Accessible & Comprehensive
From my experience having used most of the major PMs across Grand Rapids, United is both the most accessible and comprehensive in terms of suite of services. In addition to basic leasing and property management, they have a unique organizational structure that provides experts on media, renovation strategy, leasing strategy, and entry/exit plans. These experts are not only accessible, but have been instrumental in guiding strategic decisions that inevitably arise. Tim, Jesse, Kurt, and others have been simply fantastic…I would highly recommend to either busy landlords or medium to large owners seeking to grow! 5 stars!
