports) and the tenant portal (online rent payment, maintenance requests). PBI has also implemented a paperless online rental application and approval workflow and an automated repair request triage process. There is no proprietary technology product; AppFolio functions as the operational backbone. The company holds National Association of Realtors membership and has been consecutively recognized on Expertise.com as one of the best property management firms in Gilbert (2021, 2023).

PBI's revenue is generated through three streams: recurring property management fees quoted at 5-10% of monthly rent collected from owners, transaction commissions on real estate sales and purchases, and professional services fees for investment and property management consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed at the tier level and is provided on a quote basis. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on the company website, inbound phone contact, on-site presence, and third-party directory listings (Expertise.com, Loc8NearMe, Yelp, Facebook) to capture owners and tenants within the Phoenix metro. The customer base consists of individual residential property owners, small-to-mid-market rental investors, and residential tenants, with no enterprise or institutional customers disclosed.
