Your Broker in Northern Arizona

Managed Like It’s Our Own.

I’m Olivier “Ollie” Lessing Barré, designated broker of Barré Properties, and I personally oversee every property we manage in Northern Arizona. I’ve spent more than twenty years in real estate. In 2007 I founded a property management company on the Westside of Los Angeles, serving owners in Beverly Hills, Malibu, Calabasas and the neighborhoods around them, and grew it into a large family-run business before moving my family to Arizona in 2020.

We manage throughout Coconino and Yavapai counties, and Northern Arizona is a market we know and specialize in: Flagstaff’s university calendar and its winters, the cabin season in Munds Park, and the separate short-term rental rules of Flagstaff, Sedona, Coconino County and Yavapai County. When you call, you reach the broker who signed your agreement, not a call center or a rotating account manager.

Our relationships are built on handshakes, trust and accountability. We keep every owner’s information private, put every term in writing before anything is signed, and send monthly statements with every invoice attached.

Why Northern Arizona

One Region, Several Different Markets.

Northern Arizona is not one market. Flagstaff sits at about 7,000 feet below the San Francisco Peaks, where Humphreys Peak, at 12,637 feet, is the highest point in Arizona. It is the Coconino County seat and home to Northern Arizona University and Flagstaff Medical Center. The city counted 76,831 residents at the 2020 Census and an estimated 77,260 by July 2025, and the American Community Survey puts its owner-occupied rate at 42%, so most Flagstaff homes are rentals.

Down the I-17, Munds Park sits in the pines at 6,510 feet, about 21 miles south of Flagstaff. The 2020 Census counted 1,096 residents and 3,424 homes there, and 83% of those homes were counted as vacant on Census Day, the signature of a cabin and second-home market. Below the Mogollon Rim, Sedona, incorporated in 1988 and split between Coconino and Yavapai counties, and the unincorporated Village of Oak Creek under Bell Rock are red rock country, and the Verde Valley towns of Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Cornville and Camp Verde follow the river.

For an owner, each place is a different business. Flagstaff leases on the university calendar and through a real winter, Munds Park turns on the summer season, Sedona is a visitor market with its own permit rules, the Village follows Yavapai County’s, and the Verde Valley leans long-term. The City of Flagstaff, Coconino County, the City of Sedona and Yavapai County each set their own short-term rental requirements, and we price every property on its own comparables.

Also a Primary Focus

Commercial Property Management.

Retail and shopping centers, single-tenant net-leased pads, office, flex, small industrial, medical office and mixed-use in Northern Arizona — run as its own practice, because Arizona regulates nonresidential brokerage differently and commercial accounting has nothing in common with collecting a single rent check.

Lease abstraction and critical dates, CAM budgeting and annual reconciliation, transaction privilege tax, and the designated broker’s signature on every file — as A.R.S. § 32-2175 requires.

What You Get

Everything, For One Fee.

One rate covers the whole job. The things other companies bill separately are simply included.

Tenant Placement

Marketing, showings, and full screening — credit, background, income, and rental history. In a market with new inventory arriving constantly, speed to lease is what protects your return.

Rent & Accounting

Collection, owner disbursements, monthly statements with full reconciliation, and year-end reporting your accountant will not complain about.

Maintenance, At Cost

Vetted Northern Arizona trades, coordinated and supervised. Vendors bill their real rate and the invoice passes straight through with no markup on routine work. Major renovations and capital projects are quoted separately, with the supervision scope agreed in writing first.

Inspections

Move-in, move-out, and periodic condition inspections with photos, included in the fee rather than billed per visit.

Compliance & Trust Accounting

Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act compliance, proper trust accounting, and ADRE oversight. Licensed brokerage, general liability and E&O insured.

The Difficult Parts

Late rent, lease violations, notices, and the occasional eviction. This is the part owners hire out, and it is the part we take off your plate entirely.

What Northern Arizona Owners Should Know

Know the Local Rules.

The details that catch owners out in Northern Arizona, and how we handle each one.

Flagstaff licenses every short-term rental

Flagstaff City Code Chapter 3-12 requires a City license for each short-term rental, a 24-hour emergency contact who can respond within 60 minutes (the City can fine $1,000 every 30 days if it is not kept current), notice to adjacent, across-the-street and diagonal neighbors, at least $500,000 in liability coverage, a guest sex-offender check before each stay and no special events. We set it up and keep it current for the owners we manage.

Coconino County has its own permit

Outside city limits, in Munds Park, Kachina Village, Doney Park and the rest of unincorporated Coconino County, Ordinance No. 2023-04 requires an annual County short-term rental permit ($250), a state transaction privilege tax license before you apply, notice to adjacent and across-the-street neighbors, at least $500,000 in liability coverage or a qualifying platform policy, and a lawfully permitted dwelling: no RVs, tents or trailers, and no parties or large events.

