Property Management That Protects the Investment

Legacy Key gives rental owners one accountable point of contact, clear communication, and practical local oversight—from preparing a home for market through the day-to-day details of tenancy.

Local, responsive oversight

A property manager who understands both the home and the transaction

Legacy Key Property Management & Real Estate, LLC is led by Vicky McIntosh, a licensed Kentucky real estate broker. That broker-led perspective helps owners think beyond the next rent payment: leasing decisions, property condition, resident communication and long-term value all affect the same investment.

Owners receive straightforward answers and a defined plan. Prospective residents get a professional point of contact, and existing tenants know where to turn when a question or maintenance concern arises.
