Property Management Services
As a highly skilled and dedicated real estate broker, I bring to my career a diverse background in sales and marketing. This combined with a strong work ethic gives me a definite edge in helping you achieve your real estate goals. The real estate industry is constantly evolving. You need a professional who understands this diversity and is positioned to stay ahead of the game.
We operate our business aggressively yet we are easy to work with. We have purposely limited our management services to the Yolo County area so we can give each property the attention to detail that it deserves.
We work with the best maintenance people in the business and at the best prices. You´ll benefit with group discounting and our close supervision of the workers.
Following is a copy of our property management proposal. It aims to answer most your questions regarding what we do and what we charge. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to call us.
We appreciate your interest and we look forward to working with you.
