    Why Poplar expanded to Nevada

     

    Poplar Homes’ acquisition of Marshall Stearns has expanded the company’s reach into the Nevada real estate market. With a strong economy, increasing population, and a high percentage of renter-occupied properties (46%), Nevada presents a promising opportunity for real estate investment and, therefore, property management.

    In addition, Nevada’s favorable tax laws and business-friendly environment make it an attractive location for companies looking to expand their operations. Poplar recognized the potential for growth and success in Nevada and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their services to the state’s homeowners, renters, and investors.

     

     

    What’s in it for Nevada homeowners

     

    The acquisition of Marshall Stearns by Poplar has brought many benefits to homeowners in Nevada. With Poplar’s expanded range of services, homeowners now have access to a wider variety of property management solutions tailored to meet their unique needs.

     

    Better financial protection

    With Poplar Homes’ Rent Guarantee, Nevada homeowners enjoy financial protection beyond industry standards. Homeowners can rely on rent payments coming in on the third business day of each month, even when the renter is a little behind on its payment. This creates cash flow stability for homeowners allowing them to focus on growing their rental property business rather than following up on rent payments. 

    Additionally, Nevada homeowners can benefit from Poplar’s Eviction Coverage. With this guarantee, homeowners can have peace of mind knowing they’re covered for up to $15,000 in legal fees in the unlikely event of an eviction. This guarantee is available for residents placed by Poplar Homes. 

     

    Access to a local team with national tools

    Poplar’s team of experienced professionals, proven systems, and national reach can help homeowners with a range of services, from marketing and tenant screening to maintenance and repair. 

    Paired with Martial Stearns’ deep understanding of the local market and their reliable boots on the ground already familiar to former Marshall Stearns clients, they can help homeowners maximize the value of their properties and find the right renters to fill their vacancies.

     

    Expansion of business opportunities

    The acquisition of Marshall Stearns by Poplar has opened up exciting opportunities for investors looking to expand their business in the Nevada real estate market. With a stronger market presence in Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, and North Las Vegas, Poplar is well-positioned to offer outside investors a reliable platform and proven management system to grow their rental property business.

    Moreover, Nevada investors can now expand their business in other states where Poplar operates. By entrusting their properties to a single property management company with a broad geographical reach, homeowners can take advantage of a streamlined approach to managing multiple properties in different locations. This unique advantage saves them time, money, and hassle while providing a consistent level of quality service across all properties. Poplar’s expansion has truly opened up a world of possibilities for real estate investors seeking to maximize their returns.
