Austin Hill Realty Expands Reach with Collaborative Property Management Division

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, July 13th, 2016

Austin Hill Realty is pleased to announce the addition of two collaborative partnerships to further enhance the progressive real estate company’s robust list of client services, as well as supporting its fundamental values and mission to focus its resources on promoting a thriving Savannah.

The multigenerational real estate company recently partnered with Coastline Management, a full-service property management company that boasts over 16 years of experience in tenant and client relationships. Coastline Management will oversee Austin Hill Realty’s long-term property rentals providing customized management plans specifically tailored to the unique needs of investors, homeowners, and tenants. Currently, the property management company handles a diverse portfolio of more than 60 rental units, including Savannah’s much-anticipated Broughton Street Collection which is located in the emerging live-work-play community in the heart of the Savannah’s Landmark Historic District and successfully blends modern living with authentic historic charm in the luxurious lofts for rent.

“With the addition of Coastline Management under the umbrella of our expanded client services, Austin Hill Realty is not only poised to gain a greater share of Savannah’s growing rental property market but is now able to service our clients beyond traditional real estate services,” said Peter Nelsen, managing director and associate broker at Austin Hill Realty. “In addition, we wanted to offer our property owners more than the typical services of collecting rent and cutting checks and have found that through our partnership with Coastline Management, our clients have access to transparent, real-time communication and information and that they appreciate that level of unparalleled customer service.”

In addition to adding a property management division, Austin Hill Realty also recently partnered and co-located with Location Gallery, a popular local art gallery that features group and solo art shows by Savannah artists. Under the thoughtful direction of Gallery Curator Peter Roberts, and in collaboration with Austin Hill Realty, Location Gallery donates profits from art shows back to designated and local nonprofits in an effort to further support their collaborative mission to promote a thriving Savannah. Previous nonprofit recipients include Hospice Savannah, One Love Animal Rescue, Emmaus House, DEEP Center and First City Network, with a total of over $8,000 donated thus far.

“We believe in the power of collaboration and finding new and better ways to not only service our customers but to build a better a community,” said Austin Hill, managing partner and Broker at Austin Hill Realty. “Our partnerships with Location Gallery and Coastline Management are excellent examples of successful collaborations at work and we’re looking forward to forging new and equally fruitful alliances in the future.”
