Our Story
Welcome to Lock and Key Rentals, where our journey is as unique as the services we offer. Founded by a dynamic team of real estate and property management experts, Lock and Key Rentals is the brainchild of two sisters, Eva Norton and Nina Shell, along with their husbands’ Matt Shell and Will Norton.
Nina Shell, a seasoned professional in property management, brings her extensive experience from managing properties in larger cities to our company. Her expertise lies in ensuring that every property under our management is not just a building, but a home for our tenants and a valuable asset for our investors. Matt Shell, Nina’s husband, complements the team with his skills as a licensed home inspector. His keen eye for detail and commitment to quality is what helps us maintain our properties in their top condition.
Eva and Will, both accomplished real estate agents, bridge the gap between investors seeking promising opportunities and tenants looking for their ideal home. Their deep understanding of the market and strong relationships with investors are instrumental in sourcing the best properties.
Our inception was a collective decision driven by a shared vision: to create a property management company that stands out through excellent service, effective communication, and a focus on maintaining properties at their peak, all while ensuring competitive rents. We believe in fostering strong relationships with our clients, built on trust and transparency.
At Lock and Key Rentals, we are more than just a company; we are a family that extends its values of care and dedication to every property we manage. Our commitment is to offer you an experience that is as seamless and comfortable as the homes we care for. Join us on this journey, where your property aspirations meet our expertise and passion.
