About Nathan Levinson

Reaching New Levels Of Success

Nathan Levinson is the Founder, President, and CEO of Royal York Property Management, one of Canada’s leading property management companies. Starting with nothing, Nathan built Royal York into a thriving company managing over 25,000 rental properties valued at over $10.1 billion in real estate assets. Royal York offers property owners guaranteed rental income, tenant placement, property maintenance, and legal services, becoming a trusted name in the property management industry.

Nathan’s entrepreneurial journey began at an early age. He was a volunteer paramedic in North Jersey, which inspired him to create One United EMS, now a leading provider of 911 emergency services in the region. Nathan also pioneered the world’s first rental guarantee, a program designed to give property owners consistent rental income, regardless of tenant payment issues, a concept he first explored in his high school thesis.

In 2010, Nathan founded Royal York Property Management with the vision of improving property management and providing reliable income solutions for property owners. Over the next decade, he reinvested every penny back into the business and worked tirelessly, growing Royal York into a top-rated property management company that delivers excellence and innovation.

Nathan has also spearheaded the development of the RYPM Application, a comprehensive platform designed to revolutionize property management. The app integrates AI technology to simplify tenant placement, simplify lease signing, and provide AI-driven document screening. It also offers real-time maintenance tracking and property evaluations to help landlords make informed decisions. For both property owners and tenants, the RYPM app also provides legal support, helping them navigate Landlord and Tenant Board matters in Ontario. Whether it's eviction proceedings, rent disputes, or other legal concerns, the app guides users through the process, making it easy for those who are unfamiliar with LTB procedures to get the support they need.

Nathan Levinson’s vision and leadership continue to drive Royal York Property Management, One United EMS, and the RYPM Application, establishing him as a leader in both property management and emergency services, with a reputation for innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Achievements

“My childhood didn’t help me grow to where I am today. Instead, it has helped me take punches – have the ability to say ‘I hit rock bottom, it can’t get much worse than this, so why not try it?’ Giving me the guts to try different things, never be afraid, and take risks”

Commitment to Community and Public Service

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Nathan Levinson is deeply committed to giving back to his community. He serves as a Lieutenant in an Emergency Medical Service, where he provides critical medical assistance while demonstrating leadership and resilience in high-pressure situations.

Through the Nathan Levinson Charity Fund, Nathan donates 15% of his profits to support adolescent children in foster care, providing mentorship and resources to help them become the best versions of themselves and pursue their dreams. However, due to the current economic challenges facing many families in Canada, Nathan has shifted his focus and is now donating 20% of his profits to help families who are struggling to put food on the table. This contribution is aimed at supporting those affected by Canada’s economic downturn, making sure these families receive the assistance they need during difficult times.

His forward-thinking approach continues to drive the growth of Royal York Property Management, while his dedication to community service ensures that his influence extends beyond his business, making a lasting impact on those in need.
