How We Got Started 

    As a full-time salesman of K.O.I. Auto Parts on the west side of Cincinnati.  in the mid-1990's, Bruce Ballhaus began to develop an interest in real estate.  His nights and weekends were spent looking for new properties and upgrading his old ones.  In 1996, when a nearby landlord saw the changes he had made to a Mt. Washington complex, he asked Bruce to do the same to his own properties.

    Slowly, he evicted the bad tenants and upgraded the apartments with new carpet, sinks, and paint.  He then developed a new screening process to replace the bad tenants with good ones.

    
    Gradually, maintaining a full-time job, a growing real estate and management portfolio, and a screening company became impossible for Bruce.  In 1999, he sold his Choice Tenant Screening business and quit his full-time job to do part-time work and run his properties.  A year later, he entered into business as L&B Management.

    Over the years, he has increased the number of landlords served, number of properties managed, number of properties owned and employees.  
To accommodate his continuing growing business. He purchased and relocated his office to 3314 Werk Rd. in westwood.

    In 2009 Bruce Ballhaus hired on William Brown, a real estate Broker to handle and run the residential and commercial sales listings. Another additional service offered to our clients.

    "Some say location, location, location, I say tenant, tenant, tenant," says Ballhaus.  "Sometimes, its better to go three or four months without a tenant than to get a bad one."

    Ballhaus and local real estate experts agree that the success of the company can be attributed to its unique way of doing business, one that is cost-efficient and breeds loyal employees and clients.

    Clients say the company is fair, reliable, and efficient.  L&B responds quickly to problens and is straightforward in billling, charging a flat percentage of rents rather than add separate fees.  That's why banks and the city have called on L&B to manage property in foreclosure.
