Our Agents Represent The Shield of Service

Bill Cannon’s focus is on marketing and managing rentals and condominiums. His portfolio includes both rental buildings and condominium associations with commercial space on site. Homes are very personal to people. Often the home is the largest investment for condominium owners or the largest part of a renter’s monthly budget. Bill focuses on customer service and getting repairs done right the first time. The landscape of property management is always changing so a lot of his personal time is devoted to keeping himself updated. Listening skills and deductive reasoning are the two most common skills he uses each day.
