McIntire Real Estate

McIntire Real Estate Inc. is a full-service property management, sales and investment firm with residential and commercial properties throughout Southern California. My wife and I founded the company in our apartment in West LA in 2012, and we are celebrating our 10 year company anniversary with over $800mm in assets under management.

In the beginning, we worked with one of the large retail banks. They offered a lot of incentives, but soon we started to get fee and account change notices — a fee for this, a fee for that, no longer offering original services, and no longer providing the support we needed. There was no consistency or trust because our banker would leave or change multiple times each year. We would have to rebuild that relationship with someone else and it got to the point we just stopped calling for support because we didn’t know who to even talk too.

Finally, a friend suggested that we talk to Scott Healy at 1st Century. We started working with 1st Century Bank in 2016. Today, we have over 200 accounts with the bank, and we are always opening new accounts within 24-48 hours when another property comes under our management. Though our needs are complex, the bank makes it easy to manage a large volume of accounts and they consistently meet our needs for speed and flexibility.