Sedona permits each unit

The City of Sedona requires a separate short-term rental permit for each unit under City Code Chapter 5.25, renewed every year, with neighbor notice by certified mail or hand delivery, $500,000 in liability coverage, a guest sex-offender check and current emergency contacts. Penalties run from $500 to $3,500 per violation (Section 5.25.120).

Yavapai County outside the towns

In the Village of Oak Creek, Cornville and the rest of unincorporated Yavapai County, the County’s published guidance does not call for a separate rental permit. Since January 1, 2017 it has allowed short-term rentals only in structures permitted for overnight occupancy, with no events, and state law bars counties from prohibiting them (A.R.S. § 11-269.17). Cottonwood, Clarkdale and Camp Verde set their own rules inside town limits.

Winter at 7,000 feet

Flagstaff’s January nights average about 18°F, and the city averages roughly 90 inches of snow a year. A vacant home needs heat set and pipes protected, and roofs, decks and driveways need attention after storms. That work is done by licensed contractors and vendors, and we coordinate and supervise it for the owners we manage.

Register every rental

Arizona requires every owner of residential rental property to register it with the county assessor and update the record within ten days of a change (A.R.S. § 33-1902), and an owner who lives outside Arizona must name an in-state statutory agent. Every short-term rental also needs a transaction privilege tax license under A.R.S. § 42-5005.

For Owners Who Live Elsewhere

Your Eyes and Ears in Northern Arizona.

Many Northern Arizona owners live in the Valley, in California or out of state, and many cabins and second homes here sit empty for weeks at a time. We act as your eyes and ears on the property without you having to be there, coordinated and supervised by us and performed by vetted, insured providers at their real cost.

Home Watch

Scheduled interior and exterior checks between tenants or while you are away: systems run, irrigation verified, and the home made ready before you arrive.

Vendor & Project Oversight

Renovation, landscape and repair work watched on your behalf, with access controlled and progress documented in photos.

Arrival & Departure

For second-home owners: heat or cooling set, systems checked, grounds at standard and deliveries received before you land.

Owner Questions

Straight Answers.

What does property management cost in northern Arizona?
One all-inclusive rate, quoted per property once we have seen it. No setup fee, no inspection fee and no marketing charge — those are simply part of the service.
Is northern Arizona a good rental market?
Several good markets, each for a different reason. Most Flagstaff homes are rentals, about 58% in the 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey, and the university and the medical center keep long-term demand steady. Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek draw visitors through most of the year, Munds Park is a summer cabin market, and the Verde Valley leans long-term at a lower purchase price than Sedona. We will tell you honestly which business your specific property is in.
Who rents in northern Arizona?
In Flagstaff, people who work at the university, the medical center, the schools, government offices and the trades, plus students in homes near campus. In Sedona and the Verde Valley, visitors on the short-term side and healthcare, hospitality and trades workers on the long-term side. In Munds Park, mostly summer visitors from the Valley. Every applicant is screened to the same written standard.
How is Flagstaff different from the Valley?
Long-term leasing follows the academic year, so the best window comes before the fall semester, and a home that misses it competes for a smaller pool. Mountain properties also carry maintenance the Valley never sees: January nights average about 18°F and the city averages roughly 90 inches of snow a year, so freeze protection, snow removal and roof checks are line items. We budget for those before the first winter, not during it.
Do you manage short-term rentals in Sedona and Munds Park?
Yes. Sedona requires a City permit for each unit under City Code Chapter 5.25, and Munds Park, outside Flagstaff’s limits, needs a Coconino County permit under Ordinance No. 2023-04. We set up the permits, the tax license and the neighbor notices, keep them current, and model short-term against long-term honestly for every property.
Do you also sell property in northern Arizona?
Yes. We handle the sale when an owner decides to exit and the purchase when an investor wants a cabin, a Sedona home or a Verde Valley property. Management and brokerage under one roof means nobody has to be brought up to speed.
Do short-term rental rules differ between Flagstaff, Munds Park and the Village of Oak Creek?
Yes, because each sits in a different jurisdiction. Flagstaff licenses short-term rentals under City Code Chapter 3-12; Munds Park, Kachina Village and Doney Park are unincorporated Coconino County, which requires an annual County permit; the Village of Oak Creek is unincorporated Yavapai County, which allows short-term rentals in permitted dwellings with no events. Every one of them needs an Arizona transaction privilege tax license.
I live in the Valley or out of state. Can you look after my cabin or second home?
That is much of what we do here. You get one broker as your point of contact, an online owner portal, monthly statements with every invoice attached, and scheduled checks between stays or tenants, including freeze checks in winter, so you can see the property without driving up the hill.
