In Greater Montreal, where residential real estate continues to grow, Ami Reiss has built a property management business centred on acquiring, upgrading, and operating multi-residential buildings across Montreal, Laval, and the surrounding areas. As the founder of Reiss Management, he focuses on acquiring new properties, ensuring the profitable operation of buildings, and maintaining tenant satisfaction.
Ami Reiss’ approach is shaped by his experiences working across construction, property management, and real estate investment, as well as by navigating the routine pressures and operational, financial, and regulatory pressures that come with the residential real estate business model.
Early Experience in Construction and Management
Ami Reiss grew up in Montreal and is closely connected to the city. After studying business and psychology at Yeshiva University in New York, he returned to Quebec to work at Divco, a major construction company. There, he worked alongside senior leadership and contributed to large-scale projects, including serving as a project manager on the Palais des Congrès.
His construction experience provided a clear understanding of how projects move from planning to completion, which later informed his approach to renovating rental properties. He then transitioned into real estate management through Vista, focusing on leasing and tenant relations, day-to-day operations, and property management.
In 2009, he began investing independently, starting with a multi-unit property. After successfully repositioning and refinancing it, he made a second acquisition, and the business continued to grow from there. In 2016, he established Reiss Management to bring structure to his expanding portfolio, which was held across different ownership entities.
Building a Portfolio in Montreal and Laval
Today, Reiss Management focuses on multi-residential rental properties located across Greater Montreal. Reiss Management’s goal is to acquire undervalued properties with significant upside and realize that potential.
Ami Reiss plays a key management role in these operations, reviewing renovation progress, communicating regularly with building managers, visiting properties, and monitoring new listings that may present opportunities. Much of his time is spent on communication and operational oversight.
Ami Reiss Charges and Court Outcome
In 2019, Ami Reiss faced a legal matter that drew public attention in Quebec. Public reports at the time stated that charges had been filed against him in connection with allegations involving tenants.
According to a Quebec court record dated June 20, 2022, five criminal charges were listed against him. On all five charges, the prosecutor indicated there was “no evidence to offer,” and the court recorded the outcomes as acquittals. No convictions were entered in the matter.

Maintaining a Steady Approach to Growth
Over time, Ami Reiss has shifted toward a more measured and consistent growth strategy. Earlier in his career, his focus was on acquiring properties quickly. Today, he takes on fewer, but larger, buildings at once and dedicates more attention to renovations, tenant relations, and operational performance.
This approach allows for better oversight of each property and supports long-term value. Renovations can be more carefully planned, and communication with staff and tenants becomes more consistent.
Continuing Operations and Property Standards
Ami Reiss’ property management work is built on steady effort, attention to detail, and the ability to navigate challenges while maintaining operations.
As Reiss Management continues to grow across Montreal and Laval, its focus remains on efficient management, consistency, and supporting long-term property operations and consistent service for tenants.
