About Real Property Management Sunstate

Who We Are

Real Property Management Sunstate was founded in 2009 by Marcus and Emily Phillips, who incorporated MECO Ventures Inc. with the goal of approaching rental property management as a long-term investment discipline rather than a reactive service. From the beginning, the focus was on treating rental homes as financial assets, not just physical properties, and managing them accordingly.

Starting in Palm Beach County, RPM Sunstate grew by applying disciplined processes, clear communication, and risk-aware decision making. As demand increased, the company expanded into Orlando and Jacksonville, unifying its operations under the Sunstate brand while maintaining dedicated local teams in each market.

Backed by a National Brand, Operated Locally

RPM Sunstate operates within the Real Property Management franchise network, founded in 1986 and now comprising more than 300 locations across North America. Marcus Phillips has been actively involved in national franchise leadership, contributing to system-wide improvements through participation on franchise councils.

This national infrastructure provides RPM Sunstate with proven systems, technology, and training, while day-to-day operations remain locally owned and directed. Strategic decisions are made by the Sunstate leadership team, allowing national standards to be applied through local market expertise and accountability.

Our Local Office Model

RPM Sunstate operates through staffed local offices, each responsible for a defined service area. This office-based model ensures that properties are managed by teams familiar with local rental markets, regulations, and vendor networks.

We currently operate property management offices in Jacksonville, Orlando, and Palm Beach County, with each office serving as a central hub for its surrounding communities.

Who We Work Best With

RPM Sunstate works primarily with residential rental property owners seeking professional, long-term management. We serve owners who need disciplined oversight in Florida’s regulatory and HOA-driven environment and who view their properties as long-term investments.

Long-Term Residential Property Owners

Owners of single-family homes and small multifamily properties who want consistent leasing, reliable tenant retention, and management decisions aligned with long-term asset performance rather than short-term gains.

Compliance-Driven Investors

Property owners operating under Florida landlord-tenant law (Chapter 83), HOA and COA governance, and local inspection requirements who need management partners that prioritize documentation, compliance, and risk-aware decision making.

Portfolio-Oriented Owners

Investors focused on sustainable returns, operational clarity, and predictable performance who value transparent reporting, disciplined processes, and management strategies designed to protect equity over time.

We focus exclusively on long-term residential rentals rather than sales or short-term brokerage activity, allowing our teams to remain fully dedicated to property management.

What We Do

Property management is our sole focus. We do not list or sell real estate, which eliminates the incentive to churn properties for commissions and ensures our goals remain fully aligned with long-term occupancy, asset performance, and owner returns.

Our approach centers on aligning day-to-day management decisions with long-term investment outcomes. Through disciplined leasing practices, tenant retention programs, and data-driven oversight, RPM Sunstate targets efficient leasing timelines and sustainable performance for residential rental assets. Short-term vacation rentals and commercial retail properties are intentionally outside our service model so we can maintain consistency, accountability, and depth of focus.
