Property Management Team
The people on our property management team are our strongest asset to tenants and owners. Our human resources philosophies include a team approach to solving tenant and property problems and taking credit for our success in managing properties. We continue to grow and seek excellence in providing the best tenant services and management in Idaho Falls, Pocatello and surrounding areas through training and continuing education in property management.
Jill is our Office Manager. If you are calling our property management office it is likely that you will speak to Jill. She also does most of the rental marketing including pictures, video and listing rental properties on craigslist, our website, and all of our partner websites. Jill makes the Jacob Grant Property Management team stronger by continuing to keep us on track with our team philosophy. Whenever people hand out individual credit or blame, she is quick to keep reinforcing that we are all responsible for successes and failures of the team.
Dan is our Building Manager. His job includes scheduling all vendors to create quick turnovers to reduce vacancy, quality maintenance and cleaning, and competitive pricing from vendors. Residents may meet or talk to Dan after they put in a request for a work order to help them troubleshoot a problem. He also takes part in move in and move out repairs and cleaning of our rentals. As Dan doesn’t say a lot he lets his walk do his talk. We are so lucky to have Dan! It doesn’t matter how well or how fast repairs are completed, he continues to seek better and faster solutions to try to improve property management efficiency for our rental owners.
