Jack and Robbie Cowan

Conquest is the community’s premier property management company; it is Tyler’s oldest residential management company and the only large firm which specializes exclusively in the management of investment real estate. The knowledge, dedication, and professional ability of our company personnel are hallmarks of CPM services for the tenants and property owners.

Native Tylerites Jack and Robbie Cowan returned to East Texas from Dallas in the mid 1970s and began to purchase rental properties. Noting the lack of a professional company to manage residential real estate, they soon founded Cowan Property Management, the first in Tyler to specialize in this unique niche market. They operated the business successfully for decades, until they decided to retire in 1997.

Jolie Smith

The company was purchased and re-named in 1997 by Jolie Smith. Jolie had worked with the Cowans for years, earning her Real Estate Agent’s license and, subsequently, her Broker’s license, as she learned the property management business from the ground up. Jolie’s commitment to the industry, company growth, as well as long-term relationships with owners, tenants, and employees, cultivated an atmosphere that helped CPM become an industry cornerstone in Smith County.

Today, Owner/President Ro Allan continues to foster a culture of homeowner and tenant advocacy through her years of experience leading the team at CPM. She believes that a company should have a heart and recognizes the “human element” in all business relationships. CPM’s solid, consistent reputation in the community helps to affirm CPM’s success and reliability.

CPM’s professional staff works diligently to meet the needs of owners, tenants and contractors alike; a rare quality in any business today. Further, CPM fulfills the business expectations of property owners by carefully following applicable regulations and contracting with skilled, reliable contractors. Successfully managing from the middle requires personal attention, tact, honesty, and an abundance of professional knowledge in the property management industry.

Ro Allan and her experienced team of associates and contractors make Conquest Property Management the true standout in Smith County.
