After completing his service as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, Kevin joined his father’s business in 1982, Liberty Management. Today, Kevin has taken the reins of the family enterprise, incorporating his own knack for new technology and commitment to client-centric care. Now, with more than thirty years of industry expertise under his belt, Kevin leads a stalwart management company that’s recognized across the world. He has even spoken at the Leading Property Managers of Australia conference as a keynote speaker.

Primarily serving the San Antonio area—with properties also positioned in Houston and Dallas—Kevin’s roster is comprised of over 800 properties. Successfully managing a portfolio of this magnitude speaks to Kevin and his team’s systematic, tried-and true approach to their work. “We manage properties like we own them and when we’re making decisions we think, if this was our property, what would we do? Our owners know that we have their best interests at heart,” Kevin says. “It’s about having a relationship built on trust. We manage a portfolio of single family homes valued over $130,000,000, with owners who trust us with ongoing maintenance and management. They know we’ll do the right thing. What really sets us apart? I’m a systems guy. Years ago, we built really detailed work flows, procedures and checklists that we have continued to update that dictate our operations down to the smallest detail.”

In addition to Kevin’s meticulous leadership approach, his company also provides a full-spectrum of property management services. Those duties include: marketing, leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, performing move-ins, inspections, move-outs, periodic property visits, overseeing repairs and maintenance, counting of the owners’ funds, tenants’ funds, and handling security deposits. Another testament to Kevin’s sterling service record? His company is among only fifty-four management companies nationwide that have been audited and certified by the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) as a certified property management company. Likewise, Kevin often travels around the world or hosts visiting professionals to impart his extraordinary insight into the business. With some of his client owners sticking with his services for more than thirty years, Kevin has cultivated a proven reputation for dependability.

Kevin and his team also manage resales in addition to their property management services. To market listings and rentals, Kevin has invested in professional video equipment to provide top-tier professional photography and recently began incorporating video and virtual reality tours, with a complete video studio soon to come. What’s more, properties enjoy maximum visibility across hundreds of leading digital listing sites. He and his team also market their services to investors, real estate professionals, and particularly military personnel—who often need a good steward for their homes when they go off to serve abroad for long stretches. As a veteran himself, Kevin recognizes the need for a trustworthy, communicative manager when it comes to a person’s biggest investment. “I love my job. I’m always working on ways to improve our service to our owners and tenants and find ways to be more efficient. At any one time, we have fifty projects going on to make sure we’re always offering new value to our clients and staying ahead of new technology,” Kevin says. “When it comes down to it, our job is all about helping people. Our main mission is to help owners take care of their houses and help tenants with housing—all while providing a great level of service,” he says.

To give back to his local community and professional sphere, Kevin is active in a variety of civic and charitable causes. He is an avid participant in the National Association of Residential Property Managers and has twice served as a local chapter president. He also served as the Chairman of the Property Management Committee at the area’s Board of Realtors, and is part of the Texas Association of Realtors Political Action Committee. He’s also passionate about giving back to worthy charities, including the area’s SAM Ministries to support the local homeless community and the Wounded Warrior Project. He also supports the Warrior With Heart organization, supporting military personnel and first responders.

As for the future of his business, Kevin and his team have some exciting, industry-altering developments forthcoming. Kevin and his partners are currently working on a new type of insurance offering geared toward property owners. This service will be exclusively available through professional property management companies and will be a huge benefit to property management companies and property owners. Aside from that, Kevin and his team plan on staying ahead of the curve when it comes to new technology, while always considering ways to streamline their services for their clients’ benefit.

All in all, Kevin has cemented Liberty Management’s stellar reputation by ensuring that each generation of clientele receives the same dependable, industry-elite service. With thirty-five years of experience at his back, along with an incisive eye toward the future, the years still to come are sure to bring about the best yet for Kevin Knight and his team at Liberty Management.
