Burke Realty

What Burke Realty does

Burke Realty is a privately held, family-owned residential and commercial property management company headquartered in Winchester, Virginia. Founded by Glen and Kimberly Pine Burke in 1984 and incorporated in 1997, the company operates across three related legal entities — Burke Realty, Inc., Pine-Burke Realty, LLC, and K-T Realty, Inc. — collectively branded as The Burke Companies. The business manages a portfolio of rental apartments, townhouses, single-family homes, and commercial properties concentrated in Winchester and Stephens City, VA, and also owns the George Washington Hotel (operated under Wyndham Grand) in Old Town Winchester. Its primary customer segments are individual residential tenants seeking rental housing in the Winchester submarket and a smaller set of commercial tenants.

The core technology layer is the AppFolio Property Manager platform, which powers the company's Online Tenant Portal and companion iOS/Android mobile apps. These tools enable tenants to pay rent online, submit maintenance requests, manage account settings, and communicate with management — the operational backbone of the leasing business. Listings are published through the company website and syndicated via AppFolio, with applications accepted online. Residential rents range from $1,250 to $2,100 per month, with security deposits typically equal to one month's rent and credit score minimums of $650–$700.

Revenue is generated through monthly subscription-style recurring rental income across residential units, commercial spaces, and the hotel. The company positions itself on a dual value proposition: direct access to the owner-operators combined with modern digital tenant conveniences provided by the AppFolio stack. There is no disclosed institutional investment, no external funding, and no M&A activity in the available data — the business operates as a tightly held regional operator with a stable, geographically concentrated asset base.
