Hands On property management is one of our biggest trademarks at The Jacobs-Alfonso Group. Jacobs and Alfonso personally perform on site inspections of all their properties on a frequent basis. One of the many benefits of these inspections is the building of relationships between landlord/manager and tenant. This type of personal touch, while they are performing their tasks at the building helps reduce vacancies in this tough rental market.

Joel Jacobs
