Your Broker in Verde Valley

Managed Like It’s Our Own.

I’m Olivier “Ollie” Lessing Barré, designated broker of Barré Properties, and I personally oversee every property we manage in the Verde Valley. I’ve spent more than twenty years in real estate. In 2007 I founded a property management company on the Westside of Los Angeles, serving owners in Beverly Hills, Malibu, Calabasas and the neighborhoods around them, and grew it into a large family-run business before moving my family to Arizona in 2020.

We manage throughout Yavapai County, and the Verde Valley is a market we know and specialize in: which communities are incorporated towns and which answer to the County, the ditch shares, wells and septic systems that come with rural parcels, and what each town actually rents for. When you call, you reach the broker who signed your agreement, not a call center or a rotating account manager.

Our relationships are built on handshakes, trust and accountability. We keep every owner’s information private, put every term in writing before anything is signed, and send monthly statements with every invoice attached.

Read Our Story
Why the Verde Valley

Several Towns, One River.

The Verde Valley follows the Verde River between Mingus Mountain and the Mogollon Rim. Northern Arizona Healthcare describes it as about 1,200 square miles, rising from roughly 3,000 feet at Camp Verde to more than 5,000 feet in Jerome. Four incorporated towns sit inside it: Jerome (incorporated 1899), Clarkdale (1957), Cottonwood (1960) and Camp Verde (1986), with Sedona at its northern edge. Cornville, Lake Montezuma, Rimrock, the Verde Villages and the Village of Oak Creek are unincorporated Yavapai County. The two largest towns, Cottonwood and Camp Verde, each counted roughly 12,600 to 12,700 residents in the Census Bureau’s July 2025 estimates.

The year-round base is real: Verde Valley Medical Center in Cottonwood, the largest Northern Arizona Healthcare facility in the valley, Yavapai College’s Verde Valley campus in Clarkdale, and the retail along SR 89A and SR 260. Visitors add the rest: the Verde Canyon Railroad out of Clarkdale, Jerome’s National Historic Landmark district, Tuzigoot, Montezuma Castle and Fort Verde, and the wineries of the Verde Valley wine appellation, which federal regulators established in 2021 across about 200 square miles.

For an owner, the valley is several markets, not one. The American Community Survey puts the median gross rent at $1,059 in Camp Verde, $1,120 in Cottonwood and $1,448 in Sedona for 2020 to 2024. Cottonwood is the renter town, with about 46% of homes renter-occupied, against roughly 24% in Camp Verde and 27% in Sedona. A Clarkdale bungalow, a Cornville horse property and a Camp Verde parcel with a ditch share are different products, and we price every property on comparables from its own town.

Also a Primary Focus

Commercial Property Management.

Retail and shopping centers, single-tenant net-leased pads, office, flex, small industrial, medical office and mixed-use in the Verde Valley — run as its own practice, because Arizona regulates nonresidential brokerage differently and commercial accounting has nothing in common with collecting a single rent check.

Lease abstraction and critical dates, CAM budgeting and annual reconciliation, transaction privilege tax, and the designated broker’s signature on every file — as A.R.S. § 32-2175 requires.

What You Get

Everything, For One Fee.

One rate covers the whole job. The things other companies bill separately are simply included.

Tenant Placement

Marketing, showings, and full screening — credit, background, income, and rental history. We place the tenant and we stand behind the placement.

Rent & Accounting

Collection, owner disbursements, monthly statements with full reconciliation, and year-end reporting your accountant will not complain about.

Maintenance, At Cost

Vetted Verde Valley trades, coordinated and supervised. Vendors bill at their real rate and the invoice passes straight through, with no markup on routine work. Major renovations and capital projects are quoted separately, in writing.

Inspections

Move-in, move-out, and periodic condition inspections with photos, included in the fee rather than billed per visit.

Compliance & Trust Accounting

Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act compliance, proper trust accounting, and ADRE oversight. Licensed brokerage, general liability and E&O insured.

The Difficult Parts

Late rent, lease violations, notices, and the occasional eviction. This is the part owners hire out, and it is the part we take off your plate entirely.

What Verde Valley Owners Should Know

Know the Local Rules.

The details that catch owners out across the Verde Valley, and how we handle each one.

Town or County? Check first

Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Camp Verde and Jerome are incorporated towns with their own codes, and Sedona has its own City code. Cornville, Lake Montezuma, Rimrock and the Village of Oak Creek are unincorporated Yavapai County. Zoning, permits and short-term rental rules change at those lines, so we confirm the jurisdiction before we quote a rent.

