HAVEN Property Management is taking a new approach to the short-term property management industry
So many times property managers make their clients think they need the manager more than the manager needs the client and that’s is so very incorrect.
Our approach to property management is simple: the client comes first and the success of their property is our number one concern. We don’t make money unless you do and rather than profiting from clients with service fees and setup fees, we do the background work on our dime.
We offer a variable rate commission program in which we tailor our services to our clients’ needs, not the other way around. If you’re looking for a full management service management company or a company to market your property, we offer both and anything in between.
As every home and owner is different, so are we.
