Background
In our pre-Affinity Management form, we were a young military family with a small amount of discretionary income and a dream. We decided to take action on this dream and we purchased a rental property in Goose Creek, SC. We could not afford to fail to collect rent, pay others for repairs and maintenance, or create a fancy presence. This minimalist necessity taught us a lot about minimizing costs, maximizing efficiency, and the importance of networking. After obtaining our license, which allows us to manage others’ assets, we learned that every client has a different priority. We were able to adapt our approach on an individual basis to provide each client with the services and attention that focused on their unique priorities.
Small Business but Large on Values
Ashley and Meredith lead a property management team in Columbia and continue to provide prompt and personal attention to the Charleston properties. They highly value and welcome clear, direct communication with all their owners and tenants to ensure everyone involved is beyond pleased with their properties. While they miss living in Charleston they have grown to love calling the local Columbia community home—whether it’s heading to the Soda City Market on a Saturday morning, enjoying a family walk at the Lake Murray Dam, or taking the kids to EdVenture Children’s Museum on a rainy day. Affinity Management is your “mom and pop shop” property management company. We hope to welcome you home and call you a friend soon!
