Trusted by Property Owners
Across Northern California

Voted the 2021, 2022, and 2023 BEST Property Management Company of the Year by the North Valley Property Owners Association

I have been a client of Hignell Property Management for approximately 5 years. I own a significant amount of property all of which Hignell manages. Prior to that, I was a client of three other management companies. Hignell
is a professionally managed firm, not your normal Mom and Pop operation. They do things by the book, which is very important in today's environment because of all the strict management rules that property owners must
follow. Honesty is number one in my book and I find that they always do what they say. No side deals or kick back from vendors, which is common in this industry. For these reasons, I am willing to recommend Hignell to all others.

I want to let you know how pleased I have been with your management services. You and your team have been very professional and extremely knowledgeable as to how to run multifamily properties correctly. I have been impressed from day one. The fact that you had the entire complex leased before we had our Occupancy permit was huge. I was blown away with rents that you were able to achieve, beating our pro forma. Hiring Hignell was a great move for us. As you and I have talked in the past, owning properties in CA is tough, but now that I have found you guys, I would like to find more properties for you to run.

Property Owner

I listed a home for sale of a client of Hignell's and when I went out to meet the tenant they told me that the bathroom had just undergone quite an extensive repair. She said that when the rental was managed by the previous company, they (the tenants) would call the property manager all the time with things that needed to be fixed, but their concerns were never addressed. She said in the short time her home was in the care of Hignell, their concerns were addressed and items were being fixed. I recommend Hignell for both tenants and landlords alike. Having leaks go unfixed is neither good for a tenant or landlord. The Hignell Properties cares for their rental fleet and their tenants.
