We are an all-inclusive Property Management Platform developed by investors for investors. Grown from a need for help in managing our own properties, we decided if we had employees to help, we could offer this service to other property owners.
We aim to create a stress-free experience for both our clients and tenants while ensuring the highest level of quality, satisfaction, and customer service.
Whether you’re a landlord looking for assistance with your rental property, or a tenant searching for a reliable place to call home, Simply Rentals is here to help. Please contact us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your goals!
Property Management
For investors, By investors.
Meet The Owners
Hi, I’m Ashley
Broker
I have always loved looking at homes! I come from a family of real estate investors, agents and brokers. Real estate is in my blood! I have helped in many real estate transactions even before realtor or broker were my job title. My husband, Tracy, and I bought our first investment property in 2009. From that point on he strongly encouraged me to follow my passion in real estate, even before I was ready to acknowledge what my heart was telling me. So I finally listened to my heart (and husband) and became a REALTOR in August of 2011. I loved learning about real estate so I quickly earned the Graduate REALTOR Institute designation, and in 2015 received my broker’s license!
In the years since I have been continually blessed. I now have two beautiful children. My business has really grown! I have a family of agents I love working with. We have an expanding property management division that includes a full-time maintenance/construction crew. We purchased and renovated an office building giving us a beautiful workspace! I am so grateful to my agents, clients, and the community for supporting me and allowing me to do what I truly love!
Hi, I’m Tracy
Property Manager, Associate Broker
I was born to a mechanic and software engineer in the small east Texas town of Cumby. A graduate of Texas A&M-Commerce with a degree in Industrial Engineering. I launched my professional career as a manufacturing engineer in Greenville.
Married to a real estate aficionado, we bought our first “project home” in 2009. It was soon clear with my engineering mind and love of the American Dream, a career in real estate was in my future. Committed to seeing my wife’s dreams come true, I maintained my position as an engineer until the time was right. Licensed and serving next to my amazing wife, we have listings all over the state of Texas even though we call Hunt County home!
Since taking on the Property manager role in the company I gained my Texas Realtor Leasing Specialist and Texas Realtor Property Management Designation becoming even more of an expert to help support our landlords.
Now, as the president of several growing real estate investment groups and partner in my wife’s brokerage, I am devoted to help bring solid investment strategies to those who hunger for the dream.
