our story
How everything started
Helping others through new opportunity
After the real estate crash of 2008, Clay Lehman realized how his unique blend of skills in accounting, real estate and finance – and his innate ability to take complex problems and break them down in can-do steps – gave him the ability to manage properties in a way that’s virtually frictionless and hassle-free. Ultimately, this became Resolute Property Management, a company that can provide you with cost-effective solutions to all your Ocala property management needs.
