Family-owned property management in California.
Legacy
Laree Properties LLC is a family-owned property management and development company proudly serving neighborhoods across California, with a primary focus on Silicon Valley. Our mission is to maintain and enhance communities with the culture, integrity, and quality of life that residents and businesses are proud to call their own.
Our story begins in the 1960s with Larry Hester and his wife, Jackie, whose dedication to excellence and strong landlord-tenant relationships became a family legacy. Inspired by her father’s commitment to integrity and community, Larry’s daughter, Christine Laree Janssen, founded Laree Properties in 2021 to continue that tradition under a new generation.
At Laree Properties, we believe that well-cared-for properties create thriving communities. Every building we manage or develop is guided by our family values—honesty, respect, and responsibility—and designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and purposeful.
Through stewardship, vision, and care, Laree Properties carries forward a legacy of quality and community that has defined our family for decades.
