Nancy Thompson shows properties
to a potential renter.

The Home and Condo Rentals team has assisted thousands of customers since 1996. Presently, they manage more than 500 seasonal and annual properties. “Our greatest pleasure is to work with our wonderful customers,” says Nancy Thompson, co-owner. The company works with many newcomers to the area, who are advised to rent for at least six months before buying. “It gives them time to learn the area,” she says.

Part-time residents need look no further than Home and Condo Rentals. “We certainly look forward to their return each year,” says Seasonal Property Manager Liz Baker. In fact, many repeat customers have such confidence in their service that they do not even view the property in advance. “They just say, ‘You know what we like!’” She suggests visiting their website, www.HomeandCondo.com for photos, area information and descriptions.

The company is family-owned and operated by Nancy Thompson and her daughter, Stephanie Brandow, Broker. The staff has grown to 14 to assist their owners and tenants with additional customer services as the rental market continually changes. Annual Property Manager JoAnn Carnes believes their strength comes from having specialized areas of responsibility for each staff member. “It’s more efficient, and it really makes a big difference in service,” she says.

In addition to rentals and property management services, the family owns and runs J’s Home Furnishings, a consignment store which features discounted new and quality used furnishings. “This business gives us more opportunity to provide refurnishing and redecorating services to our clients. They can choose their own items, or we can create turn-key condo packages.” Home and Condo Rentals also has its own in-house maintenance staff, which means problems are solved quickly. The staff focuses on giving each customer exceptional service. “It’s more than just putting tenants into a property. Service is our specialty.”      

Do you own rental property? A property management firm is like an insurance policy for absentee owners. “We give them peace of mind in that we are here and checking on their property and tenants. People don’t buy investment property expecting hassles, but they exist. We take the hassles out of owning rental property,” assures Nancy. “We offer full professional management, which includes advertising and showing property, securing quality tenants, preparation of rental agreements and condo applications, collecting taxes, rents and security deposits, posting notices, disbursing funds, cleanings, inspections and maintenance.” Local property owners who just need help procuring a tenant and completing the initial paperwork can benefit from their non-management service, where owners handle their own management.
