Park managers
Storz Management Company
Storz Management Company manages manufactured home communities, mobile home parks, RV parks and active 55+ communities on behalf of owners. The company operates across California, Oregon and Nevada, and its FAQ also describes managing parks in Arizona.
The management program covers financial reporting and dashboards, rent collection, vacancy management and compliance, on-site staff hiring, training and oversight, and bulk purchasing to hold down operating costs. The firm describes its approach as three pillars — experience, innovation and communication — and says its management team comes from real estate, hospitality and finance backgrounds.
Alongside third-party management the company sponsors mobile home community investments, running due diligence, underwriting, capital raising, management and ongoing investor reporting. It reports leading the acquisition of more than 25 parks with approximately $200 million of invested capital. The founder began his real estate career in Northern California in 1957, moved into the mobile home park sector in 1970, and formed Storz Management Company in 1971.
The website gives a post office box in Orangevale, California rather than a street office, and the firm also lists brokerage on its contact form, so ask how management, brokerage and sponsored investments are kept separate on a park you own.
