The Team
Before you call, you’re going to vet us. That’s the right instinct. Here’s who you’d actually be working with.
Rising Tide acquires local property management companies and keeps them local. Every person on this team has a specific reason for being here. Tim worked his way from leasing assistant to COO inside a property management company and understands what these companies are worth to the people who built them. Dmitry builds the systems that make the model work. Blake started Rising Tide because he believes local operators should be able to reach real scale on their own terms.
Founder
Blake founded Rising Tide to give strong independent operators a path to real scale while keeping their company local. He comes at property management from the systems and economics side, which means he’s direct about how these businesses actually make money, where the ceilings are, and how firms get valued. The goal is to be the honest answer an owner has been looking for.
Head of Acquisitions
Tim started in property management as a part-time leasing assistant in 2009 and finished as COO, having helped grow the company to roughly 7,000 units and 180 people before it was acquired. After that, he ran the integration team on about 25 acquisitions and watched what the first year actually does to a place. He was National President of NARPM in 2023. His job at Rising Tide is to find the right companies and tell an owner straight whether we are the right home for what they built.
