"I just finished Robers series of classes (18 hours) on property management. First, I had no idea it was so complicated. Secondly, there wasn't a minute I was distracted. The time flew by. Robert is not just knowledgeable but he's dynamic and knows how to keep your attention on what could be a boring topic. I look forward to learning more from him."
-- J. Moss, Southern Select Properties, North Georgia

"I've been in real estate for 10 years and I am in the process of  building a Property Management department (rental division) in an established and successful Brokerage firm in  Atlanta.   When Robert spoke about "breaking the broker mindset in order to succeed in property management"  I finally realized why I was struggling so with the transition into management. I was carrying over my years of broker thinking into the management business and it wasn't working!  Robert said something so profound, that I actually felt dopey.  He said "This is not a SALES  business with a big paycheck at closing, but a SERVICE business earning only nickels and dimes"... I took in all Robert told us that week ~ but I tattooed that statement on the back of my hand and it has already made a hugh difference in my business."
-- H. Mullaney, Director of Property Management, Home Team Realty, McDonough Georgia

Last fall I attended my first NARPM Convention.  Among the many wonderful presentations was a presentation by Robert Locke about increasing cash flow.  His ideas were very enlightening. I had no idea there were so many ways to make money in this business. We've started implementing several of his ideas and see the increased profits already. I would take any class Robert offers. I only wish he lived closer to Michigan.”
-- Steve Randall, Owner/Broker of Welch Randall Real Estate, ABR, MBO, Member GaMLS Board of Directors, Michigan

"After 20 years as a Georgia broker I thought I knew something about Property management. After listening to Robert teach on the topic I realized I needed to have better documents than the brokerage community could provided so we acquired his management agreement and rental agreement packages. Wow, what a difference. I am more confident than ever that we are on the right track, will operate more successfully and make more money than on our old model."
-- Todd Mulkey, Broker/Owner, Premier South Realty, LLC, South Atlanta Area

“Robert, Thanks again for the great 6 week series on property management as a business that you held. I really took a ton of useful information away from it and it was really helpful to hear from someone with the amount of experience you possess. I really am trying to model my business after yours because I can see how successful you have become and I want that!  I joined NARPM like you recommended and I am working hard to get these systems into place. The reason for my email is that I'm interested in the items on The Property Management Toolbox.com that you talked about. Once again thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with me.”
-- Robert Gilstrap, Broker/Owner Title One Management, Atlanta Ga

"We downloaded Roberts documents and compared them to our association generated forms plus leases we picked up from other experienced managers in our area. It's obvious why area managers call Robert "the king of property management." We wanted to come out of the box with the best model we could find and Roberts is by far the best. Between taking his workshops and using his documents we are confident we have the very best documents for our management business."
-- Cameron & Stephanie McCaa, Your InTown Home Professional Managers, Decatur Georgia

"I recently attended one of Roberts classes because I needed some CE credit. I’m an agent and I own rental property but I did not expect to receive a lot of information from the class that I could use on a daily basis.  However, I was pleasantly surprised as Robert was very engaging, passionate and extremely knowledgeable and his content and presentation style kept my attention for three solid hours. I would recommend this class to anyone as I received a lot of great information that will make me a better agent and a better landlord.”
-- Belinda Reed, Account/Project Management Consultant for Sotheby’s Atlanta Fine Homes, Atlanta, GA

"I heard Robert speak in Texas at a national conference and was wowed by his passion for the business, skills as a presenter and stratagies for building a super profitable management company. I am applying many of his ideas and watching the Revenue grow. Don't miss his workshops.”
-- Kathleen Richards, Owner/Broker/Sr. Property Manager Portola Property Management, MS, CCRM, MPM, RMP, Santa Cruz, CA

"I drove from Alabama to Roswell to hear Robert teach on collecting from tenants after move out. I never thought I'd consider the "collections business" but after his class I'm ready to take it on. Wow, I had no idea there was so much money in it. I'm glad I made the drive."
-- James Serritelli, Treehouse Property Management, Montgomery Al

"After taking Roberts classes I bought all their documents and love them. This is really getting me on the right track and I see myself finally making some real money in my PM business. Can't wait for the rest of the documents to come out. Thanks Robert for all the help." Beverly Malone-Harrison

“I met you at the NARPM convention in Dallas.  Thank you so much for sharing your experience and experiences.  Honestly you are the first person I have met with NARPM that really "gets it" and I have been a part of NARPM since 1994.  Your philosophy of Property Management is so ON TARGET..."Get your head OUT of the PM box and get into the business of Real Estate that includes PM".  Ninety percent of PM's don't want it, don't get it, and don't have it. I am one of the few "full service" property managers.  We currently manage about 350 homes and sell 40-50 homes a year.  I have a full time accountant, marketing Rep, service manager, assistant, and leasing agents.  I am looking more growth and would prefer not to reinvent the wheel.  Because your firm is run much like I would like to run mine I would welcome the opportunity to spend some time with you and your company if the offer still stands.”

