Sold their Home or closed on they're Dream Home gives me great joy! 

God Bless our Military.

After retiring from the Toyota Corporation with 24 years of service I chose to embark on a new career in real estate. Prior to retiring from Toyota I had begun a rehab business and also started investing in Real Estate. I began by purchasing and rehabbing my own rental inventory, then moved forward and obtained my real estate license. I was able to help clients acquire properties and work with them throughout the rehab process sharing my expertise in this area. These clients also needed a resource for renting their homes after the completion of the rehab process which is how I came to form my rental management business. I began the rental management business due to requests from other owners/investors wanting better control of the properties with the emphasis on customer service. I currently manage over 100 properties in the Jacksonville Metro area (Arlington, Downtown, Northside, Southside, Westside). Contact me if I can help you to make your property work for you.

 Our focus is to find the most qualified rental candidate and to provide my clients the best customer service possible.
