About Us
Nice houses for nice people (and their nice pets!)
Welcome to Wilson Family Rentals, we’d love to show you around! But before that, we thought we’d tell you a bit about our approach to renting.
We love pet owners because it has been our experience over the years that folks who have pets usually can and do know how to behave responsibly.
We do ask for references, and your pet (and you) have to sign a pet agreement that spells out what the requirements are for keeping pets at our properties.
We try really, really hard to be good neighbors to the people who live around our homes. People who live in the neighborhoods where we've been lucky enough to buy a house are mostly working people with families. They want their neighborhoods to be pleasant to live in, safe for their children and pets, and not noisy. The tenants who have enjoyed our homes the most have been willing to live in harmony with and reciprocate that approach to being a good neighbor.
We’re locals who own and manage our own properties. We’ve been offering "Nice Homes for Nice People" in Boulder for 50 years. Our philosophy is that we want to keep our houses in good condition so that we can attract tenants that want a nice place to live at a reasonable price. We believe that finding and keeping good tenants is the most important part of achieving our goal of being decent landlords renting nice houses.
You are dealing with owner management at all times. If you have a problem, or a request for a repair, or a question about your responsibilities, you're going to be speaking with one of us directly. No more getting lost in voice mail, or being ignored by management. We actively work towards making your experience with your home the best you will have in Boulder, Colorado.
Most of our houses have automatic sprinkler systems to help the tenants keep the yard in good shape with a minimum of effort. We also provide power lawnmowers for all of our houses so it is easy to cut the lawn and make the yard look nice.
We return security deposits with interest. Nothing makes me happier than to return a full deposit to our guests when they do decide to tackle new adventures. When I can return a full deposit, it means that you were responsible, and that I have gotten our home back from you in good condition ready to rent for our next guests. Interest is paid on all deposits at the rate set by City of Boulder ordinance for security deposits.
If something breaks we fix it as soon as we can. On average, our trade vendors like our plumber and our electricians have been working with us for over ten years. They are responsive and capable, and we try to treat them like gold because they are fully invested in our approach to making your life as comfortable as possible. They come when they say they will come. If you can't be there (or choose not to be there for any reason when they schedule the appointment), we'll meet them so you don't have to be bothered.
All our homes are no smoking (of anything) residences. This keeps the houses smelling fresh for people who don’t like the smell of smoke, which can be impossible to eradicate.
The whole idea is to make your home as comfy and as reasonably priced as we possibly can and still maintain the quality of the properties and good relations with the neighbors.
We have several properties to offer, so if you don't see something that fits your needs at the moment, please feel free to check back. We put additional homes on the market when they become available, or when current tenants let us know for sure they won't be re-renting for the next year.
And finally, thanks for considering our properties for your new home. My family and I really do appreciate it.
Don Wilson and the Wilson Family
