About Us
After decades of experience in the broadband industry, including negotiating and leading the teams responsible for multifamily access agreements, Multifamily Utility Solutions was founded to bring that expertise directly to multifamily property owners. Today, we leverage our industry knowledge and negotiation experience to help owners maximize the value of their telecommunications agreements and make informed decisions that protect their interests.
As our clients began seeking utility guidance beyond broadband the demand inspired Multifamily Utility Solutions to develop strategic partnerships with other best-in-class companies to meet this need. Multifamily Utility Solutions now does business throughout the US for multifamily property owners with as few as 50 units and others with thousands of units.
Our Management Team
Kevin Gardner
President
Kevin spent nearly 20 years with Comcast and was responsible for managing the team that negotiated telecommunications access agreements with multifamily property owners.
In 2007, Kevin started Telecom Marketing Strategies (Parent company of Multifamily Utility Solutions). In 2017, Multifamily Utility Solutions became its own entity to better serve the needs of Multifamily Property Owners.
For Multifamily Property Owners, Kevin’s experience has resulted in favorable contract terms related to their telecommunications agreements which are important even if Owners do not pay for their residents’ cable. At the request of clients, MUS expanded their services to include electric and gas utilities. Now MUS clients can benefit from improved Net Operating Income in multiple utility services.
MUS serves clients across the country with as few units as a hundred to ones with thousands.
Kevin is also the Author of “Change Your Thinking, Ignite Your Life: What Are You Telling Yourself?” and “Staying Lit! The Owner’s Manual for Your Ignited Life”
