I'm Jennifer Fox, founder, CEO, and Managing Broker of Fox Property Management. I started this company in 2002 with just three properties my mother asked me to manage. Today, my team of 42 and I oversee more than 1,200 investment properties across Boulder, Denver, and Colorado's Front Range. What drives me is creating a people-forward property management experience built on three core values: Be Kind, Find a Way Forward, and Own the Outcome. These aren't just words. They guide every decision we make, from how we select and care for tenants to how we partner with property owners on their long-term investment strategy. With over 23 years in this industry, I've seen markets shift, legislation evolve, and countless portfolio stories unfold. I know that real estate wealth isn't built year over year. It's built through thoughtful stewardship, smart maintenance decisions, and staying focused on the long game even when the moment feels challenging. I'm proud that Fox Property Management has become known for accessibility and transparency. I'm in the office nearly every day, and I genuinely welcome conversations with owners about their specific situations and goals. Beyond property management, I lead our Fox Talks educational series and serve on several nonprofit boards, including the Albion Colorado Soccer Club and Dickinson Family Foundation. I'm a UC Berkeley graduate, a lifelong learner, and someone who believes property management can and should be a force for good in our community. When I'm not working, you'll find me with my family, playing soccer, singing in Generation Choir, or exploring Colorado's beautiful trails.
