Managing rental properties successfully requires time, expertise and experience. The common problem faced by the average landlord is juggling the demands of other businesses, family and community while trying to be good landlords.

Marketing is key to profitable property management. We have invested significantly to bring our clients the best marketing tools in the business. Our clients benefit from professionally edited wide-angle photographs that make their property stand out against other properties on the market. Prospective tenants easily find our listings on over 30 websites including Craigslist. Showing appointments are easily obtained since the prospective tenant can schedule their personal tour with a PA licensed leasing agent by simply filling out a short showing request on our website. Our leasing agents personally show the properties, answer questions and help prospective tenants see themselves making their home in your property.
Of all the risks in rental properties, tenant risk is the greatest but is also the risk you have the most control of. We can’t control what the market will do economically or whether the roof ages faster than you planned for, but we do control who we rent to. We take this responsibility very seriously and have developed a comprehensive tenant selection process that takes into account an applicant’s income, rental history, credit and criminal history. We are relentless with verifying the details of an application and ensuring that we make the best and most informed decisions about tenant selection for our clients’ properties. To learn more about the rental criteria we use, please see the Application Instructions page.
Our rent collection performance is second to none. We are successfully collecting rents in full from over 99% of our tenants each month. We make sure you get paid! Won’t it be nice when you can count on the arrival of the rent for a change? If a tenant does not pay rent or otherwise breaches the lease agreement, you can count on our team to take swift and decisive action on the debt, reducing the risk that it will become a bigger issue.
Maintaining your rental property is vital in providing what is required by the lease as well as protecting your investment’s value. Our maintenance department is experienced, ready and able to tackle the maintenance needs of your property from the smallest to largest of repairs. We document, perform and report all maintenance done on the property to you, so you always know what is going on. We use video move in and move out inspections to protect your investment and accurately record the condition during these transitions. When we perform an inspection of the property, a report with pictures is generated for accurate recordkeeping.
Our financial reporting is best in class, enabling you to know exactly where each dollar is used in the management of your property. You will receive a detailed report package each month that provides a comprehensive look at the overall performance of your portfolio.
Evictions are something every landlord hopes will never happen. Our disciplined management approach limits evictions significantly, but that risk isn’t entirely eliminated. In the unfortunate event that a tenant needs to be evicted from your rental, we provide an eviction protection guarantee. We will reimburse you up to one month’s rent (max $1000) AND the court costs associated with an eviction.
Jersey Shore is a borough in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is on the West Branch Susquehanna River, 15 miles (24 km) west by south of Williamsport. It is part of the Williamsport, Pennsylvania Metropolitan Statistical Area. In the past, Jersey Shore held farms, railroad shops, cigar factories, a foundry, and a large silk mill. In 1900, 3,070 people lived there; in 1910, 5,381; and in 1940, 5,432. The population was 4,482 at the 2000 census.
Jersey Shore was incorporated as a borough on March 15, 1826. The history of Jersey Shore begins about 50 years before it was incorporated and on the opposite bank of the West Branch Susquehanna River in what is now Nippenose Township. Colonel John Henry Antes arrived in 1772 and established a homestead along the banks of Antes Creek. Antes also built a gristmill and his fortified home, Fort Antes, provided a safe haven for the early settlers against raids conducted by Loyalist and Indian forces during the American Revolution. Settlers who had sought refuge at Fort Antes and had returned to the right bank of the West Branch to milk their cows were among the first killed when Fort Antes was attacked just prior to the Big Runaway. These pioneers on the north side of the river were counted among the Fair Play Men, a group of squatters who lived outside the jurisdiction of the colonial and revolutionary governments of Pennsylvania. Many of the settlers did not return to the area until after Sullivan's Expedition had forced the Lenape and other Indians allied with the British further west.[3]
Jersey Shore was originally named Waynesburg by the two brothers, Reuben and Jeremiah Manning, who laid out the town circa 1785.[3] Around the time that this was happening, a settlement arose on the eastern side of the West Branch Susquehanna River (Nippenose Township), opposite Waynesburg. A rivalry developed between the two settlements, and those on the eastern shore began referring to the settlement on the western shore as the "Jersey Shore," because the Manning family had relocated from New Jersey. The nickname became so fixed that in 1826 the original name of Waynesburg was officially abandoned and changed to Jersey Shore.[4]
Jersey Shore's location on the West Branch Susquehanna River, just downstream from the mouth of Pine Creek made it an ideal location for traders and other businessmen who outfitted the pioneers who settled the western most portions of the West Branch Susquehanna River Valley and the Pine Creek valley.[5] Thomas Martin was a farmer who sold his produce to the people of Jersey Shore and to the men and women who were just passing through. Mr. Martin was noted for his strong beliefs regarding the prices that he set.[3] For example, if he believed that his potatoes were worth 35 cents a bushel, he would sell them for 35 cents a bushel, no more no less. If his competitors would sell potatoes for 50 cents a bushel, Martin would not raise his price and if others lowered the price to 25 cents per bushel, he would not lower his price. This firmness and fairness allowed Thomas Martin to rise to a position of prominence in Jersey Shore and Lycoming County. His reputation for fairness and honesty was passed onto his son Lewis Martin who went on to serve as a Lycoming County prothonotary and as a deputy U.S. Marshal.[3]
