About Us
Built by Nashville Real Estate Professionals
Cardinal Property Management was founded by Nashville real estate professionals Tim Schmid and Sam Gray on a simple conviction: every home deserves to be cared for the way its owner would. Drawing on more than a decade of hands-on experience across Nashville's luxury market, we bring the eye of an owner, the discipline of a fiduciary, and the warmth of a trusted partner to every property we manage.

OUR SERVICES
Our Management Plans
Every owner's goals are different. That's why we offer two thoughtfully designed plans — one for owners who need expert leasing only, and one for those who want complete, hands-off management from day one. Both are built around the same standard of care.
When your client needs to lease their home, you shouldn't have to choose between helping them now and protecting your future business with them. Our referral program is built on a simple promise: we handle the management — and your client comes back to you for every future sale.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Submit your client through our referral form.
2. We reach out to explore the right management plan for their property.
3. When they sign a property management agreement with Cardinal, we pay you $500 as a thank-you.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU:
We don't compete for your sales business. Your client remains yours for every future transaction.
Every partnership comes with a written agreement mirroring the duration of your client's management contract.
Clear, proactive communication — from the moment we engage your client, through every renewal.
Elevated Ownership.
We envision a future where property management moves beyond transactions — rooted in faith, transparency, and a relentless commitment to the trust homeowners place in us.

Next Steps
Our Onboarding Process
From first conversation to fully leased, every step is handled with precision, strategy, and stewardship — so ownership feels seamless from the day we meet.
1.
Discovery Consultation
We start with a conversation — walking through your property, understanding your ownership goals, and aligning on the right plan. No pressure, no templates. Just a clear picture of how we'd steward your home.
2.
Property Preparation
Once we're partnered, we prepare your property for market. Professional photography, a data-backed pricing strategy, and a marketing plan designed to attract the right tenant — not just the first one.
3.
Marketing & Tenant Placement
Your property goes live across every major rental platform. We manage showings, vet every applicant through our full screening process, and recommend the tenant most likely to respect your home and honor their lease.
4.
Management Launch
Once the lease is signed, stewardship begins. Rent collection, maintenance coordination, and monthly reporting — we take the day-to-day off your plate so ownership stays effortless from that day forward.

FAQ
FAQ
Find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions.
01
How do I know if my property is the right fit for Cardinal PM?
Cardinal PM specializes in Nashville's luxury single-family homes, high-rise condos, and investment portfolios — but we don't define "luxury" by price point alone. We define it by the kind of homeowner we serve: someone who expects meticulous care, clear communication, and genuine partnership from their management partner. If that sounds like you, we're likely a fit. The best way to find out is a quick consultation — no pressure, just a conversation about your property and what you're looking for.
