Our Story

Peter Greeves co-founded EJF Real Estate Services in 1996 with his brother Matthew after beginning his real estate career at age 19 with the Edmund J. Flynn Company. Over the past three decades, Peter has helped grow EJF from a local real estate firm into a regional property management company serving communities across Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Hampton Roads, Loudoun County, and Central Virginia. As CEO, Peter leads the company’s strategic direction, growth initiatives, acquisitions, and ongoing investment in technology and operational excellence. His focus is on building scalable systems, developing strong teams, and creating a better management experience for the communities EJF serves. Peter believes the future of community association management will be defined by companies that combine experienced professionals with smarter technology. Artificial intelligence and automation will not replace the relationships at the heart of great management — they will give managers better tools, faster access to information, and more time to focus on solving problems and supporting boards and homeowners. Peter studied Economics at the University of Maryland and is a licensed real estate broker in Washington, DC and Maryland. Credentials: DC Real Estate Broker License | MD Real Estate Broker License
