About Us

In 2000, Todd Womack and Ryan Breneman began investing in residential real estate and personally managing their portfolio. Borne out of a desire to create a generational blessing for their children, they grew their real estate holdings to dozens of properties and launched a property management firm to manage their own portfolio. When local, like-minded investors expressed interest in their services, Generation Property Management (GPM) was born.

Over the years, Todd and Ryan built GPM by refusing to accept the status quo and by continually improving the experience of the property owners and tenants they serve. In the process, they have developed three core absolutes:

· Vacant properties eat valuable cash flow.

· Excellent service maximizes tenant retention.

· Tenant retention and expertly managed lease renewals maximize profits.

Generation was founded by investors for investors — the firm intimately understands the perspectives, preferences, and requirements of investors. GPM clients experience the firm’s culture of excellence, passion for outstanding customer service, and urgency needed to keep properties occupied, well-maintained, and profitable.

The work never stops for our team of realtors, contractors, investors, and managers. We don’t believe you should give part of your revenue to a company that doesn’t treat your properties like their own. That’s why we strive for 5-7 day turns, on average, and continue to push the limits of the rental rate market to make sure your investments perform over the long haul.

We stand ready to assist your unique portfolio by leveraging our expertise and reputation to benefit your investment.

Breneman graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1998. He began his experience in real estate as a casual investor over two decades ago while working in medical device sales for several companies ranging from start-ups to Abbott, a Fortune 500 company. Breneman’s corporate experience allowed him to develop the skills to create and execute strategic plans, develop new markets, lead teams, analyze revenue growth, and forecast and model financial data.
