Central Properties Management LLC about
Our Team

Ben Sliwka, Owner & Principal Broker

Central Properties Management & Sales was born as a division of Central Properties in January 2011 and matured exclusively through client referrals over the following decade. In late-2020, CPM spun off of Central Properties to become its own autonomous unit and has continued to grow alongside its brother-company to today and into the distant future.

Owned and managed by Ben Sliwka, CPM continues its mission of providing concierge-level property management services throughout Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland.

With a degree in accounting from Syracuse University, Ben enjoyed a diverse background including CPA Firms, Pension Administration Firms, Regional Banking Compliance, Officer and non-Officer Director roles on not-for-profit Boards and Securities Brokerage Principal, ultimately helping co-found Central Properties as its COO. He brought this unusual background into the regional property management market in 2011 and serves CPM’s clients with a broad-based knowledge of our client’s needs and goals for their property, whether it is a long-loved family home, a new investment property among several, or a home you will only be away from for a couple of years. We have personally experienced each of these circumstances.

Born in Washington, D.C. at Sibley Memorial and raised in Virginia and Upstate New York, he is a recent empty-nester with children in Breckenridge, CO and Albany, NY.

Our Story and Why Owners Work With Us

Our Story

Central Properties Management & Sales was originally born in January 2011 as a division of Central Properties. More than a decade later, we have grown entirely through word of mouth and client referrals, and we are proud of our client family.

Why Work With Us?

We believe trust is earned, not granted. We are licensed and insured for both commercial liability and professional liability and we ask that you include us on your home’s new landlord insurance. We have references and strive for reviews from our clients. Our hope is to give you every reason to join our client family and remain for years and years to come. And should you ever decide you wish to grow in (or even exit) the world of investment property ownership, we can help you with that too.

We're Jet Renovation, a roofing company, and we recently completed a roof replacement for one of Central's properties. It was a pleasure working with Jennifer Hobbs—her communication was excellent and made the entire process seamless. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and we look forward to continuing this great partnership!

We are a couple living abroad, and we're grateful to have found Central Properties Management to manage our two rental properties. It is reassuring to know that CPM is looking out for our best interests while going out of the way to maintain a great working relationship with our renters. In the end everyone wins.

Central Properties has managed my rental condo for five years. Ben and his team are outstanding property managers. They have always obtained excellent, reliable tenants for my property and are efficient and meticulous in ensuring the property is well-maintained. Ben has deep experience in property management. I know I can always rely on his sound judgement and practical advice.

Over more than a decade, Ben Sliwka has done a superb job managing our rental properties. He is an expert at marketing homes to their best advantage. Better yet, he keeps them rented by making renters truly feel at home and quickly resolving any issues, big or small. Ben even makes the record keeping easy! He's the best property manager in the DMV by a long shot.

Ben and his team are top notch. When there's an issue, he personally makes sure it is remedied and often has to make decisions on the spot, which has been invaluable. If I had to sum up the management in a word, I would say - Competent. It's been a great, stress-free, experience! My thanks to the team.
