Property management firm SJA Property Management has been awarded Silver in the Property Management category of The Seattle Times' 2026 Best in the PNW People's Choice Awards, improving on the Bronze it received in 2024. The awards are determined entirely by public vote, giving the recognition added weight as a direct reflection of customer satisfaction.
Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, SJA has managed rental homes in the Puget Sound area since 2009. Its portfolio now exceeds 1,000 homes across Washington, valued at more than $500 million, with most properties located in King and Snohomish Counties. The company provides full-service management for single-family and multifamily properties, including tenant screening, leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and inspections, while ensuring compliance with Washington's rental laws.
"This award belongs to our owners and residents who took the time to vote for us," said Devin Easterlin, CEO of SJA Property Management. "Property owners trust us with one of their most valuable investments. Being recognized by the community we serve tells us our focus on clear communication, careful screening, and consistent follow-through is making a real difference."
The recognition comes as the rental market in the Pacific Northwest continues to grow, with more investors seeking professional management to navigate complex regulations and tenant relations. SJA's eight written owner guarantees and more than 800 five-star reviews underscore its commitment to accountability. One Bellevue landlord shared, "I have had several bad experiences with property management companies. After about a year and a half under SJA, I can see they are doing their best. None of my repair requests have been denied, and they have been transparent about rental laws and what the lease agreement entails when we have had problematic tenants. Thank you to Amber and the SJA maintenance team for proving me wrong."
Beyond its core services, SJA contributes 5% of profits to local causes through the SJA Gives Back Program, which supports youth and education, housing and homelessness, and community well-being. The company holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and is a member of the Rental Housing Association and the National Association of Residential Property Managers.
For property owners in Long Beach and the surrounding area, SJA's award highlights the value of choosing a management partner with a proven track record. As the region's rental market evolves, such recognition may influence investor decisions and raise expectations for service quality.
