Company History

Straight Forward Property Management started as a small trades crew focused on rental properties. The team expanded as local landlords asked for bundled services—carpentry, gate work, and plumbing checks bundled into one visit. Growth came through steady work across Grand Rapids neighborhoods and referrals from property managers who needed reliable inspections and repairs during Michigan's freeze-thaw seasons.

Leadership

The business is led by a founder who began as a carpenter and later trained in plumbing inspection. That hands-on background shapes the company’s approach: practical fixes, clear inspection reports, and priority response in cold months when pipes and gates are most at risk. Leadership stays active in local trade groups and attends city housing meetings when rental code changes come up.

Specialties & Highlights

• Combined trades knowledge—carpentry and plumbing inspectors coordinate work on older homes.
• Documentation for landlords—inspection reports and repair estimates suitable for rental files.
• Seasonal readiness—winterizing fences, checking for freeze damage, and spring gate tuning.
