Who you are working with
Not a franchise. Not a call center. A local owner.
Most property management companies in Orlando are large, franchise-based, or managing hundreds of units across the metro. Happy Homes is intentionally different. We manage a small number of Lake Nona homes by design because that is the only way to deliver the level of attention each owner deserves.
I am Ashley Mitchell, a licensed real estate broker and Laureate Park resident. I built Happy Homes because Lake Nona homeowners deserve a property manager who actually knows this neighborhood: the HOA standards, the rental comp set, the tenant profile, and the pace of the local market.
When you call Happy Homes, you reach me. Not a receptionist, not a support ticket, not a rotating agent. Me, and I know your home.
That means faster decisions, clearer communication, and real accountability from marketing through lease management.
What we handle
Everything from pricing to lease management
One point of contact covers the full scope, so you are not coordinating between multiple vendors, systems, or staff members.
Tenant screening
Income, credit, rental history, background, and overall fit. The goal is long-term stability, not the fastest vacancy fill.
Maintenance coordination
Local vendor relationships and proactive oversight help small issues get resolved before they become expensive problems.
Direct communication
Fast responses, clear updates, and real accountability. When you call Happy Homes, you reach Ashley, not a queue.

Questions about working with us
How much rent can my Lake Nona home get?
Rental value depends on location, condition, layout, upgrades, and current demand. We provide a data-backed rental estimate using local Lake Nona and Laureate Park comparables, not broad metro averages.
Do you manage single-family homes and townhomes?
Yes. Happy Homes focuses on single-family homes and townhomes in Lake Nona and Laureate Park. We keep the portfolio intentionally small so each home gets real attention.
How do you screen tenants?
We review income, credit, rental history, background, and overall fit. The goal is to place a tenant who is right for the home long-term, not just the fastest applicant through the door.
Do you work with out-of-state homeowners?
Yes. Many of our owners are not nearby. We provide a single local contact for oversight, vendor coordination, maintenance decisions, and clear reporting.
What does the Laureate Park HOA require for leasing?
HOA requirements can affect lease length, tenant approval timelines, parking, pets, exterior standards, and community access. We help owners stay compliant from day one.
How is Happy Homes different from a larger PM company?
We are intentionally small. Every owner gets direct access, neighborhood-specific pricing, and a manager who actually knows their property.
