Kevin Ortner first joined the Renters Warehouse in 2009 when he opened the first Renters Warehouse franchise in Phoenix, AZ. His franchise has been consistently awarded with best-in-class business and culture awards, and reached a record 2000 properties under management for a single franchise in 2016.
After the 2015 retirement of Renters Warehouse founder Brenton Hayden, Ortner went on to take the reins of the entire company, helping see it through monumental growth nationwide and a majority share private equity investment. Kevin is a two-time honoree of the American Stevie Business Awards, Executive of the Year award (2015 and 2016) and received an International Stevie Business Award for his achievements as CEO of Renters Warehouse. His leadership helped the company become a seven-time honoree of the prestigious Inc. 500|5000 list of fastest growing privately held companies in America. Renters Warehouse now manages more than $3 billion in residential real estate, servicing over 13,000+ investors across 19,000+ residential homes over 42 markets and 25 states.
