About Fifth Management

A family company that has quietly done the work for more than forty years.

Fifth Management & Consulting is a family-owned property management company based in Annapolis, Maryland — grown one community and one resident relationship at a time.

Our mission

Make residents proud of where they live.

We believe property management is a service profession. Every interaction — a maintenance call, a recertification, a lease renewal — is a chance to do right by the people who depend on us.

That belief shapes how we hire, how we train, and how we measure success: more than 550 homes across sixteen communities, roughly 95% occupancy, and waitlists at many of our properties.

Our values

What guides our work.

Care

Our communities are homes first. We keep them places people are proud to live.

Consistency

Long-tenured teams, predictable processes, and steady communication with residents.

Integrity

Fair, transparent policies for residents and honest compliance with the programs our communities operate under.

Local roots

Our corporate office is in Annapolis, and our teams live in the counties they serve — Southern Maryland, the Eastern Shore, northern Maryland, and Virginia's Northern Neck are home.

What we do

Full-service management, in-house.

We handle the whole job ourselves: leasing, financials, resident care, unit preparation, maintenance and repairs, and construction management. Our maintenance staff is on call at every community — residents never wait on a third-party contractor to get a door fixed.

Most of our portfolio is affordable apartment communities under the USDA Rural Development Section 515 program — including three senior communities — alongside a market-rate community and a mix of single-family, mixed-use, and office properties. Compliance, certifications, and waitlists are daily work for us, not an afterthought. Every FMC employee is certified in fair housing, with additional training required every year.

Residents do the everyday things online: pay rent, request maintenance, and message the office through the resident portal.

Senior Field Operations

Experienced property managers who work hands-on in the field, alongside our on-site teams: stepping in during staffing transitions, preparing certifications and leases, and supporting communities through their busiest stretches.

Pamela Reeves

Senior Property Manager

Pam has been with Fifth Management & Consulting, Inc. since 2000, more than twenty-five years in affordable housing. As one of the company's most experienced property managers, she goes where she's needed most: stepping in to run a community while a site manager position is vacant, helping new site staff learn the ropes, and working alongside on-site teams through inspections, renovations, and other major projects.

Her work is hands-on: preparing tenant certifications, assisting with leases, marketing, and move-ins, and helping site offices keep resident files and paperwork current. She works directly with residents to resolve concerns and has built lasting relationships at the communities she helps cover.

Pam also lends her experience to FMC's staff-training sessions and helps plan company events and staff gatherings, extending to the staff the same sense of community that residents feel at FMC's properties.

Amanda Wetzel

Senior Property Manager

Amanda Wetzel joined Fifth Management & Consulting, Inc. in 2021 and quickly earned a promotion to Senior Property Manager. She holds a Property Manager License from the District of Columbia Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, a credential that reflects the rigor she brings to the day-to-day details of running a community well.

Amanda's strength is versatility: she steps in to keep a community running when a site role turns over, prepares leases and tenant certifications, supports marketing and lease-up efforts, and gets newer site staff up to speed on FMC's systems and standards. Residents know her as a direct, responsive problem-solver; colleagues know her as the teammate who shows up when a property needs an extra set of experienced hands.

Amanda's dedication to well-run, resident-first communities reflects Fifth Management's broader commitment to property management with care and integrity.
