"My wife and I are long-distance real estate investors living in Japan. We started working with Bob and Jake in November 2019 and could not be happier about the way they turned around our under performing properties. Despite long distances, Bob and Jake are very responsive to our questions and requests to help us manage our portfolio effectively. We highly recommend East West Properties to anyone who is looking for proactive, reliable and personable property management in Syracuse."
