Meet the Founder
My path to real estate management is backed by decades of diverse experience across law, corporate finance, and high-level client management:
Legal Foundation: I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 2001 and previously practiced attorney in business and criminal law. This rigorous legal background ensures your lease agreements, risk management strategies, and property operations are handled with precision and full regulatory compliance.
Banking & Fiduciary Care: After returning home to South Dakota, I served in the banking industry as a real estate loan closer and trust officer for a multinational trust company—managing and overseeing hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. That fiduciary mindset directly informs how we protect your capital and manage your accounts.
Client-First Management: My leadership experience in hospitality and retail management at premier establishments trained me to deliver top-tier client experiences, manage vendor relationships smoothly, and resolve complex challenges calmly and efficiently.
FAQs
Why work with a licensed Property Manager who is also a Lawyer?
Managing rental properties involves complex legal frameworks—ranging from fair housing laws and security deposit regulations to contract enforcement and local compliance. Working with a property manager who holds a Juris Doctor degree provides an exceptional advantage:
Fiduciary Responsibility: Combining legal training with extensive background as a corporate bank trust officer ensures your assets, accounts, and financial distributions are handled with the highest level of fiduciary care.
Legal Rigor: Your lease agreements, notices, and addendums are crafted and enforced with high legal precision.
Risk Mitigation: Proactive risk management helps protect you from costly tenant disputes, liability claims, and compliance oversights.
What types of properties do you manage?
We offer comprehensive management solutions across a wide range of residential and income-producing real estate:
Multi-Family Complexes: Scalable operations, maintenance workflows, and tenant retention programs tailored for multi-unit apartment buildings.
Single-Family Homes: Full-service management designed to preserve long-term home value while securing reliable tenants.
Townhomes & Condos: Seamless coordination covering both individual owner needs and community association rules.
Short-Term Rentals (Airbnb / VRBO): Complete hands-off management for vacation and short-term rentals, including listing optimization, guest communications, turnover cleanings, and dynamic pricing strategies.
How much does property management cost?
Property management fees vary across the industry depending on property type, location, and the level of service required. Typical industry standards include:
• Full-Service Management Fees: Generally structured as a percentage of monthly collected rent.
• Leasing / Tenant Placement Fees: A one-time fee covering property marketing, tenant screening, lease execution, and move-in coordination.
• Short-Term Rental Management: Fees are structured differently due to higher operational demands (guest turnovers, daily pricing updates, and frequent communication).
Because every property and owner portfolio is unique, every management contract is tailored specifically to your goals. We offer free, no-obligation estimates based on the specific details, location, and size of your property.
