How We Work Together

Renting, buying, maintaining a home, or growing a portfolio — four Goodman companies, each built to carry you into the next.

01 Harvey Goodman Property Management

Renting, made easy.

Full-service management for residential and commercial properties across the tri-state area — responsive maintenance, easy online payments, and a local team that knows your name.

02 Harvey Goodman, Realtor®

Ready to buy? Let's talk about your lease.

Purchase your next home through one of our agents, and ask about The Goodman Move — becoming a homeowner shouldn't be held back by a rental agreement.

03 HGR Homes

Repairs and maintenance, open to everyone.

From small repairs and punch-list items to seasonal yard work, HGR Homes serves any homeowner nearby — not only Goodman residents and clients — whether you're moving in, moving out, or simply staying put.

04 Goodman Storage

Space to bridge the gap.

Downsizing, staging a home to sell, or just need room between addresses — our storage facilities cover the in-between, so you're not calling a fifth company to do it.

Introducing The Goodman Move

Renting today, buying tomorrow? Make The Goodman Move.

With The Goodman Move, qualifying Goodman residents who buy a home through a Harvey Goodman Agent may have their lease-break fee waived — so if the right home closes before your lease is up, you can move forward without feeling stuck.

  • One team, start to finish — our property managers and Harvey Goodman agents work together on timing, introductions, and the details as you get closer to moving.
  • Guidance you don't have to figure out alone — we'll help you understand the timing and walk you through the home-buying process.
  • Room for the in-between — if there's a gap between moving out and moving in, Goodman Storage may be able to help with the transition.

The Goodman Move is available to qualifying residents of Harvey Goodman Property Management apartments who purchase through a Harvey Goodman Agent. Program terms, eligibility, and lease-break fee waivers are confirmed individually — talk with your property manager or contact us to learn whether you qualify.

And If You're an Investor

Property management built for your portfolio, not just your tenants.

Harvey Goodman Property Management handles leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and financial reporting, so your investment runs itself. When it's time to grow, our Realtors help you find the next acquisition, and HGR Homes keeps every unit ready between tenants.

The Discipline Behind It

We Run on EOS®

Coordinating four companies takes more than shared ownership — it takes a shared operating system. Our leadership teams run on the Entrepreneurial Operating System, the same framework used by thousands of companies to stay aligned, focused, and accountable.

Vision

Every leadership team is clear on where its company is going and how it plans to get there.

Traction

Quarterly priorities ("Rocks") and weekly Level 10 meetings keep the right work moving every week, not just at planning time.

Health

Clear roles and open, direct communication keep our leadership teams functioning well — so that discipline shows up in how we treat residents, clients, and each other.

The Goodman Family of Companies

Everything You Need. One Trusted Name.

Four interconnected companies working together to serve every stage of your real estate journey across Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Our Story

From One Man's Vision to the Valley's Most Trusted Name

After relocating from Akron to St. Clairsville in the mid-1940s, Harvey Goodman saw a need for housing in the growing community. He purchased farms, developed subdivisions, and built homes — then in 1957 opened a small real estate brokerage with a single salesperson. What started as one man's vision has grown into a family of companies and a leading provider of real estate and related services across the mid-Ohio Valley.

Mid-1940s

Harvey Goodman relocates from Akron to St. Clairsville with his family and begins developing much-needed housing.

1957

Harvey opens a small real estate brokerage — the first days of the firm now known as Harvey Goodman, Realtor®.

Late 1970s

Harvey passes the business to his son John Goodman, whose leadership carries the company forward for decades.

Today

The third generation leads a family of companies serving the mid-Ohio Valley across Ohio, West Virginia & Pennsylvania.

Leadership

The Family Behind the Name

For nearly seven decades, the Goodman family has led with vision, integrity, and a deep commitment to the communities they serve — a legacy that today's leadership carries forward.

In Memory of Our Founders
Harvey Goodman, Founder
First Generation · Founder

Harvey Goodman

After relocating from Akron to St. Clairsville in the mid-1940s with his wife Isabelle and children Reynette and John, Harvey saw a need for housing and set out to meet it — purchasing farms, developing subdivisions, and building homes. In 1957 he opened a small real estate brokerage that would become Harvey Goodman, Realtor®. His first venture, a 90-acre farm on West Main Street, became the Hillview Heights development and helped St. Clairsville grow. Harvey and his family also helped spearhead the St. Clairsville Food Pantry and Memorial Park, a cherished community landmark to this day.

John Goodman, Former President
Second Generation · Former President

John Goodman

In the late 1970s, Harvey passed the responsibility of running the family business to his son John. Under John's vision and leadership, land development, construction, and real estate sales all flourished — establishing Harvey Goodman, Realtor® and its affiliated companies as the premier real estate firm in the region. His developments include Silver Maple Estates, the Oakview Addition, the Valeview Subdivisions, and Plaza West, a popular commercial center offering banking, grocery, dining, medical services, and offices west of St. Clairsville.

Our Team in the Community

The Same Team That Cares for Your Property Cares for Our Community.

On the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley’s Sandy O’Haver Day of Caring, our team traded the office for Memorial Park — giving the Rotary Pavilion a top-to-bottom refresh.

The pavilion was built in 1996 through the efforts of the Rotary Club of St. Clairsville and Goodman. Nearly 30 years later, our team was back to care for what the family helped build — cleaning fans and fixtures, replacing bulbs, clearing decades of staples, and refreshing the kitchen and restrooms. Community service doesn’t always mean building something new. Sometimes it means taking care of what our community already has.

Built for the community in 1996. Cared for by the community in 2026.
