Our Core Values (Community)
Rockwell Real Estate, KDRV Channel12 & The Salvation Army teamed up to help a local family in need. With rental rates on the rise and inventory at an extreme low we are finding that many people are struggling to either find a rental or even keep up with the rental prices. Rockwell Real Estate will be donating 3 months rent or up to $2500 towards someone's rent or mortgage. Rockwell Real Estate has been fortunate to be able to help a lot of first time home buyers and renters be able to purchase a home and we wanted to give back to those that are less fortunate.
Investing in Income & Multifamily Properties
Our team has helped numerous investors achieve their real estate goals, whether they're buying their first rental property or expanding an established portfolio. We specialize in all types of rental properties, from single-family homes and smaller multifamily units like duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, to larger multifamily projects, including 8-plexes and multi-million dollar apartment buildings. We assist investors in getting top dollar when selling their properties. For those looking to purchase, we go beyond traditional methods, exploring MLS boards, LoopNet, and other platforms, while also seeking out off-market opportunities by connecting with property owners considering selling.
