About Us

Thanks so much for visiting our website and considering us as your strategic property management team! It’s always exciting when new potential clients consider us as a fit to work together. I started Stewardship Management about 10 years ago after struggling to find the strategic management approaches that I needed myself as a fellow investor. Our core values are centered around applying “The Golden Rule” with every client, tenant, and co-worker. I also believe that if we truly focus on minimizing expenses and maximizing income for our clients while providing each resident with the respect, care, and quality they deserve, the positive results will impact all involved.

A few potential competitive advantages I believe we have here are as follows; An active investor led company with over 23 years’ experience being a landlord myself. We buy all high-volume maintenance items in bulk and store them in-house to take advantage of our combined client buying power.

We have an in-house brokerage allowing us the freedom/flexibility to offer existing clients the lowest possible commission rates on any investment purchases/sales. A tiered pricing structure allowing you to save on monthly management fees as you grow your investment portfolio.

Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to talk more about whether we may be a good fit to work together.

Sincerely, Merle Miller

We continue to build our foundation on the simple principles of:

#1. Treating each property and resident relationship just like they were our own.

#2. Treating each client's financial statement as if they were our own.

#3. Strategically sourcing materials that provide a great result for the resident while providing the strongest return for the client.

#4. Strategic quality, urgency and execution used in responsiveness and approaches with residents, clients, and each other as coworkers.

#5. Continually investing in our internal team to help each other reach our personal and professional potential.

Our owner Merle Miller has 23+ years experience in purchasing, selling and managing both residential and commercial real estate and it continues to be his professional passion to this day. He remains an active Stewardship client himself and receives the same financial statements, responses/approaches to service calls, etc. that every other client does as well. This experience in the industry is applied to each property and we treat our clients' properties as if they were our very own. We’re fortunate to have an in-house maintenance team and a 20,000+ square foot warehouse that allows us to pool our client buying power, source materials strategically, house them right here in our warehouse and pass on savings to our clients whenever possible. Examples of this include purchasing nearly two semi-loads of interior lighting at an auction, and more recently negotiating the purchase of large quantities of door knobs and deadbolts as a result of a business buyout. We continue to purchase high volume items such as; paint, dead bolts, lighting, door knobs, plumbing and electrical supplies in bulk, and store them in-house. Approaches like this just seem to make sense to us and we’re excited to continue finding ways to save our clients money while giving our residents better quality items and quicker response times than the competition.
