What Our Clients Are Saying

We had a fantastic experience with SJA Property Management! We rented a home through them for two years and never had any problems with the management team. Their online portal makes paying rent, managing maintenance requests, and updating paperwork super simple. Our designated property manager Kim was Amazing! Always responsive, helpful, and willing to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend working with them!

I have been using SJA to manage my rental for quite some time now. Jenny and her team @ SJA are the best in the business. They take all the hassle away from the home owners and just take care of everything in a very professional and timely manner. Highly recommended!

As a property owner I have complete confidence in SJA to manage my home while I am away. No issues to speak of and as an out-of-state owner, this is a BIG DEAL! At first I had questions for the bookkeeper (utilities, pay outs). She responded promptly and answered clearly with excellent explanations. I highly recommend SJA for PM services.

I worked with SJA and specifically Claudette and Griffin to rent out my Seattle property. They made it very clear for me from the outset what needed to be done to have the property rent-ready and they were very prompt in listing and marketing my home. I was super impressed that the house was rented within one week of listing and this was even after SJA had recommended I charge higher rent per month than my original target. Looking forward to working with SJA for the ongoing management of my property.
