News from Green Residential and around the world of Property Management and rental homes in Houston.
You have a lot to consider when you’re a landlord and having to market your properties. From determining the most strategic price point to using effective advertising channels, juggling all those balls can feel overwhelming at times.
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.

I cannot say enough good things about Green Residential! The staff is professional and courteous beyond expectation.
My husband and I had been in the process of purchasing a property and at the last minute decided not to move forward. We were already packed, had movers scheduled and were anxious to move when we began our search for a rental property.
Our first contact with Green Residential was Pam, the realtor who showed us a house perfectly suited to our needs. She was wonderful! Understanding our circumstances, she immediately went to work to expedite the lease and get us into the property of our dreams within three days although the property had only just been listed and make-ready had not been completed.
As soon as we were in the house, Leslie Green Wray took over to address the make-ready issues in a timely manner. She was also helpful in our transferring utilities, etc. on such short notice. She has truly gone out of her way to make us comfortable and happy in our new home!
I also want to commend the various service professionals Green has sent out for repairs…all trustworthy, courteous and efficient tradesmen!
We couldn’t be happier!!

Even if you own a lovely home and have taken care of it for years, there’s no guarantee it’s going to sell in the timeframe you want. If you’re struggling to get any offers in the first few months of your listing, it may be a sign that something’s wrong.
The Fair Housing Act of 1968 was enacted to protect buyers and renters from discrimination. The primary prohibition makes it illegal to refuse to rent or sell to a person because of their inclusion in a protected class. Federally protected classes include race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age, and disability. The Fair Housing Act… [Read More]
