Owner Information

As a Vashon property owner, you want to be assured that your investment is well maintained. If you have a renter in the house, you want to be sure that your tenant is responsible, and that rent is paid on time. If you are keeping the house for personal use, you may want someone to keep an eye on it, especially during periods of bad weather.

Basic stuff, but time-consuming, and not very convenient if you live off-Island.

We do live here, and we are here to help. Glendale Property Management is a division of Glendale Realty, Inc., a company that's been in business on Vashon since 1964.

We know just about everyone, and get priority service from local contractors and service providers, which means your maintenance and repairs get done quickly. We are thorough, responsible, and excruciatingly honest - you won't find us adding a surcharge to contractor invoices.

To ensure that you get a quality tenant, we use a professional third party tenant screening service. We also offer renters a Preferred Renter Program. In a nutshell, it's a program where we reward renters for paying on time by giving them a significant financial break if they decide to become buyers. Not only does this ensure that your rent will never be late, it gives you plenty of advance notice if a tenant is considering moving. Wouldn't that be nice to know?

Some of the services we offer are listed below. If you'd like to learn more about our services and very competitive rates, we'd love to talk. Here's how you can reach us:

• Call us at 206.463.9177
• Email us at info@GlendaleRentsHomes.com
• Write us at PO Box 582, Vashon, WA 98070
• Stop by our office in the Glendale Business Center, located at 17326 Vashon Highway and ask for Troy or Marie.

We look forward to hearing from you!
