How we got started

Over two decades ago, Bill and his wife, Lori, built a rental management business with properties in California, the Southeast, and the East Coast. After relying on numerous property management firms to manage their portfolio of mostly new construction homes, Bill decided to someday create a property management firm built for investors that also delivers a superb living experience for residents.

Lori and Bill both hold an active California Real Estate salesperson license, and Bill is also a licensed Real Estate Broker. He has represented clients in the sale, acquisition, and leasing of properties in 9 counties across California. During this time, he also worked for another brokerage where he learned the property management business from the inside out and personally managed properties for investors. Bill is also the founder of a real estate referral network named ReloPath. Bill and Lori live in Temecula, CA, and have 5 grown children and six grandkids.

Prior to real estate, and after a well-deserved long sabbatical, Bill spent over 20 years in executive search, primarily helping technology companies identify and attract C-level and senior executives. Some of Bill's clients included well-known companies such as Amazon, Cadence, Charles Schwab, Google, Microsoft, Wells Fargo Bank, Yahoo, and Zazzle.

The name Kosmix has a story of its own: it was a former client of Bill's, backed in part by Bezos Expeditions, which Walmart acquired in 2011, leaving the name Kosmix unused by anyone, including Walmart. Bill said he had always liked the name Kosmix and was happy when it became available.

Kosmix Property Management provides every owner/investor with the same high-level, high-integrity, intensely focused professional service that Bill was known for among his former real estate and corporate clients. Our goal is to make each client's rental property business an outstanding success. Whether your company owns one home or hundreds of residential and/or multi-family properties, you'll receive the same outstanding management from our talented team, built on the same integrity, focus, and accountability that define Kosmix Property Management.

We’re committed not only to building a great company, but to delivering a profitable, stress-free ownership experience and a better rental living experience for the residents we serve. -Bill Donohue, Founder and Managing Partner
