Many years ago I started my property management business with just myself and my wife. That was 1980. I grew my client and account list and found that in order to keep up with the demand for our services we would have to hire more people. We did that and 29 years later my wife and I still run the company. We have added my sister, my brother, two nephews, my daughter, and on occasion my son (he is a school teacher but helps out when he can).
We also employ a number of other great people in our 4 offices. These include friends I have met and hired and people that I have hired and they became friends.
Property Management is not an easy business to run correctly. We do our best to stay educated (I have two of the industry's certifications, Certified Property Manager, CPM, and Master Property Manager, MPM). This is important to know for anyone seeking the services of a property manager. Do you want to use the guy that just put out a shingle or the guy that took and takes the time to learn the profession from the best organizations in the country? Our company is also certifed (CRMC).
We give back to the community as well. I am on the board of directors at Housing Now , a local non profit serving the housing needs of persons with disabilities. I have also served on property management boards both locally and nationally and been the national president of the National Association of Residential Property Managers.
Being a small family business gives us the satifaction of knowing that our success is achieved by our daily effort in education and service to our clients. We don't claim to be the best. But we do claim to try harder. When we falter, we do not quit, we get up, correct our mistakes, and achieve the intended goal.
