Boreal Property Management

This company’s unique approach offers property management with a creative edge.

“Boreal was built and has grown around the mantra that ‘the answer is always yes,’” says Greg Jackson, Boreal’s general manager and managing partner. “We like the answer to be ‘yes,’ and our clients have come to expect that, so we work hard to solve problems others haven’t been able to address.”

In its quest to serve its clients, Boreal has assembled a diverse team of talented professionals, expanding beyond traditional roles like landscapers, caretakers, and housekeepers to include specialists in welding, digital design tools, licensed arborists, audio-visual systems, and an array of handyman services including high-end carpentry. The company has even invested in space at its facility south of town to complete high-end woodworking projects.

Founded in 2005, Boreal is now managed by Greg Jackson and John Paige, who have been with the company for more than a decade and are dedicated to evolving its services to meet the increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs of clients.

Boreal’s willingness to say yes has led to some remarkable client projects, such as building zip lines, rock climbing walls, and mountain bike tracks; designing and building custom cabinetry; constructing a fireproof art-safe room; and acting as client representatives on multi-million-dollar design-build projects. “As Boreal has changed, we enjoy rising to the challenge of meeting our clients’ creative and diverse needs,” says John Paige, Boreal’s operations manager and managing partner.

Boreal Property Management general manager and managing partner Greg Jackson says the company’s team takes pride in delivering exceptional experiences for clients.

“We’ve grown Boreal to ensure our resources and talent pool are deep enough to achieve things other property management companies would find difficult,” Jackson explains. According to Paige, the high local demand for subcontractors inspired Boreal to bring many of these professionals in-house. This structure allows Boreal to address issues promptly. “If a housekeeper notices a problem, whether it’s broken faucet or a downed tree, we don’t need to call around and wait months for someone to fix it. We have the experts under one roof, and they’re available now,” Paige says.

Boreal has provided high-end concierge landscape maintenance and caretaking services for 20 years. Initially, the company’s niche was large estates north of town, but within the last 5 years, it has expanded to the West Bank and across the valley. Its landscape installation department has built beautiful landscapes from start to finish since the firm’s founding, and it has also been successful working closely with homeowners to enhance use and property value through expansions and renovations.

Paige and Jackson, who have both been with Boreal for over a decade, represent the next generation of leadership. The company was founded in 2005 by Mike and Kellie Wheeler. In a 2015 interview with Homestead, Mike Wheeler said, “We don’t strive to be just another landscaping company; we provide long-term solutions for our clients.” Jackson reflects on this legacy: “Mike and Kellie showed us the importance of building relationships and anticipating client needs. We’re committed to continuing that tradition.” Paige adds, “Our goal is to make every client feel like they’re our only client.”
