Troy Espenlaub

Owned the Real Property Management Avitus in Humble, TX. Real Property Management Avitus is a full-service property management company and is one of the over 300 independent offices of the Real Property Management Franchise System. We specialize in residential property management including listing, tenant screening, rent collection, eviction services, maintenance and financial reporting. We do not buy or sell homes and when we receive a referral from a Realtor, we return the referral when it is time to sell the property or purchase additional ones. Owning rental properties is a business and should be treated as such. Realtors are valuable partners for us since rental property portfolios also need to be rebalanced from time to time. Our goal is to make life easier for our customers so that they can be investors and not managers. We want investors to be able to build cashflow while benefiting from the appreciation in value of their properties. We carefully screen all tenants and offer periodic property inspections to make sure that our owners' properties are being properly cared for. If you know someone that may benefit from our services, please do not hesitate to call me at 832-690-0409. Please also see the biography section below to learn a little more about my background.

Troy Espenlaub was born and raised in the Houston area. He and his wife, Heather, have proudly called the Atascocita area home for the past 15 years. Troy graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and a Master of Science degree in Finance. He passed all four parts of the CPA examination that same year and began his career working as an auditor with an emphasis on large publicly traded companies in the energy sector.

Troy left his position as a Manager at a Big Four Accounting Firm at the end of 2007 in order to help his parents operate their two quick service restaurant franchise locations prior to their retirement. He completed the training required by the franchisor and was approved to purchase both restaurant locations in 2010. Troy and Heather both gained valuable experience as entrepreneurs while operating a multi-million-dollar business. They were able to significantly increase the company's revenue and value during their tenure as owner/operators. Both gained an appreciation for community involvement through the many activities and organizations that they were privileged to be a part of as small business owners.

Since leaving the restaurant industry, Troy has obtained his Real Estate Sales Associate License and has teamed up with Real Property Management, the largest property management company in North America in order to offer property management services in the Northeast Houston area and beyond under the name Real Property Management Avitus. Troy believes strongly that a rental property is a business and should be managed with that in mind. Troy and Heather do not own, buy, or sell rental properties but instead choose to focus completely on the business of providing diligent service to their clients. Troy and Heather are proud members of the Lake Houston Area Chamber of Commerce,
