The History of PM Made Easy
PM Made Easy™ (formerly LandlordSource) was founded by industry pioneer Jean Storms, MPM®, to fill a gap in the property management world. At a time when few reliable tools existed, Jean created customizable manuals and systems that brought clarity, structure, and professionalism to the industry.
In 2017, Kathleen Richards, MPM®, a NARPM® National Instructor and former Broker/Owner of a CRMC®-designated, award-winning company acquired PM Made Easy. Since then, she has updated and expanded the templates, keeping them current with industry best practices and evolving compliance standards.
Today, PM Made Easy continues to grow under Kathleen’s leadership, supporting property managers through every stage of business: from startup to growth and beyond.
