Looking for a Property Management Company - Spring, TX

[Donald Hendricks]

i am looking for the unicorn....  That is to say I am looking for a property management company that serves Spring, TX and does more than just collect the rent and send me bills for over priced repairs.   It would be nice if they would lay eyes on the property quarterly give or take a year or two.

Thanks BP brothers & sisters.
