Our staff

Never having purchased accounts or employed mass marketing techniques, Janet prefers instead to build her company slowly, mostly through referrals. "I believe that the key to our success," she says, "is that we treat all owners, tenants and vendors with the same level of courtesy and respect. That, and good communication!"

Janet holds an MPM (Master Property Manager) designation from NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers), which is held by fewer than 80 property managers nationwide. Having served on the Board of Directors of the Sacramento Chapter of NARPM for many years, Janet served as Vice President in 2004 and President in 2005 and 2006.

Christina also has a passion for the piano, both playing and listening, that she has cultivated since the age of eight.
