Eric Fisher started Midtowne Realty over 25 years ago. He has been joined by a staff that shares his passion to “do the hard work” of running a business in a responsible way. We work hard to attend to the details that are necessary to handle our buildings and residents in a way that promotes a positive environment both socially and physically. We have noticed that when residents feel we care about them, then they start caring about us and our properties. They take better care of our property, they stay longer, and they give us good referrals. This begins an upward spiral of respect and positivity that benefits us all: owners, residents, managers, maintenance personnel, and the surrounding community.

Even though at times we may fall short, please know that it is our objective to be a positive experience in your life. Our customers and owners are not rungs on a ladder for us, we do not have as a goal to increase our business size just for the sake of making more money. We want to earn a reasonable living for all our team while providing a quality product and excellent service to our clients and customers.
