Your Management Team

As the Office Support Team Member of First Rate Property Management, it is my job to coordinate customer service at the front desk. I direct incoming calls to the best person to meet your needs. I also answer your questions about our available rental properties and schedule showings.  I apologize in advance if you call and the auto attendant picks up. This means that I and all of the other leasing agents are all on the phone assisting others. To meet your needs, First Rate Property Management has created a very interactive website. Our rental listing includes photos and specific descriptions of each property. You can even apply on-line. If you prefer, feel free to email any of us. Thank you!
