The Legacy Story

People   |  Pride  |  Passion  |  Performance

We are a truly unique enterprise because of the way we were formed and what we value.

Legacy’s story begins with three women, Linda Manning, Mary Howell, and Kathy Sinicropi, who all started in the property management business in different areas and at different times in their lives, but came to work together as leaders within the same company. One of the significant things all three women have in common is that they started at the entry level in the property management industry and learned the business from the ground up. Kathy Sinicropi has since retired, and Mary and Linda remain as the owners of Legacy, LLC. Mary and Linda continue to focus on different aspects of the business while jointly making key decisions for Legacy’s operations.

In January 2015, we purchased the multifamily portfolio from Unified Management Services and formed Legacy, LLC, basing the company’s culture on the principles of People, Passion, Pride, and Performance. Our property management firm centers on a strong belief in personal, professional, ethical, and efficient customer service, and is governed by family values, setting Legacy apart from other property management companies.

The original goals for the three leaders were to protect the 180 employees and co-workers, preserve the contracts and long-term client and employee relationships the partners had established and developed, and avoid turning them over to a third-party ownership group that did not share the history, knowledge, relationships, values, or culture established by the original company founders or this current team.

We accomplished that goal and believe the key factor to Legacy’s success is the continued dedication to our employees and clients. A heightened level of communication, industry involvement, and education has enabled us to understand the specific needs of each community and provide the best possible service to meet those needs.

Legacy’s strong reputation is directly related to our ethics, responsiveness to its clients’ needs and attention to detail. Developing strong partnerships with our clients leads to well-defined mutual goals and clear expectations. This transparency allows Legacy, LLC to quickly achieve and exceed our client’s expectations.

We were awarded our WBENC certificate in 2020 and are proud to promote our Women’s Business Enterprise status. This certification affirms we are a woman-owned business and enables our team more government-sponsored opportunities, the ability to pursue and promote key women’s business issues, and provides access to further mentoring, education, and capacity development.

Linda Manning stated Legacy’s venture perfectly: “It has been an interesting journey since Legacy was established in January 2015, but we have gone back to the basics, which has enabled us to continue to fulfill our mission, pursue our vision, and live our values. We look forward to continued growth and carrying on with the same passion and traditions we’ve created for our employees and clients. We are in this journey for the long haul and look forward to the future.”
