Respect – our tenants, employees, vendors and member owners/investors.

Integrity / Honesty – the law dictates an absolute minimum in this regards. Beyond that we also aim to do the right thing ethically so that we can all sleep at night knowing that we did the best that we could do at the time and with the given circumstances.

Customer Focus – we are in a service industry, so must focus on customer service. We strive to deliver on the best product at the best price.

Whenever possible we strive to partner with others that share similar values.

To care is to give back. Our goal is to give back to you!


Background

The idea of the Elmstone Group had been brewing in the minds of Shari and Steven Gould for several years before it become a reality. They had always thought that real estate was a great business to invest in. However there was one small problem…neither of them knew much about the industry.

With the help of Lifestyles Unlimited and the National Apartment Association (NAA), Texas Apartment Association (TAA) and the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas (AAGD), they have been studying, learning and investing in real estate. Starting with Single Family properties back in 2008, they soon progressed onto larger scale operations adding 1-2 apartment communities each year (and selling some along the way too).

The Team

Shari L. Gould is a co-founder of the Elmstone Group of companies and the majority owner of the group’s property management company. Over the past decade she has grown the business from a one person operation with a handful of Single Family homes to a boutique multi-family property management company managing all of the group’s Multi-Family properties and hundreds of units.

Shari Gould owns and operates the property management company, Elmstone Group Property Management, LLC, that manages all of the group’s properties. Shari also oversees acquisition and management of all of the properties, as well as assists with identification of new prospects. Elmstone Group Property Management currently is a member of the National Apartment Association (NAA), the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas (AAGD)Texas Apartment Association (TAA), and education and mentor group Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc. She successfully completed her Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) and Certified Apartment Portfolio Supervisor (CAPS) accreditation from NAA through AAGD to further enhance her existing operations and management skills.

Prior to her role in the Elmstone Group, Shari has been a small business owner, freelance journalist and technology writer. Her work has been published on a variety of top-tier technology web sites.


Steven R. Gould is a co-founder of the Elmstone Group of companies. Shortly after Shari moved into the Multi-Family business, Steven joined her to help grow the business to what it is today. Under his watchful eye on the numbers and Shari’s leadership they have grown the group while maintaining profitability.

Steven Gould oversees the day-to-day financial operations of all of the properties, and conducts financial analysis of new prospects to help determine feasibility. He has also been instrumental in driving the company to adopt more environmentally conscious products and services.
