Awesome as always. (One thing).. I think the Z portal is a bit buggy. It failed to log me in yesterday then after a password reset, it worked for a few hours then failed to accept me. Human error is always possable, as is my cellphone reception and refresh rate but I'd bet a few Las Vegas velvet chips that it's a software glitch.

I've worked with Jacob Grant property management for several years now and they have been a great partner. They think of the things that I don't have time to think of. They come to me when we need to make bigger investments in my property, but most of the time, they just handle the issues that come up. Their team is proactive with their communication and if I reach out, they are responsive to my inquiries. I strongly recommend Jacob Grant for anyone looking for a good property manager.

Jacob Grant Property Management, A company above the rest. When looking for a property in the Southern Idaho region we found several perfect locations that fit my mother's needs. She desired to move home and away from the busy city life of Utah. We understood that we were just another client for JacobGrant but the overwhelming efforts our Resident Coordinator Nichole Young made to accommodate my mother's needs (especially while she was out of the office handeling a family emergency) went far beyond just great customer service. We felt that Nichole Young and the Jacob Grant staff understood the importance of our situation and went above and beyond her duties in finding the right home for my mother. Many clients are looking to just rent an apartment or a home. Others are looking to purchase a home but are focused on balancing their budget with what's available. In our case, we were fulfilling a life goal for not only my mother and her return to her family and the resting place of her loved ones but for myself as well. Jacob Grant understood we were looking for more than just a roof over our heads. We were returning home. Nichole Young helped us both take that step forward toward a dream and a fresh start. Thank you again
