Our Story

From Modest Roots to Trusted Property Experts

UMH Foundation was founded in 2006 with a simple mission: to deliver dependable, transparent, and personalized management for residential communities and shared spaces. With hands-on experience in property upkeep and the early support of a small group of committed homeowners, we began managing our very first residential developments.

Almost twenty years later, we’re still proudly managing those same communities. That loyalty speaks volumes about the strong relationships we've cultivated and the consistent quality of service we provide. Our management style remains hands-on, responsive, and built on trust—core values that continue to define everything we do.

Built on Trust, Grown Through Relationships

Since our founding in 2006, UMH Foundation was created with one clear purpose: to transform the way residential property management is delivered. At the time, the industry was dominated by large, impersonal firms—slow to respond, disconnected from the communities they served, and difficult to reach when it mattered most.

We knew there had to be a better way.

From day one, our focus has been on meaningful relationships and direct, open communication. When you reach out to us, you get a real person who knows your property—not a call center or an automated reply. We respond promptly, we listen, and we follow through.

That philosophy has helped us grow—organically, through referrals, trust, and long-standing partnerships. In fact, many of the communities we started managing in our first year are still with us today.

Internally, we’ve built a culture that values team development and long-term careers. This results in experienced managers who know your property inside and out, minimal staff turnover, and higher-quality service across the board.

At UMH Foundation, we remain dedicated to doing things the right way—with integrity, transparency, and relationships that last.
