Our Mission
Legacy Realty & Property Management, LLC is a property management company specializing in apartments, houses, condos, vacation rentals and commercial property. The Legacy Management Team consists of carefully trained professionals dedicated to providing the finest services available to residents, owners and community partners.
The Company and Management Staff
Legacy Realty & Property Management, LLC is a small, family owned company that serves the Centre County community, with most of our properties located in the heart of Happy Valley, downtown State College.
Owners, Brad and Jennifer Karch willingly share their resources by investing in business efforts that seek to increase the quality of life for residents of Happy Valley. The Karch’s work diligently to embrace the opportunity to teach young tenants about their first rental experience. Understanding that is a delicate balance of hand holding for students who have never been on their own and holding young adults accountable for their choices like making the rent payments on time and reporting maintenance issues.
Our Services
Student Rentals – Generations of Penn State students, professors and alumni have lived in our Orlando building. Enjoy housing that is built to last and has historic beauty. Brick buildings, hardwood floors, crown molding and many vintage touches. We put the focus on affordability, location, and variety in order for you to find something that fits your unique style. We have all sizes, from studios to nine bedroom boarding houses.
Commercial Complexes – Legacy Realty & Property Management, LLC serves a wide range of commercial tenants —from a small, single store front to government offices, from local non-profits to major institutions. We serve owners, investors and tenants with a full spectrum of integrated commercial property management services.
Residential Owners – We offer a menu of services so you can choose between having us manage just certain aspects of your property to offering full service management – a good company will find the tenants, collect the rents, ensure all tenant landlord laws are met, handle all maintenance issues, maintain communication with the landlord and make prompt payment schedules to the landlord.
Investing in our team and our community
We are not a good property management company because we mow the lawn regularly, pay school taxes on time or have coffee and cookies for our students during finals week. We are successful because our people are amazing. Legacy embraces the whole person and works diligently to help our owners and staff find a positive work life balance.
Some of the ways we do that:
• Building a collaborative environment
• Bringing our pets to work
• Closing the office between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day
• Fridays off in June and July
• Participating in United Way Day of Caring
• Volunteering for the Central PA Festival of Arts
• Braving frigid water to support the YMCA in the Polar Bear Plunge
• Family style office lunches
• Flexibility that accommodates sports team schedules, school closings and family obligations
• Enjoying a day at the Centre County Grange Fair
• Lunchtime walking
Legacy Realty strives to empower the staff to make a difference, challenge them to reach their full potential, and unite them in sustaining Legacy Realty as a truly great place to work.
