Realty Place is not new to the property management business. With the recent down turn in the real estate market, a lot of real estate companies, ones who swore they would "Never" do property management, decided to "Get In" to property management just to help their "Bottom Line".

Realty Place has been in property management since 1988. We have key personnel in place to handle the most difficult situations, and support both tenants and landlords. Recently we upgraded our systems and policies to help with communications between our tenants and landlords. We use state of the art software to track property performance, tenants, payments, HOA violations, maintenance, ETC. Tenants have the ability to log in to their account on line and request information, see their statements, request maintenance, and even make payments. Landlords have access 24 hours a day to their accounts as well. They can access their statements, reports and keep track of maintenance requests and repairs, as well as any expenses.

Realty Place wants to be your property manager. Give us a call or stop the office for more information about our services and how we can help you manage your real estate portfolio.
