“IPS” is owned and operated by Ed & Linda Koleen, both licensed Real Estate Brokers, licensed since 1986 & 1997 respectively, while being a part of Koleen Realty.

lt of that… we had established a rather successful template to ensure positive results - while maximizing income for our clients. As Real Estate Brokers, we began representing Investors who needed Property Management services. On a case by case basis, we began offering our services to those Clients who requested it, as a separate division of Koleen Realty. As more and more Clients and services were added, we realized there was a real “need” for trustworthy Property Managers with professional expertise. Linda’s background in Accounting & Marketing and Ed’s in Sales & Customer Service provided a strong foundation for the start of a partnership! We then founded “IPS” Property Management in February of 2001, specializing in single-family Residential homes and/or other properties our Clients owned. Our services then expanded to include commercial properties & Vacation Rentals whenever required. We are a one-stop Shop and are flexible to customizing programs to meet the ever challenging needs of the Market and our Clients. We are a member of CAA (California Apartment Association), CBA (Credit Bureau Associates), CAR (California Association of Realtors), NAR (National Association of Realtors) and Fresno MLS (Multiple Listing Service).
“IPS” Property Management has been offering high-quality, hassle-free leasing services to Fresno & Madera County Owners. We have the experience and dedication necessary to handle your property management needs both professionally & competently. Property Management is all about Customer Relations and treating each other with respect. If we treat residents with respect then they are likely to treat your home with respect. We pride ourselves in this area and realize it’s been the key to our success. You, the Client, remain always the Boss – we perform as your Manager, offering Pros and Cons in every scenario – but ultimately it is your property and we will do as instructed, within the law. We can not eliminate all the risks associated with owning investment real estate, however, our knowledge and expertise can drastically reduce them. About Us