“Robert’s knowledge of real estate taxation and investing is outstanding.  His workshop helped me a lot.”
-- John Clark, Full Time Investor, Atlanta, GA -

“I have taken several courses on ‘buying subject to the seller’s loan’ and bought many properties using this method of financing.  Crown’s course is excellent and will get the newcomer off on the right foot plus perfect the veteran investor’s techniques.  If I had taken this workshop before I started buying I would have avoided a lot of mistakes and saved a lot of money.”
-- Buddy Corbin, Founder and CEO of North Metro REIA, Acworth, GA

"Great information... great ideas even for the Veteran investor. I got lots of notes and would advise anyone doing management to attend".
-- Sharron Pearson, Full Time Investor, Atlanta, GA

“Wow! Fabulous workshop. I wish I had heard this stuff 20 years ago.  Robert opened my eyes to lots of new stuff.”
-- Michael Scarborough, Private Investor, Conyers, GA

"Crown's land trust course was just what I needed. It was thorough and gave me all I needed to implement my land trust Strategy. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to privatize their real estate ownership."
-- Charmaine Courville, Sales Manager, Bryant Lake, LaGrange, GA

“Robert’s teaching has changed my whole perspective on privacy issues and I have implemented many if his strategies. Robert’s training has added a whole new dimension to my real estate experience.  I wish I had become his student much earlier. Robert’s knowledge of Land Trust is extensive, he has a great system for making them easy to implement.”
-- Mark Spain, #2 RE/MAX Agent in United States, RE/MAX Greater Atlanta, Ga

"I have been managing my own rentals for 30 years and still found Robert's course on land lording and the law very helpful. He made it interesting with all his personal stories about mistakes he made and obviously knows the law backwards and forwards. Great class.”
-- K. Anderson, Private Investor, Atlanta, GA.

“Robert's class on land lording and the law showed me that I am doing a lot right but have a lot to tighten up. He made me realize that I need to study it more and not be timid about seeing my tenant's in court. It was worth the cost and I recommend it to everyone managing rentals.”
-- Mike Pusateri, Private Investor, Atlanta, GA.

"I have taught real estate investing and land lording for 20 years and thought I really knew it. Robert's class opened my eyes to things I never knew and it will change the way I manage my properties. It was well worth the money.”
-- Gordon Catts, Private Investor, Roswell, GA

“Robert is very knowledgeable on this Lease Purchase business and his advice is truthful and right on target.  Thanks for not sugar coating the rental biz. I’ve been a holder since 1986, keep 12 properties, and yes I have experienced the lease option where the property isn’t worth the contract price. I have just extended the L/O too, to just keep them in... and the market price gets back up…and yes I have reduced rent in this market to keep them in. Truth...an odd thing in the guru market. Thanks again.”
-- Marcus Cutrone, Private Investor, Clayton, GA

“Thanks for a great workshop.  Anyone who can get at least 70% of their lease purchases executed obviously knows what they are doing.  The workshop was very informative and had good "real world" advice.”
-- R. Liang, Private Investor, Atlanta, GA

“I took Bob's Lease Purchase course as a brand new investor. Bob helped us understand how Lease-Purchase is different in important ways from the traditional lease option, and how these differences can make it more effective in an uncertain climate. Bob's course boosted my confidence and I found Lease-Purchase was a comfortable, effective way to sell my first property.”
-- D. Pratt, Private Investor, Atlanta, GA

“What a great workshop, I learned a lot.  Property management is tough but Crown makes it easy, would recommend to anyone.”
-- Robbie Hewitt, Associate Broker, Member of the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors, Woodstock, GA

“I’m a fairly active full time investor, and I can’t remember attending an event with more useful information.  It helps that you have a great attitude, and that really rubbed off on me!  I’m looking forward to attending your next event.”
-- J. Weatherly, Homevestors Franchise, Atlanta, GA
