35 Years of Integrity.
22 Dedicated Experts. Real Service.
In an industry often defined by automated phone trees and outsourced labor, Real Property Services (RPS) stands as a testament to the power of local expertise. Founded in 1990, we began with a simple mission: to provide the Fargo-Moorhead community with a level of property maintenance and management that prioritized the person behind the property.
​
Over three decades later, that mission hasn't changed—it has only scaled. Today, RPS is a cornerstone of the regional real estate market, overseeing more than 250 properties and managing over 16,000 maintenance repairs annually. We aren't just a management firm; we are a specialized maintenance powerhouse built to protect your investments.
Our Roots: A Legacy of Service Since 1990
The story of RPS began in 1990 with a focus on condominium associations. We recognized early on that property owners weren't just looking for someone to collect dues; they were looking for a partner who understood the "operation, control, and oversight" of their physical assets.
​
As the Fargo-Moorhead area grew, so did we. Recognizing the increasing complexity of modern building systems, RPS expanded its reach to include homeowner associations, commercial retail centers, and industrial spaces. By keeping our technical team in-house, we ensured that every repair—from the smallest plumbing leak to large-scale capital renovations—met the high standards our founders established 35 years ago.
The RPS Difference:
Driven by C.A.R.E. Values
At the heart of our success is C.A.R.E.—a set of four guiding principles that dictate every decision we make on-site and in the office. These aren't just slogans on a wall; they are the benchmarks for our property maintenance excellence.
Constant Improvement
The world of building technology is always evolving. Whether it’s new energy-efficient HVAC systems or advanced building automation software, we believe in always getting better. By refining our processes and investing in the ongoing education of our 22 maintenance experts, we provide our clients with the most efficient solutions available.
Adapt to Change
In the Midwest, change is the only constant. Whether we are adapting to shifting economic markets or the unpredictable Red River Valley weather, our resilience allows us to stay ahead. When the unexpected happens, RPS doesn't scramble—we pivot and solve.
Results with Integrity
We are driven by outcomes, but we never compromise our ethics. Integrity in property maintenance means being honest about what a building truly needs. If a system can be saved through expert repair rather than an expensive replacement, we provide that honest feedback. Our clients trust us because we treat their budgets as if they were our own.
Encourage Excellence
We foster a culture where "good enough" is never the standard. By empowering our supervisors, property managers, and technicians to take ownership of their work, we bring out the best in our team. This commitment to high performance is why we maintain a 24-hour response time and a reputation for excellence.
Meet the Experts Behind the Service
While our stats are impressive, the "Real People" in our motto are what truly drive the brand. Our leadership and management teams bring a combined century of experience to your portfolio.
