Who we are, how this works, and why it matters.
Short version: we partner with leading real estate services companies to create value, ensure succession, and accelerate growth — while preserving local leadership and identity. Longer version below.
Property management is local. We intend to keep it that way.
The communities people live in, the boards they serve on, the neighbors they rely on — these aren’t just line items on a balance sheet. They’re shaped by the people who guide them and make decisions on their behalf.
Property management has always been a local business because great service depends on relationships, judgment, and an understanding of the communities being served. As the industry grows and consolidates, we believe scale should strengthen those qualities, not replace them. Continuum’s Partnership model combines the resources and capabilities of a national organization with local leadership, local autonomy, and shared ownership — allowing our Partners to remain close to their clients while gaining the advantages of being part of something larger.
We didn’t invent your business. We’re here to help it grow.
When you partner with Continuum, your name stays on the door, your team stays in place, and your relationships stay yours. What changes is the resources behind you — purchasing power, shared expertise, and a network of leaders solving the same problems you are.
We measure success the way you do: by the strength of the relationships you keep, not just the size of the platform you join.
If you’re building something worth protecting, let’s talk.
Every partnership starts with a conversation, not a term sheet. We’d like to understand your business, your goals, and what you’re protecting before we talk about what a partnership could look like.
The Leaders Behind the Partnership
Marcus Mayo is the Founder and CEO of Continuum Companies, an integrated platform providing property management and residential services to HOA communities. Continuum has grown into one of the largest property management platforms in North America, serving over 3,000 communities and 350,000 homes. Previously, Marcus worked in private equity and at McKinsey and he is a graduate of Morehouse College, a BBB Institute Board Member, YPO Philadelphia member, and proud husband and father of three.
Jeff Nixon is Chief Investment Officer of Continuum Companies, where he leads M&A execution and integration planning. He joined Continuum in 2016 as Chief Operating Officer, and his role evolved alongside the company’s growth from a single-market operator into an acquisitive, multi-market platform — today he owns the deal pipeline end to end, from sourcing and structuring through diligence, closing, and post-close integration planning. Before Continuum, Jeff structured credit for operating businesses and real estate transactions at Wells Fargo. Previously, he founded and operated an e-commerce furniture distribution business, which he later sold to a regional strategic, after beginning his career in real estate investment banking at Bluestone Capital. Jeff holds a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Economics from Harvard University.
James Turner is the Chief Financial Officer of Continuum Companies. He joined in 2017, the company’s third employee, and went on to build the finance and accounting organization. James leads financial strategy, integration, and team development across a high-volume M&A environment. He is known for partnering with executives to unlock value through disciplined financial leadership, technology transformation, and sustainable growth initiatives. James grew up working in his father’s flooring and snowplowing businesses, started his first business, a landscaping company, at twelve, then ran a lacrosse gear business in high school and college. He is a graduate of Temple University’s Fox School of Business, a member of the Union League of Philadelphia, and a snowboarder.
As Chief Integration Officer at Continuum Companies, Chris Baxter leads the integration of newly acquired partner brands, bringing their technology, finance, HR, and operations onto the platform so each business runs better than it did on its own. That’s where the value in a deal gets created, and how sellers come to see Continuum as the partner to choose rather than just another buyer. He also leads Continuum’s AI initiatives across the portfolio and manages IT infrastructure, building tools that remove the manual lift from migrations, reporting, and reconciliation. He spent many years in property management operations before this role and holds the PCAM designation through CAI — you can’t integrate a business at scale without understanding how it runs day to day and earning the trust of its leadership.
Chris Maus is a partner at Continuum Companies and the CEO of CAMCO, Five Circle Property Management, and Fineman Management. As the oldest and first partner to join the Continuum partnership, Chris has played a central role in shaping the group’s culture, operational standards, and growth strategy across more than two decades in the industry. With over 35 years as a business owner and 20 years dedicated to community management, Chris brings deep expertise in multi-brand operations, client service, and team development. He sits on the Vantaca Advisory Board and is actively involved in nonprofit leadership throughout the Philadelphia region. His approach to the Partnership is straightforward: build lasting brands, develop great people, and never stop raising the bar.
Christina D’Annunzio serves as President of Five Circle Property Management and Ascend Management Services Group. With nearly two decades of experience in community association management, Christina brings deep expertise in governance, financial oversight, operational efficiency, and board relations. She began her career with CAMCO Management, advancing through a range of roles and ultimately serving as Chief of Staff before assuming leadership of Five Circle and Ascend. She is known for building strong teams, implementing scalable systems, and leveraging technology to enhance transparency, communication, and service delivery. Christina holds the industry’s highest professional credential, the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM®) designation.
