Meet The Peaceful Team

We understand. We've been there. We're here for you.

Flint Gardner

Founder/Managing Partner

Flint oversees the business strategy for the company. He earned his business degree from Brigham Young University and has several years of various Fortune 50, entrepreneurial, and real estate investing experience. Flint first found his interest in real estate investing by turning his first home into a rental. After doing this a number of times and realizing the advantages (when managed correctly), he partnered with Emil to create a property management company that could provide the services necessary for other investors who don’t have the time or expertise to manage their own portfolio.

He focuses on repeatable processes that lead to effectiveness and a peaceful experience for both rental owners and tenants. Growing up in Utah, Emil enjoys the blend of his strong Guatemalan roots. Outside work, Emil enjoys supporting his wife in her esthetician journey and spends time with his three daughters.

Our core values.

Peace

Two environments that make up the majority of everyone's time is:

Where we choose to work
Where we choose to live

At Peaceful, we have a significant impact on these two environments, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. With that influence, we come to work with a greater purpose and meaning supporting the lives we influence each day with peace. It starts with us, even when it's difficult we can still choose to provide a peaceful experience.

Response

Being in the service industry and often acting as an agent or a mouth piece for others, it is extremely important for Peaceful to be responsive.

It is our expectation that everyone get's a response back within 24 hours. This doesn't mean a solution has to be given within 24 hours. We understand some solutions take time and require 3rd party support. However, we never let our clients, tenants, or vendors guessing on the current status.

Trust

Trust is believing that an expectation will be accomplished.

Everyone at Peaceful has key responsibilities that come with expectations we all rely on to be fulfilled. We at Peaceful "must" be able to trust each other to complete our responsibilities. We are a team and cannot succeed without each other.
