Who We Are
With everything we do, we aim to connect great people to great homes so that we can all achieve more.
As real estate investors ourselves, we discovered a gap in the market. Property Management firms were failing us in performance, transparency and efficiency. We decided to change that. One Village was founded out of needing a solution to our own problem. We operate our company on our three main principles: honesty, transparency and efficiency.
One Village is a locally owned and operated real estate company serving the Triangle and Triad area, focusing on Property Management and full-service Investor Asset Acquisitions. Our unique and innovative approach to real estate transactions and property management, paired with a proven business model that focuses on adapting the latest technology, puts us ahead of the competition.
Our dedication to serve our clients is backed by clear policies, transparent pricing and a commitment to deliver on our promises. In short, we do what we say we are going to do. We produce quality work so that our investors, tenants, and team can all flourish.
