Whenever possible we strive to partner with others that share similar values.
To care is to give back. Our goal is to give back to you!
Background
The idea of the Elmstone Group had been brewing in the minds of Shari and Steven Gould for several years before it become a reality. They had always thought that real estate was a great business to invest in. However there was one small problem…neither of them knew much about the industry.
Shari L. Gould is a co-founder of the Elmstone Group of companies and the majority owner of the group’s property management company. Over the past decade she has grown the business from a one person operation with a handful of Single Family homes to a boutique multi-family property management company managing all of the group’s Multi-Family properties and hundreds of units.
Shari Gould owns and operates the property management company, Elmstone Group Property Management, LLC, that manages all of the group’s properties.
