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 entirely by public vote, reflecting the preferences of readers across the Pacific Northwest region.
Based in Redmond, Washington, SJA Property Management has been managing rental homes in the Puget Sound area since 2009. Its portfolio now exceeds 1,000 homes across Washington, with a total value of more than $500 million. The majority of these properties are 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, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and inspections. It also ensures that owners remain compliant with Washington's rental laws for both single-family homes and multifamily properties. SJA backs its work with eight written owner guarantees and has received more than 800 five-star reviews.
One Bellevue landlord shared his experience: "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."
In addition to its property management services, SJA Property Management gives 5% of its profits to local causes through the SJA Gives Back Program. This initiative supports youth and education, housing and homelessness, and community well-being.
