Hunter Property Management

What Hunter Property Management does

Hunter Property Management is a privately held, family-owned residential property management company headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, operating since 1986 and currently owned by Chris and Stacy Vincent. The company manages 600+ rental units across the Springfield metropolitan area — including Nixa, Ozark, Rogersville, Republic, Willard, Strafford, Clever, Bolivar, and Branson — serving individual landlords and small real estate investors with single-family and multi-family portfolios, as well as residential tenants searching for rental homes in the region. Springfield's renter-majority demographic profile (~58% of the population) provides a structurally favorable addressable market.

The company's core offering is structured in two tiers: Full Service Management and Lease Only. Full Service is built on the Appfolio property management software platform and covers marketing, an 11-point tenant screening process, online rent collection, in-house maintenance with a 24/7 hotline, financial reporting via owner portal, and eviction support. Lease Only is a flat $1,000 tenant-placement service without ongoing management. Add-on products include Surevestor Landlord Protection Insurance (~USD 45/month, referred through Scheer), a Resident Benefit Package with filter changes, credit-building rent reporting, and a rewards program, plus a formal Agent Referral Program offering USD 250 per referred owner with a return guarantee for future listings.

Hunter's business model is predominantly recurring, anchored by monthly management fees of 7-10% of rent collected, supplemented by one-time leasing fees (½ month's rent per 24-month lease), per-applicant application fees (USD 30), 10% late fees, ancillary inspection and advertising fees, and referral commissions on insurance products. The go-to-market combines direct owner engagement (website, phone, free rental analysis), SEO-optimized content marketing (26+ blog posts in 2023-2024), social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, listing syndication to Zillow and Trulia via Appfolio, and the agent referral channel. The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and operates as a tightly held family business.
