General Info:
Direct Homes & Management Company offers personalized services for both the Homeowners and Tenants. We are a local family-owned and operated business. We started as a property maintenance company in 1985, performing work for homeowners, property management companies, real estate agents, HOAs and various commercial businesses. By having personally performed the maintenance during those formative years, we can relate to your concerns about maintenance and costs. As Homeowners Ourselves, Having To Maintain To Upkeep The Property Is A Constant Vigil. After All, It is A Major Investment. Now, We Use Licensed, Insured Contractors and Handymen As Needed. The broker (Dave Eldridge) will monitor and occasionally perform the maintenance himself. This gives him the chance to view the property personally. In 1991, at the request of several homeowners and investors, we decided to start the property management company. Our plans were to keep the company small and more personal. Direct broker leasing seemed to be a great way to help eliminate confusion between parties. It has worked very well.
