Why Ponderosa Property Management?

I am Mary Halling, owner of Ponderosa Property Management; a full service Property Management company, located in Plains, Montana. My decision to start a Property Management business in this area stems from the concerns I have been hearing from property owners, tenants and Realtors® that there is a great need for this sort of service.
There seems to be a general feeling of frustration from owners who feel “tied down” to their rental properties; being the rent collector, maintenance and cleaning person. When what they had hoped for was a source of additional income to allow them to enjoy other pursuits.
My experience in Property Management comes from a combination of years of employment with the two largest Real Estate firms in North Lake Tahoe; Coldwell Banker Incline Village, and Tanager Realty. At Coldwell Banker in the rental department, I learned a great deal about property inspections, procedures for maintenance, the accounting and reporting of tenant and owner ledgers, just to name a few… At Tanager Realty, I worked in the Administration and Rental departments. Both firms had 150 +/- vacation, seasonal and long term rentals.
Mary Halling - ownerIn fall 2004, I moved back to Plains. After receiving my license in March 2005, I first ran the business from my home. With the immediate success, I quickly realized home was not going to work- so in January 2006, relocated to the current office at 195 Boyer Street.
I am committed to staying informed of the ever-changing Landlord Tenant and Fair Housing Laws/Requirements. In addition to the annual continuing education provided by the Mt. Board of Realty Regulation, I subscribe to numerous pertinent Newsletters and Website updates.
It is my desire to provide a professional service to the many great owners, tenants and Realtors® of this area. I look forward to a long and fulfilling relationship of doing business with all of them.
