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. Unlike industry awards judged by panels, this recognition is determined entirely by public vote, making it a direct reflection of customer satisfaction across the Puget Sound region.
The Redmond-based company has managed rental homes since 2009 and now oversees more than 1,000 properties across Washington, valued at over $500 million. The majority of these homes are located in King and Snohomish Counties. This award matters because it signals that SJA's approach—rooted in clear communication, careful screening, and consistent follow-through—resonates with both property owners and residents.
"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 company's day-to-day operations include tenant screening and placement, leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, and ensuring compliance with Washington's rental laws for single-family and multifamily properties. SJA backs its services with eight written owner guarantees and has accumulated more than 800 five-star reviews. Such credentials are crucial in a sector where trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.
One Bellevue landlord described his experience: "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 property management, SJA allocates 5% of its profits to local causes through the SJA Gives Back Program, focusing on youth and education, housing and homelessness, and community well-being. This philanthropic commitment further strengthens its ties to the community and distinguishes it from competitors.
