SJA Property Management has been awarded Silver in the Property Management category of The Seattle Times' 2026 Best in the PNW People's Choice Awards. The recognition marks an improvement from the Bronze award the company received in 2024. Winners are determined by public vote, making the honor a direct reflection of community support.
The Redmond, Washington-based company has been managing rental homes in the Puget Sound area since 2009. Its portfolio now exceeds 1,000 homes across Washington, valued at more than $500 million, with the majority located in King and Snohomish Counties.
"This award belongs to our owners and residents who took the time to vote for us," said Devin Easterlin, CEO of SJA Property Management. "Property owners trust us with one of their most valuable investments. Being recognized by the community we serve tells us our focus on clear communication, careful screening, and consistent follow-through is making a real difference."
The company's services include tenant screening and placement, leasing and rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, and ensuring compliance with Washington's rental laws for single-family homes and multifamily properties. SJA backs its work with eight written owner guarantees and has accumulated more than 800 five-star reviews.
One Bellevue landlord shared a testimonial: "I have had several bad experiences with property management companies. After about a year and a half under SJA, I can see they are doing their best. None of my repair requests have been denied, and they have been transparent about rental laws and what the lease agreement entails when we have had problematic tenants. Thank you to Amber and the SJA maintenance team for proving me wrong."
Beyond property management, SJA gives 5% of its profits to local causes through the SJA Gives Back Program, which supports youth and education, housing and homelessness, and community well-being.
