Hi, I’m Bob Preston
I am the lead consultant and creator of Property Management Brainstorm and one of the course creators at Property Management Blueprint. Both have been founded to specialize in guidance for teams building property management companies and real estate investment strategies.
In addition to being a property management industry entrepreneur, I’m a seasoned Silicon Valley technology executive, having previously served as Chief Marketing Officer at two publicly traded technology companies.
I am a nationally known figure in the property management industry with over 20 years of experience in building and growing property management companies. I was the founder and broker/owner of San Diego's leading and fastest-growing property management company, North County Property Group, before successfully negotiating the sale of the business to PURE Property Management in 2022.
I remained with PURE as Western Regional Director, during a period of explosive growth for the company, overseeing operations for 28 branch office locations and over 12,000 doors.
I’ve been awarded three prestigious designations by the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM):
- RMP® (Residential Management Professional)
- MPM® (Master Property Manager)
- CRMC (Certified Residential Management Company)
I also served as President and board of directors of the California State Chapter (CALNARPM) for 2020-2023 and on the NARPM National Board of Directors as the Southwest Regional Vice President (2022). I’m a licensed California Real Estate Broker (DRE #01922571), General Contractor (#892437), and member of the North San Diego County Association of Realtors (#181799).
