"Jeremiah and his team at Galvanized Management are amazing!! I recently purchased a short-term rental in the Poconos and he was so helpful in getting us up and running quickly - we could not have done it without him! From house repairs to guest management his team is responsive, reliable and thorough. We do not live in the area and it has been such a comfort knowing we have Jeremiah as a local partner - HIGHLY recommend his services!"
