We have been providing property management services in Frederick County, Maryland for over 30 years.
The owners of the company are Dean and Jean Noah. Marc Noah also works in the family business as the Marketing Coordinator. They have a combined total of over 100 years in real estate. Noahs’ FMC has all of its employees listed on our website.
Yes, the Noahs’ are hands-on owners and are involved with the day-to-day operations of all aspects of the business. Yes, the Noahs’ are constant, stable figures within the organization.
We own our own building and have since 2000. We aren’t going anywhere; being family run and operated and owning our own commercial space, consistency and stability is one of our cornerstones.
Yes, it’s all we do. We chose to not sell real estate so that we can be completely devoted to property management in Frederick County. You will never see a FOR SALE sign with our name on it.
No, while we are brokers and real estate agents, we choose only to focus on rental and property management services.
Yes, we are set up like a sales office but all we do are rentals. However, we are different from a sales office in that our agents only show our listings. We feel we have an obligation to our clients to lease their homes and not other broker’s homes. Because we generate so many leads, our agents can afford to only show our listings. They are very busy, which is why 70% of the time we lease our own listings.
We don’t have any sales agents in our office; all our agents are leasing specialists and are listed on our website. Since we don’t sell, we won’t try to convert rental leads to sales leads.
Yes; we are the most widely referred property management company by other brokers. Although a lot of these companies have their own property management companies, they refer their clients to us.
Ten, including the owners and Marc Noah, and our average tenure of our employees is approximately 10 years.
Absolutely. We are current and up to date on all laws. In fact, Jean Noah is the longest standing member on the City of Gaithersburg Landlord/Tenant Commission and was instrumental in developing the County leases that are widely used today as the standard. In fact, Montgomery County hires us to lease their residential properties. In addition, we are always humbled when we come across other companies that have adopted our forms, addendums, and processes. We apply our expertise in Montgomery County to everything we do with our Frederick County division as well.
Absolutely, plus, we have our in-house maintenance department therefore we get feedback from our contractors should they notice anything peculiar at a property.
This statistic can be found in the MLS, therefore an agent/property manager should be able to give you an answer to this question. We are older than the BrightMLS (which is the current MLS service) and based on our records we have leased over 5,000 homes. That is a lot of leasing and renting experiences, therefore we have experienced almost any scenario that can occur in the leasing business and have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the process. Remember, you have over 100 years of combined real estate experience behind you with Noahs FMC.
