BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ROSS Management Services, a leader in multifamily property management in the Mid-Atlantic region, today announced it has taken over management responsibilities for four apartment communities totaling nearly 1,200 units in suburban Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Va.

The communities include Ashton Square in Richmond and three communities in Temple Hills, Md.: Marlow Garden and Tower, Marlow Heights and South Pointe.

"ROSS Management Services has an impeccable reputation in the multifamily industry, and is well-known for significantly enhancing asset value through top-notch property performance," said Jay Weingarden, asset manager of the Kohn Family Portfolio, which owns the three Maryland communities. "They are innovative, resident-focused and extremely collaborative with their owner clients. We are very excited to have ROSS Management on our team, and we are looking forward to a longstanding relationship."

ROSS will employ its award-winning online reputation management program to strengthen the communities' reputations on sites such as Yelp, ApartmentRatings and Google, and will significantly enhance the communities' digital marketing and advertising campaigns. ROSS also will implement a series of operational upgrades to improve the resident experience, such as online and mobile rent payment, service requests and account management, and address deferred maintenance.

"We could not be more excited about the opportunity to bring our customer- and technology-centric approach to these four communities to create unparalleled living experiences for their residents," said Dave Miskovich, chief operating officer for ROSS Companies, the parent company of ROSS Management Services. "The owners of these communities are every bit as committed to building vibrant, thriving apartment communities as we are, and these assignments will provide the foundation for a tremendous partnership between ROSS and the Kohn Family Portfolio."
