About the Property manager

Shelley G. Houghtby, LCAM & President Of Bella Vita

Shelley began her career in property management in 1984, working in rental property management with The Gables Company (formerly known as Trammel Crow) while attending college.   Shelley relocated from Dallas, Texas with Trammel Crow, to Miami, Florida, as Resident Manager of some of the most pristine apartment housing in South Florida.


Shelley moved on to working with a top developer and builder in Boca Raton, as a Customer Service Manager of a 240-unit HOA.  Once the Developer relinquished control of the HOA, the Management Company hired her as the On-Site Property Manager.  She spent a total of 10 years dedicated to the HOA.  She then continued her career as a Portfolio Manager with this leading Management Company in Palm Beach and St. Lucie Counties.


Shelley then managed a luxury, high-rise Condominium on the Intracoastal in Boca Raton for over 5 years, until moving to Melbourne Beach, where her parents had resided for over 30 years.


She joined Vista Properties Management (now known as First Services Residential) in 2004, as a Portfolio Manager of eight (8) Associations in Melbourne Beach, offering her successful experience, reinforced by keen organizational, decision-making, detail oriented, and problem solving skills.  


Shelley’s hard work, dedication, ambition, competence and confidence, led her to opening her own company, Bella Vita Property Management, Inc., in June, 2009.


She has been a Licensed Community Association Manager since 1996, has traveled extensively abroad, and is tri-lingual. With a wealth of knowledge and experience of over 30 years in Property Management, her education, foreign language capabilities, personal commitment and professional performance will prove a winning combination for her business.

    Reviews

    "Bella Vita has been our management company for the 10 years we have lived in our HOA. They are a pleasure to work with. Are always professional and responsive to any questions, concerns or requests. They are knowledgeable in HOA rules, but also demonstrate considerable skill when dealing with owners and contractors, to whom they are always respectful and helpful. It would be difficult to find another Property Management company that would come close to providing the level of service that we have enjoyed from Bella Vita."


    "Bella Vita was brought back to manage our property while I was the HOA President. They are the ultimate professionals. Residents who contacted them with questions or issues were promptly answered or their questions acknowledged. Bella Vita remains a smaller company that provides a full range of Property Management options. Many if not all of our 138 residents enjoy working with Bella Vita due to their professionalism and responsiveness. In today's world of mediocre customer service Bella Vita consistently excels above and beyond expectations."


    "I work with Bella Vita on several properties and it is a pleasure, good communication, and always working with us to solve the customers problem quickly."


    "Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value"


    "They prioritize the needs of their clients and ensure that everything runs smoothly. Their dedication to managing properties for homeowners associations and owners is commendable. I truly recommend working with these experts."


    "Hiring this property management was smart and choosing them as the company to facilitate for us was even smarter. I would highly suggest working with them."
