About AKME Property Management
We've Been in Your Shoes
AKME Property Management was founded by industry veterans who experienced the same frustrations you have: hidden fees, unresponsive service, and being treated as an afterthought by large management companies.
David Zahabian and Alexis Guichard combined their decades of experience—35 years of hands-on property ownership and CFO-level financial expertise—to create the property management company they wished existed when they needed one.
Meet the Founders
David Zahabian - Managing Director
David brings 35 years of real ownership experience, having managed over 1,000 units across residential, commercial, and industrial properties. With deep contractor expertise and hands-on operational knowledge, he understands what repairs actually cost and how buildings really work. When your building has an issue, you're getting advice from someone who's been exactly where you are.
Alexis Guichard - Chief Financial Officer
With 15+ years at firms including First New York Securities, REFCO, and Traditional Securities and Derivatives Inc., Alexis brings institutional-grade financial management to an industry that often operates with unclear accounting. His MBA in Financial Management from Pace University ensures your building's finances are handled with Wall Street rigor but explained in terms that actually help you make decisions.
Our Mission
We believe property management should be straightforward: transparent pricing, impartial recommendations, responsive service, and expert compliance guidance. Every decision is guided by four principles:
Why Buildings of all sizes?
While some firms focus only on large portfolios and others lack the capacity for complex projects, AKME serves buildings of all sizes across all five boroughs—from boutique co-ops to properties requiring large-scale capital improvements. Every building deserves professional expertise, personal attention, and pricing that makes sense for your scale.
Whether you have 15 units or 500, you get the same commitment to transparency, impartiality, and expert guidance.
Built by Owners, For Owners
AKME means "pinnacle" in Greek—representing our commitment to peak property management. But more importantly, it represents our understanding that you want your investment to reach its full potential.
We've dealt with difficult tenants, surprise repairs, regulatory deadlines, and the challenge of keeping residents happy while maintaining financial discipline. That experience doesn't just inform our work—it drives our commitment to making property management actually work.
Technology That Works
Our resident portal keeps residents connected and engaged because it's useful—not flashy. Residents handle maintenance requests and payments while you get visibility into operations. We also ensure our vendors use electronic monitoring and digital reporting for faster response and better accountability.
