Information About Rod

Lynx Properties was founded in 2006, by Rod and Joyce Ohlwiler.

Rod has over 22 years experience in the real estate industry both as a Realtor, and a licensed Broker. He has held Broker's
licenses in California & Utah. Rod learned the real estate and property management business in California over much of his career.
During these years Rod managed properties for many clients and investors. Early in 2001, Rod was invited to join & become
one of the shareholder / owners of Regency Real Estate, which was a 33 agent / shareholder office in southern Orange County, CA.
Formed in 1995, Regency at the time was a “unique” concept in real estate... an office consisting of 33 agents who were the sole
equal Broker / Owners and shareholders of their own company. Becoming a shareholder / owner at Regency was by
“invitation only” to agents with high real estate sales, and a solid reputation for honesty, integrity, and longevity in real
estate. In 2004, Rod was elected to serve on the Board Of Directors at Regency. Knowing that he would at some point be
relocating to Saint George, Rod obtained his Broker’s license in Utah that year. During his term on the Board of Directors,
Rod worked selling property in both markets until his Board of Directors term at Regency was done. Soon after, Rod sold
his share of stock back to Regency, and made the exciting transition to southern Utah.

It was while working in Saint George during those early years that both Rod & Joyce heard many troubling stories with regards
to local property management companies. After speaking with many people both inside and outside of real estate, Rod
found that the reputation for SERVICE and HONESTY in the property management business was lacking in the
Washington County area. While working with owners of properties, they heard about problems with poor service,
lack of attention, and in some cases, dishonesty with regards to rentals and the management of properties.

Joyce also was a licensed Realtor in California working with Rod under his Broker’s license for several years. In addition
to running the office, she also had experience in assisting clients in servicing their properties. After relocating here and
drawing on her experience, Joyce was asked by former associates and friends who owned property in the Saint George
area to help them with various details of their ownership and rentals in the area. It was while working with these associates
and friends, she continued to hear of problems from owners with various management companies they were using.

The only way they could resolve these issues would be to start their own property management company – so they did.
Utah law does not allow a Broker to manage property independently AND work for another company, so they elected to
start their own firm and focus attention to the service side of the management business, which owners seem to want and
were not receiving.

With a combined 27 years property management and real estate experience, Rod works strictly the real estate side of
Lynx Properties, and Joyce works only as Property Manager. Each aspect of the business is separate and independent
of the other, and one of our policies is, we do not solicit clients from other Realtors who refer their management business
to Lynx. If an agent sends us a client for management – when that client wants to sell the property – they are referred
BACK to that agent to sell the property...something other management companies in the area were not doing. We feel
these clients belong to those agents...not us.

Our mission is to provide the BEST level of service to the people of Washington County with a professional property
management company, using the best resources available which includes state-of-the-art computer management software.