Short-term rentals follow state law

A.R.S. § 9-500.39 (towns) and § 11-269.17 (counties) bar local governments from prohibiting vacation rentals but let them require a permit, a 24-hour emergency contact (with fines of up to $1,000 every 30 days if it is missing), notice to neighbors and $500,000 in liability coverage. Sedona requires a City permit for every unit, and Camp Verde raised its additional transient lodging tax to 8% on June 26, 2026.

Tax license and assessor filing

Every short-term rental needs an Arizona transaction privilege tax license under A.R.S. § 42-5005. Every residential rental must be registered with the Yavapai County Assessor under A.R.S. § 33-1902, and an owner who lives out of state must name an Arizona statutory agent. Long-term leases of 30 days or more no longer carry city rental tax in Arizona.

Ditch water and wells

In Camp Verde, five historic ditches still carry water from the Verde River and West Clear Creek, and the water right attaches to the property, with yearly dues to the ditch association. Across the valley many rural parcels rely on private wells and septic, and Arizona requires a transfer-of-ownership septic inspection when a property sells (A.A.C. R18-9-A316).

Creeks have floodplains

The Verde River, Oak Creek, Beaver Creek and West Clear Creek all carry mapped floodplains. Under A.R.S. § 48-3613, development in a delineated floodplain needs written authorization from the flood control district. Check the flood map before you add a building near the water, and price flood insurance before you close.

Heat and freeze in one year

At the Montezuma Castle weather station near Camp Verde, the July average high is about 101°F and the January average low about 26°F, and Jerome sits roughly 2,000 feet higher. Cooling needs servicing before summer and a vacant home needs irrigation drained before the first freeze. That work is done by licensed contractors and vendors, and we coordinate and supervise it for the owners we manage.

For Owners Who Live Elsewhere

Your Eyes and Ears in Verde Valley.

Many Verde Valley owners live in the Valley, in California or out of state. We act as your eyes and ears on the property without you having to be there, coordinated and supervised by us and performed by vetted, insured providers at their real cost.

Home Watch

Scheduled interior and exterior checks between tenants or while you are away: systems run, irrigation verified, and the home made ready before you arrive.

Vendor & Project Oversight

Renovation, landscape and repair work watched on your behalf, with access controlled and progress documented in photos.

Arrival & Departure

For second-home owners: heat or cooling set, systems checked, grounds at standard and deliveries received before you land.

Owner Questions

Straight Answers.

Which towns does the Verde Valley cover?
The incorporated towns are Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Camp Verde and Jerome, with Sedona at the northern end. Cornville, Lake Montezuma, Rimrock, the Verde Villages and the Village of Oak Creek are unincorporated Yavapai County. We manage across all of them, with one broker, one statement and one phone number.
What does management cost?
One all-inclusive rate, quoted per property once we have seen it. No setup fee, no inspection fee and no marketing charge — those are simply part of the service. Short-term rentals are quoted by service level, and routine maintenance reaches you at the vendor’s price with the invoice attached.
What kind of returns does the region produce?
It depends on the town and the price you pay, which is why we do not quote a regional cap rate. The American Community Survey puts the median gross rent at $1,059 in Camp Verde, $1,120 in Cottonwood and $1,448 in Sedona for 2020 to 2024, while Sedona’s median home value of $786,800 is more than twice Camp Verde’s $318,100. We will model your specific property on closed leases, not an average.
Why manage the whole valley rather than one town?
Because portfolios here often cross town lines. An owner with a Cottonwood rental, a Cornville acreage property and a Camp Verde parcel can deal with one company, one statement and one phone number as the portfolio grows, instead of three managers with three vendor lists.
Which town should I actually buy in?
It depends on what you want the property to do. Nearly half of Cottonwood’s homes are renter-occupied, and it is the valley’s commercial center. Camp Verde offers acreage, ditch-irrigated land and I-17 access at a median home value well below Sedona’s. Cornville is acreage and horse property along Oak Creek. Clarkdale is the historic company town with the Verde Canyon Railroad. Sedona offers short-term upside under a City permit. We will give you a straight opinion on a specific property.
How do I get started?
Send the address, or tell us what you are considering buying. Within one business day you get a rental analysis with a real number, what management costs, and an honest read on the property. No cost and no obligation.
Do short-term rental rules differ from town to town?
Yes. State law sets the frame everywhere, but Sedona requires a City permit for each unit, Camp Verde raised its additional transient lodging tax to 8% on June 26, 2026, and Cornville, Rimrock, Lake Montezuma and the Village of Oak Creek answer to Yavapai County rather than a town. We confirm the rules for the exact address before you furnish anything.
I live in California or out of state. Can you manage my Verde Valley property remotely?
That is most of what we do. You get one broker as your point of contact, an online owner portal, monthly statements with every invoice attached, and photo inspections, so you can see the property without making the drive.
