Access Property Management Group

What Access Property Management Group does

Access Property Management Group, LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped residential property management firm founded in 2008 and headquartered at 1430 Monroe Ave NW, Suite 105, Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company delivers full-service rental property management—including tenant screening and leasing, rent collection, 24/7 maintenance coordination, legal compliance, and financial reporting (monthly statements plus Schedule E/1099 tax documents)—to individual landlords and small-to-mid real estate investors across West Michigan (Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Rockford, Allendale, and Traverse City). Founder and President Justin Bajema, a U.S. Marine combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient, leads the firm alongside Co-founder/COO Jennifer Bajema and co-founder Eddie Beekman, with Aaron Treloar (13+ years in property accounting) and Mary Orozco rounding out a five-to-six person team that collectively claims 65+ years of regional residential rental management experience.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: web-based owner and tenant portals are delivered via the PropertyWare platform, supplemented by DocuSign-enabled digital onboarding, while day-to-day operations rely on human-driven processes (priority-tiered maintenance triage, multi-channel tenant communication, and on-the-ground vendor management). There is no proprietary software product, no public API, no AI/ML tooling, and no mobile application—the offering is fundamentally a labor-intensive local service, not a technology product.

Revenue is generated on a recurring, percentage-of-rent and per-unit basis through a four-tier pricing structure: Standard Plan at 9% of rents collected, Flat-Rate Plan at $109 per unit per month, Multi-Unit Plan with custom negotiated pricing for 10+ unit owners, and a one-time Lease-Only tenant placement fee. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct-to-property-owner, executed via website signup, phone/email, content marketing (blog, YouTube, Facebook), and referrals within the local rental property owner community. NARPM and IREM (CPM designation) affiliations, plus an advisory relationship with JB Harrison Insurance, round out the professional and vendor ecosystem supporting clients.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• RPM Living: Large national residential property manager serving single-family rentals, multifamily, and student housing across multiple regions. Comparable to APMG in service offering (full-service residential PM), but operates at much larger scale and with national, not regional, footprint.
• FirstService Residential: Large property management firm with significant residential focus (HOAs, condos, residential rentals). Comparable in residential management service lines but operates at institutional scale across multiple geographies.
• Greystar Real Estate Partners: World's largest multifamily and student housing operator/manager. Comparable in residential property management, especially the apartment (10–100 unit) segment APMG targets, but with vastly more institutional scale, geographic reach, and capital.
• Lincoln Property Company: Diversified national real estate services firm with a sizable residential property management business. Overlap with APMG in multifamily management for 10–100 door communities; broader geographic and asset-class coverage.

Direct peers

• Mynd Management: Tech-enabled residential property management company targeting small-to-mid-portfolio owners across multiple U.S. metros. Direct competitor in single-family and small multifamily PM, differentiated by technology and remote-first delivery versus APMG's hands-on local model.

Emerging players

• Belong: Tech-forward residential property management platform serving individual landlords and small portfolios. Comparable target customer and value proposition (turnkey management for small owners), though structured more around software + services hybrid.
• Hemlane: Tech-enabled residential property management platform serving individual landlords and small investors. Comparable end-customer (small landlords seeking hands-off management), delivered with software plus remote/local agent hybrid model.

Regional players

• Green Residential: Regional (Texas-focused) full-service residential property management firm serving individual investors. Similar customer profile (small to mid residential portfolio owners) and pricing structure (percentage of rent) to APMG, though in a different geography.

Others

• NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers): Professional industry association for single-family and small multifamily residential property managers. Not a competitor, but the trade body APMG belongs to and an ecosystem participant that influences industry standards and referral flows among member firms.
• PropertyWare: SaaS property management platform used by many U.S. residential property managers. APMG runs its owner and tenant portals on PropertyWare, making the vendor a strategic dependency rather than a direct competitor.
