Schwarz Properties

What Schwarz Properties does

Schwarz Properties, L.L.C. is a privately held, family-owned property management company headquartered in Asheboro, North Carolina, founded in 1960 by Jeff Schwarz and now co-run with his son Tim Schwarz. The company self-manages a diversified real estate portfolio spanning industrial and warehouse space (over 20 million square feet), retail and shopping space (approximately 300 locations), and residential units (approximately 1,000 apartments, mobile homes, and single-family homes) across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. By owning and operating its properties directly, Schwarz eliminates broker fees and runs an integrated landlord-tenant relationship across commercial and residential segments.

The company's product surface is structured around commercial sub-categories — warehouse space (with dock-height doors, drive-in doors, 3-phase power, paved parking, and flexible ceiling heights), retail/shopping plazas, office space, and land-only rentals (including gravel laydown yards) — and residential sub-categories (apartments, mobile homes including 2025-model singlewides, and single-family homes). Pricing is published and varies by unit: warehouse space rents from $5,000 to $8,500 per month, retail space around $1,600 per month, land around $3,500 per month, apartments from $825 to $925 per month, and single-family homes from $995 to $1,200 per month.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: tenants find properties via the company website's search portal, contact the firm by phone at (336) 625-6076, or email at [email protected], with rent collection handled through PayLease. Distribution is regionally self-served with no broker intermediary. The technology footprint is minimal — a WordPress-based property listing site with search and an integrated payment processor — and there is no disclosed mobile application, API, AI/ML capability, or third-party integrations. Schwarz Properties also operates J&S Wholesale as a wholly owned adjacent subsidiary, which was featured on History Channel's American Pickers in Season 6, Episode 6 (2012).
