Ready to Go the Extra Mile

Marathon Management: Dedicated to the Long Run

Marathon Management has been going the extra mile since 2005 as a full-service property management company in the greater Memphis area. We currently manage over 2,000 residential properties and an additional 450 commercial leases in partnership with our sister company, Gregory Realty. With our experienced team, we work both in the office and in the field to ensure that operations run smoothly.

The need for a rental management company was realized when its founders, Hulet and Jackie Gregory, needed a more efficient way to oversee the rental properties that they and their investors owned. The name of the company came from one of Hulet’s favorite activities which is long-distance running. The name is fitting, because much like long-distance running, managing property takes time, effort, and dedication in order to achieve excellent results and reach goals. By embodying those qualities, Marathon Management seeks to help owners reach all their investment goals by providing first-rate service.

Serving as an intermediary between property owners and residents, we are responsible for tenant placement, collections, maintenance, paying operating expenses as needed, as well as overseeing vacant properties. Since we handle all the steps within the rental process, this allows our clients to have limited involvement while collecting cash flow from their investment properties.  Our goal is to provide property owners comprehensive services to meet their specific needs, while providing quality homes for our valued residents!

Our Services

Rental Payments

We know that time is of the essence, which is why we offer quick and easy payment options to our tenants. Tenants can pay with either direct online payments, directly to our office with a cashier's check or or through our RentMoney program. The RentMoney program allows tenants to pay their rent with a cash payment at the closest Walmart, Kroger, or Ace Cash Express.

Property Management

In the years since its inception, Marathon Management has grown into a full-scale residential and commercial property management operation. The staff oversees every facet of the management process. Maintenance, Collections, and Tenant Placement all happen in-house, while a team of full-time Project Managers oversee our properties in the field.

Tenant Placement

The keystone element of a successful rental operation is having a reliable tenant. Our tenant screening process is backed by a team of licensed realtors and leasing consultants. We focus on efficient marketing of your rental space and an extensive background screening on all applicants. We are dedicated to finding the right tenant for your property.
