Why EquityTeam?

OuR Track Record / Reputation

It's not easy maintaining a 4+ online rating, especially when you're in the middle of the Owner / Tenant relationship. Our reviews are from real people with real experiences (not paid for) and we're very proud of the reputation we've built (locally and nationally) within the residential property management industry.

Our Team Approach

We believe successful property management requires great people and processes. We will assign a team of three uniquely-skilled professionals to each property:

 

  • PORTFOLIO MANAGER (Owner Advocate)
    You will ALWAYS have an experienced and professional "Portfolio Manager" (account manager) who’s dedicated to the success of your portfolio. Their #1 responsibility is to treat your property like it's their own and to advocate for your best interests.

 

  • PROPERTY SERVICES MANAGER (Property Advocate)
    Since most "property managers" are not experts at property construction, maintenance, and preservation, we feel each property should have its own advocate who is an expert in property care. Every property is assigned a "Property Services Manager" who oversees all maintenance, remodeling, inspections, etc., and ensures the property is maximizing its market value and revenue potential.

 

  • LEASING MANAGER (Tenant Advocate)
    We believe tenants are important customers and should have their own advocate they can turn to when needed. Our "Leasing Manager" and Leasing Team act as the primary contact for our tenants from application through move-out.

LICENSED & INSURED, INDUSTRY EXPERTS

Federal, state, and local Landlord-tenant laws, can be tricky to understand and comply with....and are changing faster than ever before.

Even if your property manager is an expert at the laws, it doesn't prevent mistakes or frivolous claims from happening.

The best property managers are licensed professionals that keep up with the rapid pace of change in the industry and are properly insured.

EquityTeam has it all covered:

“Very reliable, responsive, transparent and professional. I simply could not ask for more. Maintenance is great, reports are thorough and on time, I have had previous experience with another management company and the difference is night and day. I have also recommended EquityTeam to many other friends and owners who are very happy with their choice to work with ET. Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.”

“I had a property I couldn’t sell and “tried” to be a landlord. I wish I would have turned the property over to the EquityTeam years ago. They are professional, honest, and quick to answer any questions you have. It was hard for me to turn such a big investment over to someone else, but they have done a wonderful job with my property. They found me a great tenant in 7 days after listing it! The burden off of me allows me to focus on my family and I feel confident that my property is in good hands.”

“I tried unsuccessfully renting my property from afar. I contacted 3 different prop mgrs and I NAILED IT. They have a thorough process and solid resources for repairs/remodel/touchups. My duplex needed some serious rehab and turned out far better than I thought and got a tenant for better value than I anticipated. I like details and good communication (and good tenants) – I got that with EquityTeam!”
