Keyrenter Property Management Welcomes Two New Franchise Owners in Texas and Florida

November 12, 2026 // Franchising.com // MIDVALE, UT – Keyrenter Property Management recently expanded their brand footprint into two highly coveted markets - Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and South Florida. According to recent market data gathered from public records and online rental listings, a robust DFW job market is boosting rental activity, with just over 40% of households renting vs. owning. Median rent for single-family homes averages $2,693/mo., a 5.7% increase year-over-year. As for the South Florida market snapshot, demand for single-family rentals continues to outpace multi-family and bustling new construction starts have added much-needed stability to the tenant-negotiable market compared to years past.

“As Keyrenter moves into the North Texas and South Florida markets, both of these new deals will be a huge boost to our growing family of franchisee partners,” stated Nate Tew, co-founder and CEO of Keyrenter Property Management. “Both Philip Kligman and Tom Baron are no strangers to the residential real estate investing space, which makes them uniquely qualified to represent our interests in these new territories. As far as we’re concerned, their newly established presences will be a winning combination for Keyrenter Property Management, and we look forward to supporting their efforts to build successful real estate operations.”

Below is specific information about both new Keyrenter franchisees:

Philip Kligman – Keyrenter Property Management Boca Raton

Philip Kligman will own and operate Keyrenter Property Management Boca Raton, serving portions of South Florida, including Pompano Beach, Wellington, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth and Delray Beach. The territory includes established residential communities with opportunities to serve rental property owners and residents through professional property management services.

Originally based in Montreal, Kligman has longstanding family ties to South Florida and plans to relocate to the region as he prepares to launch his Keyrenter business in early 2027. He’s currently enrolled in Keyrenter’s comprehensive training program. His career reflects a strong background in both residential and commercial real estate, beginning as an independent consultant with a proficiency in prospecting areas with favorable demographic trends. Kligman brings a turnkey focus to the property management side of the business, having successfully managed investments and transactions on behalf of prominent brokers. With several real estate holdings of his own, he has a knack for managing tenant relationships and handling the day-to-day responsibilities of being a reputable landlord and property owner.

“One of the things that most resonated with me throughout the investigative process was the idea of being in business for myself, but never by myself,” stated Philip Kligman, owner of Keyrenter Property Management Boca Raton. “I see a strong parallel with Keyrenter’s franchise model, where you have the independence of ownership while still being part of a larger team. But I think what excites me most is the opportunity to impact people’s lives through real estate. Because behind every property is a tenant or landlord with their own story to tell, and being able to help them navigate important moments through real estate is something I’ve always found to be meaningful.”

Tom Baron – Keyrenter Property Management Flower Mound

Following on the heels of the Kligman signing is new Keyrenter franchisee Tom Baron, who will own and operate Keyrenter Property Management Flower Mound, in a North Texas territory that extends into portions of the surrounding Dallas suburbs of Denton, Lewisville, Lake Dallas, Krum, Ponder, Argyle, and Aubrey. This deal brings the number of Keyrenter franchisees in the DFW area – known locally as the Metroplex - to five total, each strategically located to serve a growing population fast-approaching nine million residents in all.

Baron brings 16 years of residential real estate experience, including work with Keller Williams and eXp Realty, along with a background in business ownership. He and his family also own and manage seven single-family rental properties in Florida, giving him firsthand experience with the operational demands of residential property management. A self-made entrepreneur from the age of 22, Tom has previously owned an import business, operated numerous retail outlets, and a restaurant. As for his long-term goals, Tom, who still maintains a real estate license in the state of New York, is looking to expand his residential investment portfolio to establish a more stable and sustainable financial future for his children.

“Joining the Keyrenter Property Management network offers us several significant advantages as we launch our entrepreneurial franchise venture,” stated Tom Baron, owner of Keyrenter Property Management Flower Mound. “I’m looking to leverage my previous real estate and business development experience with the proven business model, training, and support that an established and respected brand like Keyrenter offers. Ultimately, my goal is to build a successful property management enterprise, backed by a strong team, recurring revenue, and significant long-term value.”

As to what initially attracted both Kligman and Baron to the Keyrenter Property Management franchise opportunity, both new owners credit a close-knit alignment between the brand’s core values and their own personal beliefs – especially as it pertains to Keyrenter’s family-centric culture. Both were also duly impressed with the brand’s well-established systems and processes, as well as the innovative, built-in technologies that define the authentic value of Keyrenter’s proven business model.

Both Kligman and Baron plan to launch their Keyrenter Property Management operations in Q1 of 2027.
