Company Profile
Witman Properties has been serving the Pioneer Valley as a full-service property management company since 2005. We specialize in the ongoing management and maintenance of single-family, multi-family, commercial rental properties and vacant properties. Typical services provided include monthly inspections, 24 hour on-call emergency services, routine lawn mowing, snow plowing, groundskeeping, apartment leasing, rent collection, home improvement contracting, and handyman services. Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of rentals from low income and subsidized housing developments to single-family homes. Since 2014, we have served as the City of Springfield’s Deputy Tax Title Custodian, gaining significant experience in municipal property management.
With a staff of 50 employees we currently manage approximately 1,200 units in the Pioneer Valley with a concentration in Greater Springfield MA. We have maintenance personnel working daily to provide routine groundskeeping and handyman services throughout the pioneer valley daily. The diversity of our staff’s skills and the flexibility of scheduling allow us to respond daily to a variety of maintenance needs. Key maintenance technicians work collaboratively to maintain 24/7 emergency on-call services.
Since the purchase of our new company headquarters in 2017, we have built out the Pioneer Valley’s largest dedicated property management facility. With over 12,000 sq. ft. of office, shop, mechanical and storage space customized for property management, we can serve our clients with unparalleled efficiency and reliability.
In 2017, we also introduced a new budget plan pricing program which offers fixed monthly pricing for all year-round groundskeeping needs. This program has been very popular among large landlords and property management companies who subscribe with us for their groundskeeping and snow removal needs. It allows them to accurately anticipate and budget year-round costs for mowing, fall and spring cleanups, snow removal and pruning.

History
Anthony Witman founded the business in 2005, initially serving the Amherst-area landlords with essential maintenance services such as trash cleanouts and lawn mowing services.
While landscaping alongside Philosophical Gardening owner and mentor Scott Hunter, Witman became impressed with Scott’s ‘customer for life’ strategy. Hunter’s theory was that by responding quickly to customers' simple and small needs was the best way to ensure he would be their first call for all future work. Building off this principal belief, Witman always ensured availability for same-day and next-day service for emergencies and small projects.
The promptness of service, availability for new customers and affordable pricing make OUR services coveted by homeowners and landlords alike.
As the volume of work continued to expand, the primary focus of the business became rental property management, property maintenance, and landscaping. Witman registered his company as Witman Properties (DBA) around 2006 and in 2008, Witman Properties (DBA) became incorporated into Witman Properties, Inc. Today, with a staff of over 50 full and part-time employees Witman Properties is able to efficiently manage and maintain over 1,200 units throughout Western MA and the Pioneer Valley. Our regular lawn mowing and snow plowing routes include but are not limited to the communities of Springfield, Holyoke, Chicopee, West Springfield, Longmeadow, South Hadley, Amherst, Hadley, Northampton, and Belchertown.
Experience
Since 2005, we have gained experience in all aspects of residential and commercial property management, including tenant-landlord law, State Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410, building code, and local ordinances.
Experienced in all aspects of residential and commercial property management
Since 2010, we have acted as a receiver appointed by the Western Housing Court to take control of blighted properties. Cities in which we have worked under as a receiver include Holyoke, Springfield, South Hadley, Chicopee, West Springfield, Easthampton, Leverett, Williamsburg, and Lenox. As a receiver in these communities we have rehabilitated more than thirty blighted properties, and in doing so we have worked closely with each city's Code Enforcement and Building Departments.
As the caretaker of your property, we understand how important it is to have good documentation and record keeping. We are continually improving and investing in systems, such as time-stamped photos, to ensure all work done on-site is properly documented. Both our office and maintenance staff utilize sophisticated property management software to track and document maintenance requests and orders.
Who We Work For
We manage property for everyone, from homeowners looking to rent or maintain their beloved homes to landlords with large portfolios in excess of 100 units who benefit from the cooperative work environment in our office. We have excellent systems to manage and maintain vacant properties for banks and municipalities, including the City of Springfield’s portfolio of tax title properties. Our commercial clients find the speed and quality of service ideal for satisfying the high demands of their business. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, or commercial property owner, you should talk to us about your maintenance and groundskeeping needs.
