We re-established our roots: Travis started San Juan Property Management offering vacation rental management and I joined a local real estate office and resumed my career in real estate. We re-tooled San Juan Property Management to offer and meet the specific needs of the second home owner market. Now as a family owned and operated business, I provide our clients with sales and leasing services while Travis manages the vacation rental operations.
