ABOUT US
In North Carolina, our state motto goes “Esse quam videri”, which means “To be, rather than to seem”.
At Ballo Realty Property Management, we may not speak latin, but we take this quote to heart by delivering a great property owner experience rather than to tell it.
We understand that your investment property is one of the most important assets to you that can generate a passive source of income. And while it can be difficult to trust in someone else to manage your property, it can be even more challenging to go through the stress, risk, time, and frustration of managing it yourself. That’s why here at Ballo Realty Property Management, we want to show that you can trust us by protecting your investment and minimizing your cost.
With over 25 years of combined experience, we not only breath Property Management, but we live in it as well. We provide personal service because what happens to you affects us personally. We understand our property owners because we’ve been there. We have been experienced landlords, investors, remodelers with properties across the country. These experiences laid the foundation for the expertise we provide to your rental investment. Our name, “Ballo,” is an Italian dance from the Fifteenth century noted for its frequent changes of tempo. In today’s times, you need a company ready to move and adapt to the ever-changing rental market.
