I discovered the Green Residential property management team while searching for a company to manage several local Rice University properties.
A few years ago, as part of the Rice University Endowment’s Real Estate investments team, I was responsible for selecting the best property management firm for Rice’s local residential properties. We were transitioning from in-house to outside management, with the goals of decreasing our management burden, providing the best care for our residents, and maximizing the return on our investments.
From the beginning, and especially after interviewing nearly a dozen other Houston-area property managers, Green Residential was the only choice we could have made. They offer straightforward pricing without ridiculous surcharges, fees and long-term commitments. They understand the needs of investors, and have a very long-term view of the value of their relationship with us.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice. In the years since we began our partnership, the Green team has managed our properties extremely well, and resolved tenant issues fairly. They use their own good judgment and don’t involve us unnecessarily. They have also advised us on purchase/sale decisions around the University, as well as provided remodel/teardown analysis for maximizing each property long-term. They have proven themselves to be solution-oriented problem solvers, great stewards of our assets, and exactly the kind of partner an investor should demand.

This is my first experience with a property management company, but as a landlord, Green Residential is excellent. They have a good system and friendly staff. I’m a little biased because I’m friends with a couple of the staff members. Also, Green has only been managing the properties 3-4 months, so I’ll update if anything changes. But so far, I have nothing but positive things to say.

When you think of the greatest rivalries of your time, what comes to mind? There’s Tom vs. Jerry, Yankees vs. Red Sox, Batman vs. Joker, Peps vs. Coke…and the list could go on. But for some, they would also include the rivalry of tenant vs. landlord.
