about us

Established in 2008 by Brad Koch, Ridge Reef Properties was founded on the principle of providing professional, hands-on management and strategic development for commercial and residential income properties. Since then, we have grown into a trusted team known for maintaining facilities to the highest standards while keeping costs low.



Our team brings over 40 combined years of experience from every corner of the real estate field. This comprehensive knowledge encompasses sales, leasing, marketing, construction, financial reporting, and tenant relations—for both residential and commercial assets. This depth of expertise allows us to merge all aspects of property management and produce solid, viable, and lucrative plans for our clients’ investments.

What truly sets us apart is our experience as property owners ourselves. We understand firsthand the critical issues regarding asset ownership, which enables us to expertly balance the needs of our clients with the needs of tenants. This owner-centric approach ensures we are always working toward the preservation and long-term appreciation of your investment.

We are committed to being proactive, responsive, and professional partners dedicated to the care and preservation of your property.
