Testimonials

Very responsive and available if a need arises.

Mamie O

I was introduced to Emerald Management by my realtor in 2007 during a trip from New York in search of investment properties. After taking a trip through the area of the properties they managed and comparing what I saw to some other areas, I was convinced they were the right choice for me. I was living in New York at the time and needed a reliable management company to serve my best interests. I chose them and have been pleased with the job they have done for me since then to the present time. They have proven that they can do the job time and time again all through the pandemic.
I am confident that you would be pleased with their services.

Michelle has been my property mgr for 3yrs. She is very professional, very customer service oriented, and has made the process stress free for me. I highly recommend her and her exceptional company.

petersmaryjo

We were pleased with the way Emerald Management handled our duplex listing. Michelle Moss and her experienced team listed our rental property and assisted in all aspects of the sale. Kim Dontje and Marta Latsis listed the property and secured its sale within two months…… total success! They were decisive, professional, and intuitive in a changing real estate market. They provided state of the art techniques which aided our busy schedules. The next listing goes to Emerald Management. Thanks, Emerald!
