Home Realty & Management

Fantastic experience: "Working with Jim Lagan has been an excellent experience. They handle all maintenance requests quickly and utilize an excellent online system that makes financial reporting incredibly easy for my accounting. They always find cost-effective solutions without cutting corners on repair quality." As a property owner, the biggest thing I look for is peace of mind, and Jim Lagan delivers exactly that. They treat my rental property as if it were their own, keeping me informed without overwhelming me with small details. If you want your investments handled with absolute professionalism, this is the team to hire. Jun & Joy (property Owner)

Fantastic experience: Great professionalism and customer service!

Fantastic experience: Jim is very awsome, respectful and outstanding to work with

Negative experience: Tenants - Trashed my property. Management also responsible for damages.

Fantastic experience: Me and my wife are first time parents and trusted Jim and his team to take care of us and the experience we had was amazing! They made the renting experience a great! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Fantastic experience: Home Realty and Management has been the most responsive and accommodating property manager I've experienced as a renter so far. There was never a long wait for service if problems arose, and I was always treated respectfully. I also appreciated their reminders on ways to care for the property when seasons changed. If you decided to work with them as a property owner or renter, then I'd imagine you'd be happy with their quality of service.

Positive experience: Three stars cause he did do a good job managing my property but glad to be out of business with him. Quick edit to respond: it wasn’t just the end, where you lied about now knowing as I made you aware in writing. You were pretty condescending the entire time we worked together. I stand by my statement. Take care.

Fantastic experience: The best property management company out there! I sincerely appreciate Jim and the team at Home Realty and how amazing they’ve been to myself and my entire family over these past couple of years! I highly recommend this business. I also want to shout out the vendors that Home Realty works with that have helped us with the typical home maintenance issues that inevitably arise. Every vendor is always so friendly and works quickly and efficiently. They’re awesome!

Fantastic experience: Jim has managed two of my properties for over a year and a half, and he does a stellar job keeping me up to date of any tenant issues that arise and develops a solution to keep everything running smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Jim Lagan of Home Reality and Management is a stellar property manager. As tenants of a property managed by Jim, we appreciated his prompt, friendly responses whenever we contacted him. The unit we lived in had a unique heating system problem and he worked diligently to rectify the situation for us. Jim is honest, fair, and accomplished, and we highly recommend him and Home Reality and Management.

Fantastic experience: We have had Home Realty & Management as our property manager for 1 year now. It has been great working with them. Jim always goes above and beyond for his tenant's.

Positive experience: Jim property managed our Highlands Ranch home for a year and a half. He is friendly, talkative, and professional. We initially went with Home Realty because Mike, who Jim bought the company from, was local to Highlands Ranch and seemed willing to be more hands on as a manager. Jim’s approach was much more hands off, and felt more sales-y. When the Highlands Ranch tornado hit our property, we didn’t know of the damage until over 24 hours later when a neighbor called us to tell us we had multiple broken windows, as Jim relied on the word of the tenant who had moved out early that there was no damage. It was an unfortunate miss, but something we would have hoped a property manager to take a more intentional role in quickly confirming. After we signed and were able to see the lease, we were disappointed to see the extent of the fees included for the tenants (application, execution, extension, modification). While all fees were well within the bounds of legal limits, as former renters, we appreciated leases that kept such fees to a minimum. Jim is a great choice for a property manager if you’re looking for someone to be communicative, make phone calls, and be a first call, but we wanted someone more hands on.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Home Realty & Management to anyone in need of professional residential property management services. Jim is very professional and having him manage my two investment properties has given me tremendous peace of mind. Jim strictly screens all applicants and has set criteria that he follows to ensure we only rent to high quality tenants. If any problems arise during the tenancy, or with my property, Jim has always taken care of the issues – informing me of each step along the way to resolution. He is very attuned to the local real estate market and has provided me with information from time to time to keep me up to speed. I am lucky to have found Jim and Home Realty as he continues to exceed my expectations with his diligent and focused work.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible. My experience with Home Realty and Management was a breeze beginning to end. If you are looking for a property manager who is personable and reliable look no further. The attention to detail and proactive management saved my husband and I so much time and stress. 100% recommend and will use again in the future.

Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience having Home Reality as the property management company for the house we recently rented. From the beginning, our property manager Mike, took great care in making our move in very comfortable and easy, as we were moving in from out of state. Mike had to transition the property over to another manager halfway through our lease, but this did not impact our experience at all. We then had Jim, who was just as great with his communication skills and ensuring we continued to have a good rental experience. Jim helped give us excellent resources for a carpet cleaning agency for our move out, and helped transition our water and utilities back over out of our name. Overall, we had a great experience with Home Reality and Management!

Fantastic experience: Working with Jim and Emalie has been a wonderful experience. All calls are returned promptly and they always work hard to get vendors out for repairs as quickly as possible. As a resident, I don't have any complaints!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I worked with Mike when we rented a house in Aurora, CO. This was our 15th move over the past 27 years, and Mike was by far the best Property Manager we’ve ever encountered. He was always responsive and helpful during our 2 year stay. He worked well with us as renters, while ensuring the property owner’s interests were addressed. I would highly recommend his services if you’re in the area and in need of a company to manage your property.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Mike as our property manager, and he was fantastic! Always available and communicative, made living at our property easy and worry free.

Fantastic experience: Mike was fantastic to work with. Was easy to communicate with and always prompt.

Fantastic experience: Tener a esther schachter al frente es una esperiencia divina una mujer bien preparada responsable ayuda atodo personas que nececita su ayuda e rentando por mucho tiempo con I home realty deverdad que no cambiaria I home Realty por nada atte ana Reyes

Fantastic experience: Back in 2016 Mike helped us with the purchase of our first home after being highly recommended to my husband and I by a co-worker. When the time was right to move on from that property this year and sell our home, we knew we wanted to work with Mike again and take our business to Home Realty & Management. Having never sold a house before, and with all of the uncertainty around COVID, we had a lot of questions, and Mike was amazing. He listened to our concerns, helped us understand our options, and supported us in every way. Every time we have worked with him, he is incredibly responsive and always made us feel like we were a priority to him. He has a great network of connections to assist with inevitable needs of preparing a house for showings/inspection items and his recommendations never let us down. His communication style is clear and concise, and he does a great job of explaining the complicated jargon and legal documents included in real estate. If we are ever looking to buy in the area again, I know we will want to work with Mike. He's a wonderful agent and we highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Mike has been incredibly professional and diligent in his work. He was able to rent out my property within weeks of the listing with zero issues whatsoever. He is extremely responsive to any inquiries and definitely puts his clients first. I highly recommend working with Mike if you plan on renting out your property!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Mike when I first came to Denver and he completely changed any prior misconceptions I have had of Realtors. Working with Mike was Professional, Efficient, and incredibly relaxing as Mike foresaw and was fully prepared for any challenges that may come up. Mike communicates in a great manor so that we are not surprised but instead relaxed and confident in our choices when realty is concerned. What I appreciate most when working with Mike is his incredible work ethic along with his calm demeanor. This has not always been the case when I was unfortunately using others in the industry. I look forward to the next time when I can use Mikes services and that of Home Realty & Management again.

Fantastic experience: Very professional. Very helpful. Always ahead of the game. We have not had to worry about anything when we work with Mike. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: We have worked with Mike for 10 years (as a realtor and property manager for our home) and the service he and his team provide is exceptional. He is resourceful and communicates effectively. Extremely knowledgeable of market trends, and client needs. Choose Home Realty and the stress of renting will be alleviated.

