Our Story
The story about Why we start our property management services
GPS Renting is a local family-owned business in Seattle Bothell Washington.
Nick and Bryan started GPS Renting in 2017 when their real estate investor clients were struggling with finding a property management company that is truly on the same side with the owner and also fully embrace technology. In less than three years, GPS Renting property management company grew to manage over 300 properties in the Seattle area.
Nick moved to the US from China in 2007. He graduated with his MBA degree from Duke University. Upon graduation and start working for Microsoft as a Product Planner, he realized that his student loan debt accumulation seemed to be more than the knowledge he learned at school. With a $150K student loan and over 9% interest rate, he lived a frugal life (like what Mr. Money Mustache promotes).
To find a way of financial freedom, he saved every penny and invested in real estate. Nick met Bryan in 2010 and started investing in real estate together. They learned a lot from their firsthand experience of managing their own rental properties.
They never thought of starting a property management company until one of their investor clients said that he would not invest in Seattle anymore until Nick and Bryan started a property management business in Seattle.
The little “threat” from the client opened a new chapter in Nick and Bryan’s life and also gave them a mission. They want to infuse owner and resident relationship with Professional, Honest, and Kind attitude, and also design a system that fully embraces the technology disruption and the 24*7 on-demand economy for their property management services.
Today, Nick and Bryan and their three daughters live in Bothell，WA and operating a real estate brokerage company (GPS Real Estate) and a property management company (GPS Renting). Nick also published an Amazon best seller memoir “Two Dads and Three Girls” in 2019 to share their journey and stories.

What our landlords said about our management services.
I have been using GPS renting to manage my two properties in Seattle for over a year. Although I live in Los Angeles, I never need to worry even a little bit about my properties in Seattle. GPS renting did a flawless job helping me find tenants and maintaining my properties. Brain and Nick are very professional, responsive and helpful. Most importantly, their honesty had earned my trust. Despite the high quality of their services, the management fee is very fair. I never need to worry about they overcharge me for any unnecessary maintenance cost, which is very common among other property management companies.
George L. Owner
GPS has been doing a great job in managing our property. They help us find tenants in less than a week. Brian emailed us when something needs to be fixed, and he always had a quote ready for us. Rent was wired in early each month. Now we are considering selling the house and we choose GPS as our agent without any hesitation. They are very professional and details oriented. We are first time landlord and we are very lucky to have them help us managing the property. We also tried to buy a house last summer, and GPS helped us make an offer. Even though it didn’t work out due to our financial problems, GPS was very professional through the whole process, like choosing houses, analyzing houses’ value, and making offers etc. We would definitely recommend GPS!!!
Annie W. Owner
Long story short: my property was on the market for rent with another property management company and I had to fire them after 3 months. I reached out to Nick and was SHOCKED at how fast and easy it was to rent out my place at a fair market price. The crazy part was, the place was rented after a week, and the whole process was remote – I didn’t even get to meet Nick and his team in person yet he was able to handle everything flawlessly.
Olivia W. Owner
I bought a house with Nick and Bryan. They really understand the housing market and the house itself. They always did a great analysis to help me understand the pros and cons of each investment. They are very sincere and always tell their true belief about every house. I also trust them to manage my properties in Seattle.
Chengguang W. Owner
GPS has helped us made the purchase of two houses in Seattle. In 2016, Nick and Bryan helped make the judgment of the decision of purchase. They are acute, professional, and patient giving many kind suggestions. In 2017, with their help again we bought the second one, and within two months they helped find the tenant. From these experiences, I think that GPS is a professional and reliable company. We really appreciate Nick, Bryan, and Cara!

Hear what our residents said about our management services
Not only was the process convenient, but their customer service was also phonemical. Aida had excellent communication and even responded to my late-night texts. She helped get us into the home while we were on a tight time crunch and worked with me late at night to sign the lease and move in the very next day. My experience with GPS Renting was delightful and had a more personal experience. Highly recommend!
Amy W. Resident
We were in the market for a new house and found a unit we really liked but they didn’t accept any pets which were disheartening, but a couple of weeks later Nick from GPS Renting reached out to us to let us know that the owner might be acceptable to our cat. This was just the beginning of the process Nick went through to get us into our amazing home. He was patient and understanding with our application and worked with us to get us approved.
Kim D. Resident
GPS Renting has been my landlord for the last year. The tenant online portal is very easy to use for rent payment and also submit a request. I appreciate how fast they respond to my maintenance request. Bryan is very professional and came to fix our door and faucet problems after we moved in. He quickly got the work done and also shared some tips for taking care of our new home. We could not be happier. Cheers to Bryan and the whole team!
Beth T. Resident
I can’t express enough how thankful I am for GPS renting. They really are kind and professional. At last minute my housemate and I had someone bail on us for another house we were gonna rent so within 4 days I had to find us a new home since our current home was being put up for sale. I found a beautiful home through GPS. Aida made the whole process run so smoothly I had no worries. Within two days were approved for the place and were able to move. I mainly wanna express my gratitude to Nick. Since moving in he has been so patient. He responds to all my emails, phone calls/concerns. He makes sure things are getting 100 percent done. He has gone above and beyond for me and I couldn’t thank him enough. I also wanna say the maintenance team is very efficient and responsible. Bryan is awesome and really nice. Thank you so much for everything.
