Barré Properties manages and leases homes, condos and townhomes across Tempe, from the ASU corridor and downtown to Warner Ranch and The Lakes, for local investors and owners who live out of state. We handle pricing, marketing, screening, leases, rent collection and maintenance, and our designated broker, Olivier “Ollie” Lessing Barré, oversees every property personally.
Near Arizona State University’s Tempe campus, demand follows the school year. Most leases near campus start in late July or August, and the strongest renters sign months ahead. We time your listing and renewals to that calendar, so the home isn’t sitting empty in October.
Students and young professionals often have short credit histories. We verify identity, income and rental history for every adult, apply the same written criteria to everyone, and use a guarantor when an applicant needs one, always within fair housing law.
Tempe licenses every rental of 29 days or less. Owners need a 24-hour emergency contact, a sex offender check on each booking guest, written notice to neighbors and $500,000 in liability coverage unless the booking platform provides it, plus a state tax license. We set it up and keep it current.
Many Tempe owners bought for a student, then moved on. We inspect on the schedule you choose and send a Property Health Report with photos, so you know the home’s condition without flying in. We’re your eyes and ears on the property.
Worth knowing: since January 1, 2025, Arizona cities, Tempe included, can no longer charge their sales tax on residential leases of 30 days or more. Short-term stays are still taxed. See how rents move by season →
