Minneapolis Property Management
Property Managers Since 1930

Built on Legacy. Driven by Progress.


Founded in 1930 by August Kleinman, Kleinman Realty Co. was among Minnesota’s first professional property management firms — created at a time when the concept of multifamily management itself was still taking shape. Nearly a century later, the company remains one of the Twin Cities’ most trusted names in residential property management. What began as a small family business has evolved into a modern organization serving owners who value integrity, stability, and thoughtful stewardship of their properties.

A Tradition of Doing What’s Right

Through the Great Depression, economic shifts, and waves of industry change, Kleinman has endured by staying true to one simple principle: do what’s right, even when it’s not easy. Long-standing relationships — with residents, vendors, and property owners — continue to define the Kleinman way. Many of those partnerships span decades, built on trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to creating well-maintained, vibrant communities across

Modernization with Purpose

While rooted in tradition, Kleinman’s approach to innovation is anything but old-fashioned. The company embraces technology not for trend’s sake, but to enhance communication, efficiency, and resident experience. From online leasing and mobile maintenance systems to data-driven financial reporting and responsible deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI), every modernization effort is guided by purpose: to better serve clients, empower employees, and elevate the standard of property management.
