About Barrett Property Management, Inc.
Integrated Property Management & Real Estate Investment Services
Who We Are
Barrett Property Management, Inc. is an integrated property management, brokerage, and real estate investment services company serving residential, commercial, and investment property owners throughout Western Nevada County and South-East Placer County, California.
We work with property owners and investors who want more than basic management or transactional real estate services—they want a coordinated, long-term strategy for their real estate assets.
Our Approach
Most real estate firms separate property management, leasing, and sales into disconnected services.
We take a different approach.
Our model is built around a single, continuous investment lifecycle strategy that connects acquisition, management, optimization, and eventual sale under one integrated system.
This allows our clients to benefit from:
- Consistent asset knowledge over time
- Better-informed financial and operational decisions
- Stronger positioning at the time of sale
- Reduced fragmentation between service providers
We manage real estate as a long-term investment system, not a series of isolated transactions.
Our Story
Founder Amelia Barrett began her career in real estate sales in 2005.
Over the years, she expanded her expertise into lending, appraisal work, and property tax appraisal—developing a comprehensive understanding of how real estate performs from multiple financial and operational perspectives.
Through this experience, she recognized a consistent gap in the industry:
Clients were being served in disconnected phases of ownership, without continuity between acquisition, management, and disposition.
Barrett Property Management was created to solve that problem.
What We Do
Today, our team provides:
- Residential Property Management
- Commercial Property Management
- Luxury Property Management
- Real Estate Sales (Residential & Commercial)

EXPERIENCE & INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

This dual perspective allows her to evaluate properties not only from a management or sales standpoint, but from a long-term investment performance perspective.

She is known for her responsiveness, professionalism, and structured approach to managing real estate assets and client relationships.

Justin Specializes In: Residential Property Management, Commercial Property Management, and Real Estate Sales.
Justin Gross has been investing in real estate since 2001. Along with his brother, he has purchased, renovated, operated and sold properties in Los Angeles, Houston, Texas, and here in Nevada County. Justin was first a licensed Realtor in Houston where he worked with investors and traditional home buyers. He became licensed in California in 2011.
Justin approaches real estate in a unique way, recognizing that real estate ownership is a crucial aspect of increasing one’s wealth and securing the future. That’s why he personally invests in real estate himself, and currently owns and operates a mix of residential and commercial rentals here in Nevada County. In Houston, Justin and his brother created a 25 unit, commercial and multi-family property from the ground up. This project involved closely working with Harris County (Texas) officials, coordinating utility line upgrades, physically installing water and sewer lines, and then operating and managing the entire project and property through completion and beyond.
A product of Grass Valley schools, Justin went to Hennessy, Lyman Gilmore, and Nevada Union before earning his Bachelor of Arts degree from Sonoma State University. He later earned two teaching credentials (elementary and high school) from Chapman University and taught briefly in Southern California as a Certified Studio Teacher. As a Studio Teacher, Justin taught children working in the entertainment business including working a season on a Nickelodeon series with a star that would later become tabloid fodder.
While working in the entertainment business, Justin became involved with Voice Over work. He transitioned from teaching to becoming a full-fledged voice over actor. He’s voiced, or narrated, thousands of projects from animation, to commercials, to media presentations for corporations worldwide and videogames. Justin is still an active voice over performer and now works mostly from his home studio in Grass Valley: www.justingross.com
It was working in the entertainment business were Justin met many people, actors and other professionals, that made money in show business, but didn’t invest their earnings for their future. This is what sparked Justin’s interest in real estate. After purchasing his first home in North Hollywood, he began laying plans for investing his earnings into real estate. Along with his brother, he began buying, renovating and selling in Nevada County. Success here took them to Houston. After Houston, Justin moved back to Grass Valley in 2012.
Justin currently lives in Grass Valley where he and his partner own and operate their rental properties. Justin is active in Gold Country Kiwanis. When he’s not working, he enjoys exercise, hanging out with his family over coffee, binge watching select TV shows, being an Airbnb Superhost, and traveling.
