About Us
Farnsworth-Hill, Inc. was founded in 1982 as a Property Management and Investment brokerage firm. With over 35 years of experience, we have developed a diversified portfolio of office, retail, apartments & condominiums primarily on the North Shore.
A PERSONAL APPROACH
Farnsworth-Hill, Inc. is boutique in size which provides personal attention for each owner and building while maintaining a powerful reputation on the North Shore. With our presence in the community, at the property and our availability for owners, Farnsworth-Hill, Inc. is a “hands-on” Property Management company. Frequent on-site inspections, communication with owners regarding scheduled maintenance, and regular check- ups with building employees are standard procedures. Each property is assigned a dedicated member of our team, to serve as a contact for the ownership and to oversee all aspects of a building’s care and maintenance. Our 24-hour phone system and committed team of maintenance personnel means that your property and its tenants will receive the needed attention, no matter the time of day.
Communication among everyone involved -owners, management, and building staff- is essential to maintaining a positive public image and keeping the ownership’s goals for a building on track. We are always open to suggestions or comments the individual owners have to improve operations.
