About Us
Meet the Team
Licensed since 2002, I have worked in all aspects of real estate from office development and training to property management and relocation. Detail oriented with a marketing background handling Residential Real Estate and Property Management in the Central Florida area. Thanks to our continued success with our clients and customers, in 2011 we opened up Scates Realty & Investment Properties, Inc., a full service brokerage and management company. With the creation of the brokerage we had the ability to take our extensive knowledge and business experience to offer our expertise, build a fair structure and have no upfront or transaction fees.
Our Team utilizes traditional marketing, social media and internet sites including "blogging" to move the houses through the advertising outlets. This also helps to procure interested parties looking for homes – which we all know the first shopping experience today, is online on internet land. We welcome client's sellers, buyers, tenants, or landlords to call us with questions or concerns, for advice to help them achieve the most satisfactory outlook on their investments.
Providing a superior level of informed, professional real estate services to buyers, sellers and renters in the Central Florida area. We handle showings & prospective tenant screening, lease preparation and executions, renewals and inspections as well as cooperate with other brokers.
Due to the expansion and several requests from our satisfied clients in The Property Management Department, we opened up Pink Door Holiday Homes, Inc. to assist those with Short Term Management and Vacation Rentals.
During our tenure, we pride ourselves as leaders in our local real estate market and the property management community. Since 2010 we have been active members of the NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) community, abide by their Code of Ethics and stay current on the latest property management industry trends.
Pink Door Management specializes in the professional management of single family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes and multiplexes for private owners and investors. We would be honored to manage your investment properties.
