First Rate Property Management Information

First Rate Property Management was started in 1994 by Tony A. Drost, who has been an investor and property manager since 1990. In 2010, Melissa Sharone, MPM® RMP®, joined First Rate Property Management in the Leasing department after graduating from BSU with a degree in Communications. In the following years, Melissa and Tony worked closely to build and improve the company, and in 2017 Melissa’s husband, Jim Sharone, RMP®, joined the company to help takeover daily operations with Melissa. After almost a decade of planning, Tony was ready to phase out of property management, and in 2021 he turned business over to the capable hands of the FRPM team under the leadership of Jim and Melissa Sharone.
