My wife and I owned a Condominium in Wauconda, Illinois while living in Oregon We had only a couple of tenants, but being absentee landlords was always a pain and a hassle Although it was new when we purchased it, over time there were issues that needed to be taken care of, and we had to do this.

My wife and I owned a Condominium in Wauconda, Illinois while living in Oregon. We had only a couple of tenants, but being absentee landlords was always a pain and a hassle. Although it was new when we purchased it, over time there were issues that needed to be taken care of, and we had to do this over the phone. Rent payments were often late, and required frequent interaction via phone, text, or email. Needless to say, this was very frustrating, and there was no way out because of the market collapse, so selling was not an option. We had to be patient and wait for the market to recover before we could sell.

In September of 2017, our tenant called to say that her washing machine which was located upstairs had overflowed, flooded and caused significant damage. We didn’t know what to do other than to call Servpro to go out and attend to the problem. It was at this low point that I started looking for someone to manage this property.

An internet search led me to the website of Wilder Management, Inc. Though desperate, I was impressed by the website and gave him a call. I was immediately impressed and relieved to have him help us. During the coming weeks, he proved to be a man of his word and took care of everything as good or better than we could have had we been there. At that point we hired him to manage the property until such time as the market recovered enough to enable us to sell. Rob took care of everything, and we worried not at all. He was an answer to our prayers. Our only regret was that we didn’t find him years earlier when we first bought this property.

We kept in periodic communication with him and this past spring we determined it might be a good time to put the property up for sale. We hired him to do this for us, and the rest of the story is history. The condo was sold, at the best possible price, with absolutely no hassle for us.

I have promised myself to never own another piece of income property, but if ever that should happen again I would hope to find someone of the intellect, character, and integrity of Rob Wilder to manage it for me. He is the BEST!!!!!

Through a death in the family, I became the new owner of a townhouse roughly 6 months ago. The previous inhabitant was unfortunately bed-bound, thus the property hadn’t been properly managed in a long time. There were moldings to fix, fixtures to tune up, and amenities to spruce before I could even think about getting someone in there to rent. I heard from a friend of a friend of Highlander Property Management and I couldn’t be a happier customer.

Firstly, Rob knows EVERYTHING there is to know about townhouses (and I assume any other type of property) and he isn’t bad to look at either. He helped me organize what needed to be fixed and helped give me an honest price on how much money it would take. It was a bit of a process, but in all, the townhouse was more than ready for someone to rent. Rob found me a good crop of tenants to choose from- he did everything from a credit search to contacting previous landlords. While the property I obtained is new to me, especially in this economy, I wanted to make sure the person I found to rent wouldn’t tear the place apart.

I am kind of a techy person, so I love the accessibility of the Highlander Property Management website. As an owner, I can go in a log in to see absolutely everything going on with my property. Both my tenants and I can request maintenance, pay rent, and see the history of payments. Without a special maintenance request, I can rest with a piece of mind knowing that Rob from HPM checks on my property twice a month anyway to make sure that it is being taken care of correctly and to make sure everything is working right for my tenants. HPM is a dream to deal with and I count myself lucky for finding this business!

We use Wilder Management to manage 2 properties after we moved out of state. We actually started with All Country Property management which was an ultimate disaster. Not a single one of our requests was being done without a minimum of 10 follow ups and even then not a single one was done correctly and we were regularly getting overbilled. I spent more time managing that property management company than I would managing the actual property. After about 6 months I could no longer take it and we switched over to to work with Wilder Management.

I was honestly very hesitant to even work with another property management company after the experience we had but I couldn’t be happier we made the switch. Working with Wilder management has been a breeze. They are extremely responsive to any and all requests and never need hand-holding to get things done. They go above and beyond to make sure both the homeowner and tenants are happy and always make sure they have clear communication on everything that is happening. They are flexible where needed with allowing you to use your own contractors but also have their own folks that do a great job at a very reasonable rates. Basically this is what a management company should be.

We rented a townhouse through Rob at Wilder Management and were very pleased with the attention, responsiveness, and assistance we received as tenants. We moved out of state but if we had not, we would have sought to rent again through Wilder Management. Rob is a great guy and very easy to work with!

I have being working with Rob for a year and he is FABULOUS:
He is reliable: questions are answered promptly, issues with tenants are dealt quickly. He returns phone calls, emails within 24 h.

Because he is a real estate agent as well, he knows the state laws and provides good advice. He listens, gives suggestion but ultimately you make the decision.
I am so glad I found him.

Anyone looking for a realtor or a property manager Rob is the man to go to.