Fantastic experience: Amazing company to work with. Mike made everything so smooth and easy at move in. Highly recommended company. 5 stars :)

Fantastic experience: I have purchased a home using Mike twice now. I would not purchase again in the future without him. He is amazing! Mike is so professional and accurate in his guidance with a stressful process of buying a home. He is with you every step of the way if he does not have the answer to something he will find someone who does. He is patient kind and great at putting you in the home that you ask for. My first purchase was for a large home and my second was for a small home during a divorce. Mike made the experience a great one from start to finish even with not the best circumstances. He is great at responses and guiding you through the process. You will not go wrong with utilizing his valuable services. Having Mike by my side was priceless and left no unanswered questions. I ask a lot of questions! He is great and I will continue to use him in future purchases.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Mike enough. For our house in southeast Denver, he served as both our property manager and later our realtor. As our property manager, my husband and I trusted him completely to make sure our home was cared for and our tenants had a professional to work with. There were so many times my husband and I looked at each other and said, "Thank goodness we have Mike." When we decided to sell, Mike went above and beyond as our realtor. He provided well-researched advice on different improvement options and respected the decisions we made. He suggested contractors and acted as a point person for the improvements we made. He made the whole process a walk in the park for us. We sold for our goal, as the cherry on top. We highly recommend Mike both as a property manager and as a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Was a tenant for 3 years under this management. Always had great service and never any problems!

Fantastic experience: Mike Giallanza was a pleasure to work with during the two years our family lived in a rental property. He was always professional and very knowledgeable when we had questions. Furthermore, he had solutions when problems came up and followed through on those solutions to assist us as a tenant and our landlord to end those problems. I’ve rented for the past seven years and I’ve never had a property manager as great as Mike.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Stars & Stripes for the three years that I rented. Mike was always courteous, professional, and prompt. He helped make the whole renting experience smooth and hassle-free from start to finish. Very highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Mike G especially and the team at Stars and Stripes made what is often an adversarial arrangement of landlord and tenant a non-event. They first and foremost really care about their clients rental properties and so want them to be kept in top condition. That means the tenant naturally feels the same and the experience is great. Responsive, and respectful! Thanks Mike!

Fantastic experience: The absolute BEST experience working with Mike! Everything went smoothly and would recommend to anyone! Especially any military! Thanks for being so amazing!

Fantastic experience: Working with Mike as a pleasure; was able to fulfill every request I had as a tenant and made both my move in and move out transitions pleasant. I would work with Mike again on locating my next home.

Fantastic experience: Mike Giallanza at Stars & Stripes Homes DTC served as the property manager for my house when my family relocated out of Colorado in 2009. In 2016, he was my listing agent. Mike was professional, trustworthy, responsive, and highly effective as a manager and listing agent over the long-haul. He helped greatly in lowering the stress associated with owning an out-of-state rental property. When problems arose due to tenant or maintenance issues, I could count on getting timely and cost-effective problem resolution. His service included going above and beyond on multiple occasions. For example, following severe weather damage he assisted in coordinating activities of the insurance adjusters, handymen, and roofing specialists. In selling my house, he did a great job in negotiating price and terms. Mike was easy to communicate with and was always happy to share real estate advice. I highly recommend Mike as a property manager and agent. Jeremy S.

Fantastic experience: It was such a pleasure dealing with Mike Giallanza on renting our new home. He is very professional and knows his stuff. We looked at a house on a Thursday and signed a new lease by Monday. He has made the process very easy and fast. I will recommend anyone that is looking to buy or rent a home to contact Mike. He is always available to answer emails calls or texts. My wife and I couldn't be happier with his service.

Fantastic experience: Mike was a great real estate agent. Very patient with first time home buyers, and low pressure. Also great at explaining details. Showed us lots of houses and properties to both explore our interests and narrow down on the perfect home for us.

Fantastic experience: When my husband and I first moved to Colorado in 2011 we rented a property from him and he was a wonderful landlord. When it came time to buy a house in 2013 we called up Mike and he had no problem finding us a great house in our price range. Now in 2016 we are selling that house and Mike got us multiple offers the first day of showing, all above asking price! He's amazing at what he does and he really takes care of his clients. I would highly recommend him for renting or for buying and selling!

Fantastic experience: Mike has been wonderful to work with over the past 2 years!! I will use him in the future and have already recommended him to many people!! Thanks so much Mike for making our move so much easier!!

