Meet the Team


Grove Management was unintentionally built around the needs of the founders. At around the same time, both founders found themselves in the position of purchasing new homes in DC and not wanting to sell their current residences. Utilizing their then primary residences as rental properties was an easy choice, the process however turned out to be anything but. Since opening shop in 2011, Grove Management has built out an impressive portfolio of experience along with the systems and contacts required for a successful investment experience.
