First things first.

◆

Lease

Leasing is about more than just filling a vacancy—it’s about building reliable rental relationships from the very beginning. Our leases are structured to protect the property, respect the tenant, and reduce risk for the owner. Our thorough tenant screening includes background checks, income verification, rental history, and reference reviews—ensuring the right fit from the start.

◆

Manage

Great property management comes down to smart systems and steady support. Our full-service management includes rent collection, accounting, monthly owner disbursements, and detailed financial statements delivered through a secure online portal. Both owners and tenants benefit from a streamlined experience through our real-time owner and tenant portals.

◆

Maintain

Small issues become big problems if overlooked, so we coordinate with trusted vendors to handle repairs promptly and thoroughly. We also conduct annual property inspections to catch potential concerns before they escalate. Preventative maintenance, seasonal checks, and regular oversight help preserve property value and ensure that tenants are living in well-cared-for homes.

Our 17 Year Track Record

The Foundation of First

Trusted by Hundreds of Owners

  • "I live out of state and have a demanding job that doesn't leave me any time to manage a rental property, let alone do it well. First Property Management does all the work of tenant placement, maintenance (including getting good bids on major repairs), scheduling lawn care, and keeping me up-to-date any time the tenants have a question or there's a change to a lease. The office staff is responsive and helpful and capable, and their online system gives me all the information I need at a glance. Because of First, I can work my dream job and keep my house in my home state without any extra stress, all while earning passive income. I get a lot of peace of mind from the trust I have in their work and the care they take doing it."
