Clients
Pinnacle's clients include more than 235 institutions, pension funds, private partnerships, foreign investors, sole owners and government housing groups located in North America and Asia. Since we do not own the assets we manage, our company's growth is a testament to our quality service.

As an organization, Pinnacle understands that our success is a measure of the results our company achieves for our clients. Therefore, Pinnacle has expanded and diversified with the purpose of better serving our customers.

History
American Management Services LLC was founded by John Goodman, the current chairman of the company, in 2003. AMS was formed to restructure Pinnacle's business to better serve our clients. Goodman Management Group, as it was originally named, was a Seattle-based multifamily residential management firm.

In 1985, Stan Harrelson, the current chief executive officer of American Management Services, dba Pinnacle, became a partner and the firm was renamed GFS (Goodman Financial Services). Responding to client demands, the company expanded nationwide in the late 1980s.

In 1994, GFS and Phoenix Realty created a partnership and acquired Houston-based Sovereign National Management Company. Operations were merged into Pinnacle Realty Management, now American Management Services LLC, dba Pinnacle, which now boasts more than 5,000 employees.

Philosophy
Pinnacle is built on four basic principles - quality people, a strong customer service culture, solid market knowledge, and quality systems and support capabilities. This foundation combined with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to maximizing clients' real estate investments enables Pinnacle to create superior real estate value for our clients today and into the future.
