MI Real Estate Management LLC was started by Kristen Smith.  Kristen is a licensed Real Estate Agent with Comquest Commercial LLC.  She has over 20 years of property management experience. She brings a wealth of knowledge to investors and tenants.  She specializes in collecting rents, keeping costs down, and protecting your investment.  With her experience she noticed there is also a need for a new management company that provides management services for owners with vacation or second homes. She started a Homewatch division of her management company to oversee these properties with the same care their owner would provide.

Why use a Homewatch service?
