Testimonials

“We are grateful to live so close to Chapman University. Vernon walks to and from his office each day, being one of the first persons on, and last ones to leave, campus each day, as traffic can be avoided. The Property Management staff is very attentive and work diligently with the home maintenance and yard upkeep. What is especially wonderful about the arrangement is that everyone on the PM staff is so courteous and gracious with any request. They all really like what they do and we experience that. We know that we have friends close by, and when we are away, we know that they are but a phone call away. Thank you!  We appreciate you all.” Vernon & Candace Smith

“Hmm. 
Commute? No carbon footprint and no parking fees. Walking is healthy.
 Maintenance? You have a landlord with a whole team of skilled people who can fix anything! 
Mowing? Nope, they care for all the landscaping every week. And water and trash wrestling included.
Community? No driving back in for that concert or play or film you want see. And you have great neighbors.
Fitness? Drop your expensive gym membership. Chapman has new and better equipment. 
Value? Competitive rental rates!
So good value, quality, health. What are you waiting for?” Nancy Brink
