About Blue Fox Properties LLC
Blue Fox Properties LLC is a residential property management company serving Tucson and communities across Southern Arizona. The company specializes exclusively in managing unfurnished single-family rentals, helping landlords and homeowners lease and manage their properties while helping residents find rental homes. Its stated mission is "to provide a hands-free rental house management solution and a seamless rental experience," with services designed for owners who want professional support instead of handling the daily responsibilities of self-management.
The company works with both first-time landlords and experienced investors. Its process begins with evaluating a property and its rental potential, including a free rental analysis to help owners understand how much rent their house may bring. Blue Fox Properties also assists clients who are considering buying a first or additional rental property, with the goal of supporting longer-term investment plans. For homes preparing to enter the market, the company's Rent Ready Maximizer is intended to help determine what a property needs before it is promoted.
Marketing and leasing are central parts of the company's work. Blue Fox Properties promotes rental homes with high-quality photography, walkthrough videos, and other marketing efforts. Its "People It" process focuses on finding residents through a screening and leasing system. The company also provides resources for prospective residents, including information about resident requirements and costs, relocation, frequently asked questions, and available rental homes. Current residents can pay rent online and submit maintenance requests through the company's website.
Blue Fox Properties was founded by Steve Schultz, who began building his own portfolio of residential rental properties before creating a company that could manage those rentals according to the standards he expected for himself. Schultz earned a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from New Mexico State University and began his professional career with Shell Oil Company before working for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He later studied property management practices through the National Association of Residential Property Managers, known as NARPM, and pursued education and leadership opportunities within the organization.
The company identifies itself as the only Certified Residential Management Company, or CRMC, in Southern Arizona. Under Schultz's leadership, Blue Fox Properties became one of fewer than 50 companies nationwide to hold that designation. Schultz holds NARPM's Master Property Manager designation and was selected as the organization's National President in 2017. He is also one of three Arizona Department of Real Estate certified instructors in Tucson who teach continuing education courses in residential property management. Blue Fox Properties' vision is "to positively impact one of life's most stressful events: moving."
Owners interested in working with the company can begin by scheduling an initial consultation, followed by a property walkthrough. Blue Fox Properties then handles the paperwork for approval before taking over management of the home. The company serves Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Rancho Sahuarita, and Vail. Rental seekers can review available homes through the website, while current residents have online tools for rent payments and repair requests.
