After working many years for what Steve considers one of the biggest of the "big box" management companies, Steve decided that the time was right to start anewand more personal residential property management company. Renters Outlet specializes in the Dakota and Scott County area, and all of our agents reside in Dakota and Scott Counties. We have little to nointerest in becoming one of the "Big Box" management companies, as weare completely focused on providing the highest possible level of customer service to our clients.

In 2011 Steve decided that there was a need for a smaller property management company, that could provide more personal customer service, and worked exclusively in Dakota and Scott Counties. With that objective, a company called Renters Outlet, LLC was formed.
