I encounter this semi often as I broker to buyers and also own a PM company so often have to do the same or similar transition as you are looking for, for my clients. 

Waivo is an example of such company.

@Stacey OlsonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

There aren’t many residential development companies operating at this level, which reduces competition and risk.
