Short Term Rental
"Jeremiah and his team at Galvanized Management are amazing!
I recently purchased a short-term rental in the Poconos and he was so helpful in getting us up and running quickly - we could not have done it without him! From house repairs to guest management his team is responsive, reliable and thorough.
We do not live in the area and it has been such a comfort knowing we have Jeremiah as a local partner - HIGHLY recommend his services!"

Maintenance
“I moved into one of their properties back in 2022, and I’ve had nothing but a positive experience since day one. The management team has been professional, responsive, and genuinely attentive whenever I’ve had a question or needed assistance.
The property itself has been well-maintained, and any maintenance requests I’ve submitted have been handled quickly and efficiently. It’s rare to find a property management company that truly values its tenants, but they’ve made me feel taken care of and at home here."
