In recent years, Southern Connecticut has seen incredible growth. Developers have returned to market, with a focus on multi-family tracts and community planned living. Even as single-family home sales have recovered from years of economic uncertainty, homeowners are still opting to rent out their homes rather than sell in this market; considering rental income a better return on their investment. This presents a unique opportunity for real estate agents to take advantage of the market’s flexibility and help clients rent out their homes.
Real Property Management is the leader among Southern Connecticut real estate management firms and as such, we recognize the incredible influence real estate agents have on prospective clients. Homeowners are more likely to reach out to their real estate agent first to help lease out their property. As the first point of contact, agents are vital to the growth of the residential rental market! That is why we like to partner with local agents, like you, to offer your clients the best property management services available among real estate management companies in Connecticut.

Here are four scenarios where you might find that having our team of Southern Connecticut real estate management experts is incredibly beneficial:

When they’re ready to trying selling again, we will refer them back to you.
- Your friends and family continually seek out your advice on real estate. You have a friend who wants to rent out their property but doesn’t know where to start.
