Colonial & The Autry Family

Founded in 1988, Colonial began in a modest plaza in Harker Heights, Texas with 1 home under management. Through 38 years of daily service to our clients, Colonial now provides quality housing to thousands of families in Texas.

​

In 2024, the Autry family recognized a pressing need for change in the industry, as evidenced by the largely ignored fact that over 50% of American landlords opt to self-manage their properties. This trend, they believe, stems from a simple yet critical issue: the average property manager prioritizes self-dealing over truly putting the client first. In response, the Autry family made the bold decision to transform Colonial into America’s first property management company to adopt a Non-Profit model, a model that costs under 1/2 the amount of "discount" firms while still providing twice the service. 

​

Being 3rd generation family-owned, Colonial's mission is to provide a fresh, client-driven approach to Texas landlords and to be the change the industry needed.
