Places Management wasn't born in a boardroom. It started with a problem.
In 2016, our founder Darsey Nicklasson was managing her own boutique properties in Colorado Springs when she noticed something troubling: the available management options simply weren't built for communities like hers. Large companies prioritized massive complexes, while smaller operators lacked the systems to deliver consistent results.
"If we want something done right," she decided, "we'll have to build it ourselves."
By creating Places Management, Darsey learned the value of customer service, creating a true community, treating each unit as though it was her own home, and that boutique properties deserve just as much attention as big complexes.
