Est. 2010 · Schenectady, New York

A quieter
way to look
after homes.

Where the work happens. 1243 Kings Road · Schenectady

Homes, townhouses, and small apartment buildings across the Capital Region — managed with the care of a neighbour and the discipline of a firm. Leases, repairs, statements, and the hundred small decisions in between.

No portals. No scripts. A phone that gets answered, and books you can actually read.

With care, J. Raymond Principal · Since 2010
§ 01 What we do

The work, itemised.

A well-run building is quiet. Nobody notices it — and that is precisely the point.

§ 02 A little about us

Helderberg Property Company is a small residential management firm, and we mean small on purpose. We take on a limited number of buildings in the Capital Region so that the person who answers your call is the person who actually knows your property.

We are not a portal, a franchise, or a platform. We are a firm of neighbours — the kind who notice when a gutter is pulling away, keep a good plumber on speed dial, and remember which tenant has the dog that doesn't like the mailman.

Let's talk about
your building.

§ 01 Services

01

Full residential management

Single-family homes, townhouses, duplexes and small apartment buildings. One contract, one point of contact, one monthly statement.

24-hour emergency response

Burst pipes, heat failures, lockouts. A staffed line and a documented escalation path for every property under management.

We'll tell you honestly.

§ 01 About

A small firm
with a long memory.

Helderberg Property Company, LLC is a residential property management firm based in Schenectady, New York. We were registered in the state in 2010 and have kept the same address, the same phone number and, largely, the same tradespeople ever since.

The name comes from the hills west of Albany — the Helderberg escarpment — a stretch of land that has always been about homes rather than towers. It is a fair description of what we do: houses, townhomes and small apartment buildings, mostly in the Capital Region, managed for owners who would rather not think about them every week.

What we believe

Property management has an unglamorous reputation, and much of it is earned. Our answer is simple: be reachable, be accurate, and be boring about money. Statements go out on time. Repairs get quoted before they get done. Tenants are treated like people who live somewhere, not like line items.

Reachable

Owners and residents call a phone that is answered. If we cannot pick up, we call back the same working day. The 24-hour emergency line is staffed by someone who can actually dispatch a trade.

Accurate

A management agreement should describe exactly what is included, what is extra, and how fees are calculated. Ours does. If something is unclear, it is our job to fix the wording, not yours to guess.

Boring about money

Monthly statements, owner draws, reserve balances, invoices attached. No surprises at year end, no mystery line items, no chasing.

The practical details

We are a New York limited liability company. Our office is at 1243 Kings Road, Suite 102, Schenectady, NY 12303. You can reach the office at (518) 630-7478 or by email at jraymond@helderberg.us.
