Incredible Time for Property Management

I have been constatnly surprised as to the make-up of our new customer base. Not surprised that half of our new customers are 'unintentional investors' who have/need to move but don't want to sell their house, but VERY surprised as to the magnitude of the homes coming to us.

In a given week, it is not uncommon for us to take on multiple homes that are in the $500k and up range. A few weeks ago, we even had a $1.5M and a $600k in the same day. Perhaps more important, these homes are renting... some of them VERY fast. Cherry Creek School District is a huge driver (they are typically on the market for days), but expensive properties are renting in all areas as well (might take 4 weeks to move something in east Aurora, but they do eventually move).
