Our Promise

At MKG Real Estate Group, we don’t just invest in properties — we transform them.

About Us

As both landlords and property managers, we personally oversee and maintain every apartment we rent, ensuring quality, comfort, and reliability from the inside out. Our hands-on approach means we know each space intimately — because we’re the ones who renovated it.

Whether you’re looking to rent in Troy or Altamont, you’ll find clean, updated homes in vibrant neighborhoods — with more improvements always in the works. With an eye toward growth, we continue to acquire and revitalize properties, moving beyond city contracts to build lasting value for our tenants and community.

At MKG, we purchase and upgrade each property ourselves, ensuring every space meets our high standards for quality, comfort, and style. Whether you’re searching for your next home or looking to settle into a vibrant community, we’re here to make the experience seamless. With hands-on management and a personal touch, MKG is your trusted source for reliable, well-maintained housing.

Our Team


Founder

James Kennedy

James Kennedy is a seasoned real estate developer and master carpenter whose career began with a deep appreciation for history and craftsmanship. He gained early recognition for restoring historic properties with a focus on both architectural integrity and financial viability. Today, he continues to blend his respect for heritage with a strong commitment to sustainability—evident in initiatives like opening a community garden, converting all vehicles (save for his motorcycle) to electric, and planting hundreds of trees on land in Green County. When he’s not revitalizing buildings or investing in greener communities, James finds joy in gardening, backpacking, reading, and most of all, spending time with his daughter.
