About Us

Robert Massey Sr. founded Robert Massey Company in 1956. His presence and well-respected involvement in the real estate industry was acknowledged with many prestigious appointments. His years of proven leadership in local and state Realtor associations along with serving three terms as a governor-appointed real estate commissioner laid a strong foundation for the business. The company’s reputation as a family-owned and operated real estate sales and property management firm was achieved from his 60+ years of dedicated service to residential sales and rental property management. In his later years, Mr. Massey served as a revered mentor and consultant to the company until his passing in 2020.

RMC Who We Are

Today, that same leadership and dedication to the industry is carried forward by Mr. Massey’s son, Robert Massey Jr., the current president and owner. Maintaining that long-standing reputation for quality guidance and trustworthy services that individuals, families and businesses in the Greater Louisville area deserve, Robert Massey Company provides the Louisville Ky. area with experienced, top quality real estate property management and real estate sales experts to help buyers, sellers and investors succeed. These experienced professionals help clients meet their goals while taking the hassle out of the sales, purchase and management processes.

Robert (Rob) Massey, Jr., CPM, RMP President and Owner

Rob’s earliest involvement in his father’s real estate business was cutting grass for company managed properties and as a young adult, providing maintenance at company managed properties. Once graduating with a degree in Business from the University of Louisville Rob worked as the company bookkeeper then full-time property manager. He obtained his real estate license and later became involved in real estate brokerage. With a wealth of experience gained, Rob became an active member in various real estate property management associations ultimately serving as President of each: Kentucky Chapter #59 of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), the Louisville Apartment Association, and the Louisville Chapter of National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). Co-owning and operating the business since the early 1990’s, Rob became sole owner of Robert Massey Company in 2011.

The RMC property management business scaled back in 2000 as Rob pursued a new business venture, RentalHouses.com, an Internet Listing Service. The concept was originally developed to better serve his own clients as, at that time, the newspaper was the only means for advertising smaller-unit apartment buildings and single-family homes. RentalHouses.com grew to become an internet tool for advertising and locating rental houses used all across the nation. In 2007, RentalHouses.com was sold to Primedia, Inc. (NYSE symbol PRM). Rob remained a consultant with Primedia until 2011 when that division of the business was sold again to a different company.

During the peak of RentalHouses.com, Rob traveled the country speaking with and selling to the most successful property managers in the U.S. Along the way, he was provided access to the best practices and tools in the property management industry. In 2011, Rob returned to Louisville with his newly acquired knowledge, information and skills growing RMC into the successful full-scale business that it is today. Using the latest technological tools available to property managers, Rob and his highly trained and experienced staff provide high quality housing and superior property management services to local communities consistent with the long-standing business values of RMC, successfully serving clients and renters since 1956.

Early in her career, working for a large local law firm as a legal assistant, Teri gained a great deal of knowledge about contracts and legal documents. Those skills proved invaluable when she went to work for a family construction business overseeing operations and company personnel. Over her 20-year tenure there, she rose to the position of General Manager. Utilizing her skills in negotiation, she was instrumental in acquiring another business to enhance company revenues for periods of the year when business would otherwise be slow. A testament to her success, under Teri’s leadership the company grew from one construction crew to five, resulting in a dramatic overall increase in net revenue.

In 2005, Teri joined Robert Massey Company and shortly thereafter was promoted to General Manager, overseeing daily operations and all other aspects of the business. Her vast knowledge of the industry, organizational skills, and strong commitment to excellence, has earned her the respect of clients, residents, merchants, vendors and colleagues. Operating with a great sense of urgency to get things done and much attention to detail, she is a valued asset to the company.
