Repair coordination. Tenant issues.![Real estate management in the White Mountains](https://countryliferealestate.homes/hs-fs/hubfs/Real%20estate%20management%20in%20the%20White%20Mountains.png?width=1200&height=1310&name=Real%20estate%20management%20in%20the%20White%20Mountains.png) What started as a smart investment can quickly begin to feel like a full-time job. As a real estate broker serving the White Mountains, I’ve seen this happen time and time again. Property owners purchase homes in Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, and surrounding communities with great intentions, only to find themselves overwhelmed by the day-to-day responsibilities that come with managing a rental. The truth is, owning a rental property here should feel like an opportunity, not a source of stress. That is why I want to introduce you to someone who helps make that possible. ## Meet Joanna Pettingill, Property Manager at Country Life Real Estate ![Joanna Pettingill ](https://countryliferealestate.homes/hs-fs/hubfs/Joanna%20Pettingill%20.png?width=226&height=226&name=Joanna%20Pettingill%20.png) Joanna Pettingill is an experienced property manager who understands the unique needs of homeowners in the White Mountains.
