Mary Calvert Team began offering property management services as a result of requests by our real estate clients who were looking to receive the same kind of high quality service associated with the management of their rental properties as they received from us in the buying and selling of properties. Accordingly, we strive to offer high quality, professional service in this aspect of our business as well.

Presently, Mary Calvert Team provides property management service to close to 100 property owners most of whom are out-of-state and who rarely see their properties at all. We have developed a proven, hands-on approach to property management consisting of responsive professional service backed by over a decade of experience.

Our affiliation with the local Board of Realtors includes membership in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) allowing us immediate access to available properties and the ability to list properties throughout the local broker community.

We are licensed brokers who are knowledgeable about Colorado laws which govern rental properties, owners/agents and tenant rights. We stay abreast of the latest changes to these laws. We have an attorney at our disposal to inquire into legal matters, and to provide expert legal representation in any type of court action.

Here is a recent testimonial from one of our rental clients:
" We first found the Mary Calvert Team on the internet and contacted Mary because of her comprehensive website. We were first-time home buyers at the time and living out of state, but Mary patiently answered all our questions and walked us through the buying process. We were only able to visit the Springs for a weekend, but during that short period Mary introduced us to the city and found us the perfect home. After we moved from the area, Mary and her team because our property managers and did an amazing job maintaining and finding tenants for our house. We recently worked with Beth to put it on the market and received an offer within a few days of our first showing. We closed within the month. We will be back in the Springs some day and look forward to working with the Mary Calvert Team again. Mary and her team are professional, easy to work with, and always go the extra mile. We knew we had chosen the right team from our first email communication as buyers, and we were still sure of that 5 years later when Mary's team helped us sell our home. "
