As a real estate owner for several years Paul Rush saw the need for a property management company that was more owner centric in its approach. A company that does more than just send a rent check and a report in the mail to its owners. He wanted a company that understood and could help owners better understand and manage their investments, providing actionable data they could use. In 2014 Augusta Rental Homes was born and has been a growing business since then.
The focus has been to deliver a top tier level service to the residents and the owners without over complicating the process. Easy to understand terms, simple fee structure, honesty and transparency are all part of the core values that Augusta Rental Homes tries every day to deliver to our residents and owners. We are actively involved in NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) and stay current on the latest property management industry trends as well as try to innovate on our own. Our mission is to always be good stewards of the asset, respecting both the resident and the owners interests in the property. In doing so we know that the value we can bring will be the very best that we can offer every step of the way.