Fantastic experience: Mike had been my property manager for five years before he helped me sell my house recently. Mike has given me the greatest possible help! He truly is a blessing! He always brought the highest quality tenants. During the past five years, there were only couple minimal maintenance issues which he had his contractor fixed it timely and in a very reasonable price. When the lease had expired, he helped me list it on the market for sale; my house went under contract within two days and was sold for more than the listing price. It’s truly been a pleasure working with Mike. He is very kind, has good integrity, and knows the real estate extremely well. He has been taking excellent care of my house, giving me helpful advices, and most importantly he has given me the peace of mind! Even though I live out of the state, I’ve never worried about my house since Mike took it over. If you are looking for a property manager/realtor who is good and honest, and you come across Mike’s contact info, you don’t need to look further, because you’ve already found the best!

Fantastic experience: I rented a house from S&S (Mike) for 3 years and it was great. Mike always promptly took care of any issues that arouse. He's very professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Mike Giallanza is an exceptional Real Estate professional. He not only did his job but he went beyond the call of duty on many occasions. We never had to wait too long for an item to be repaired. We had an awesome experience with Stars and Stripes Homes DTC.

Fantastic experience: Mike is awesome! He's the best property manager we ever had. Very on top of things. He's very easy to communicate with, and is incredibly prompt with maintenance requests. He goes above and beyond for his tenants. He even helped us purchase our first home after renting! We absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to rent in Denver.

Fantastic experience: I have rented private residences from property management companies before because the service generally wins out over large apartment complexes, but even so, Stars & Stripes Homes has been my best experience thus far! Everyone I met and worked with was extremely professional. Their website makes it so easy to pay rent and make service requests any time of day. They respond to service requests within 24 hours AND all the contractors they use are professional, friendly, and efficient! Mike Giallanza is easy to get a hold of and always very helpful. He was upfront about terms and expectations of the lease. I was able to easily extend my lease to avoid moving mid-school year. Part of the lease includes having the residence professionally cleaned including carpets before vacating. After just moving to a new place where this is not required, I can't say enough how grateful I was to move into a place with confidence that it is spotless. I wish my new property management team had these same standards. The only reason I did not continue with SSTH was because I needed a place with a yard for a big dog and there was nothing available in my time frame/budget. Nonetheless, I will definitely be checking their listings next time I'm in the market.

Fantastic experience: I have had an absolutely amazing experience with Stars & Stripes Homes. They are the most responsible leasing company I have ever dealt with. Easy to get ahold of and always attending to my needs. I'm really appreciative of how easy they have made my leasing process.

Fantastic experience: We were renters in our home for well over three years. Mike at Stars & Stripes was awesome! He was always super fast to respond to any requests. He even had to calmly walk me through shutting off a rogue water valve once - all while on the phone listening to my panic! We were very well taken care of. I highly recommend Stars & Stripes to anyone looking to rent - or to anyone looking for management for a home they need to rent out. Great company!!

Fantastic experience: Stars & Stripes Homes DTC has been one of the best property management companies I have every worked with. I only had a few small maintenance issues while living in one of their properties, but any time I put in a maintenance request, they were incredibly responsive and worked with me until the issue was resolved. I also had some personal issues that arose that forced me to to have to break my lease, and I couldn't have asked for more compassion and thoughtfulness than I received from this company. I would HIGHLY recommend Stars & Stripes Homes to anyone looking for a responsible and responsive property management company!!!!!

Positive experience: I had a great experience as a renter with Stars & Stripes Homes. I worked with Mike Giallanza who was extremely professional, fair and helpful. He was responsive and helpful when possible. Their online rent payment system was easy and convenient. I would rent from him again should the opportunity present itself in the future.

Fantastic experience: I have had the best experience with Brian and Mike. They took over the property management of my house with some very difficult tenants. They are worth every penny and have made this experience virtually painless. I would recommend them to anyone! I love them =)

Fantastic experience: I recommend Michael for managing rental homes and also as a real estate agent. He did both for me on the same home. He handled a very sensitive issue with integrity and professionalism. He also listed my home and made specific recommendations that really helped in the sale of my home. His negotiation skills are refined and success driven. He is multi faceted in his thinking. He answered all my calls and questions. A great real estate agent, property manager.
