In this episode of Unfiltered, co-hosts Dylan Scroggins and Matt Speer break down the launch of the PropertyManagement.com Top 100 and the broader vision behind building a trusted, data-driven standard for the property management industry. They unpack why the Top 100 exists, how companies are evaluated, and what differentiates earned reputation from pay to play rankings. The conversation also explores the early momentum behind the platform, lessons learned from survey data, and how transparency and trust are reshaping how property management businesses compete.

They discuss:

• Why the PropertyManagement.com Top 100 was created and what problem it aims to solve
• How the four core scoring categories are built around owner priorities
• The role of verified owner surveys and why communication consistently outperforms cost concerns
• Why the platform avoids pay to play models and how free and paid tiers actually differ
• What property managers should do next, whether they are already ranked or just getting started
