FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is 3 Little Birds Rentals & Retreats?
We’re an Austin-based, husband and wife-owned property management company providing flexible rental options in desirable locations. After spending too many years in corporate America and moving for jobs, we decided to combine our talents - hers being “Meticulous Attention to Detail and Cleanliness” with a background in Marketing and Management, and his being “Obsessive Real Estate Research” with a background in Sales and Finance - and start 3 Little Birds Rentals & Retreats.
​
For us, the hardest part of relocating was finding a clean and comfortable rental home that didn’t require a year-long commitment and a ton of money upfront. By the time we filtered our search results to fit our family’s needs, i.e. pet friendly, 3 bedrooms, clean and cared for, month-to-month contract, we’d have only 1 or 2 options. Each time, we had to settle for just “ok” or pay way too much money. And each time, we thought “there has to be a better option.” So we decided to do something about it.
Our goal as 3 Little Birds Rentals & Retreats is to relieve the stress of finding a rental property and provide high quality, clean options with flexible terms that fit your lifestyle. We’re hoping to grow as a business, add more homes to our portfolio and provide the personalized, white glove service that you deserve.
​
Why 3 Little Birds?
When you have a little kid, it’s hard to find good music without curse words. The Wheels on the Bus on repeat drove us crazy! So we turned to classics like Johnny Cash, Elvis, Chuck Berry, and of course, Bob Marley. There’s nothing cuter than a 3 year old singing “Don’t worry about a thing, ‘cause every little thing gonna be alright.” See for yourself.
Aside from it being adorable, the 3 Little Birds symbolize us - Mother, Father, Son.
