Furnished Property Management

Our Priorities Are Simple, They Are Yours

Whether you are a hands-on owner who likes to be involved in the day-to-day management of your property but could use a little help with finding a tenant or following the long list of landlord/tenant protocol, a hands-off owner who is too busy or worn out to manage your property yourself and would like to rest easy that everything is being taken care of, or something in between, Abundance Corporate Housing is the property management company for you. We have relationships with many corporations, relocation companies and government agencies that advance our success with keeping your property rented. We have competitive management fees and never mark up repairs, utilities or other standard management duties. We have systems in place that have worked well for us in the past, but are open to the unique needs of you and your property.
