Hamilton and his wife Sally began with one rental unit. Today, the company, which has passed to a second generation, manages over 400 rental units. In addition to the property management business, the company is also a full-service real estate office. In 1993, they bought another company and merged it into H & H Properties. Craig and Kathy then bought the company from Duane and Sally. After leavin
g Drake Mechanical Plumbing as Service Manager in early 1995, Craig established the company office in a business complex on Overland Road. As the company grew larger, Craig brought his younger brother, Duane E. Hamilton, into the firm in early 1996 after his retirement from the Air Force in aircraft maintenance. Their combined experiences brought—and continue to bring—strong business, mechanical and organizational skills to the company. Craig realized that real estate sales marketing would be a natural complement to their established Boise & Nampa property management business. In 1995, he acquired his real estate license and began dividing his time between managing H & H Properties and selling property under a local broker. He obtained his broker's license and opened a real estate office under the H & H Properties L.L.C. In mid-1999, both entities were combined under one roof in a new building at 520 Orchard Street. With the new millennium at hand, H & H Properties continues to staff only the best Boise & Nampa property managers to provide top-rate services to its property owners, tenants, and real estate clients while maintaining the friendly atmosphere of a family-owned business.
