About Us
At DWC Property Group, we believe property management should be proactive, transparent, and built on trust—not guesswork.
Our founder started DWC Property Group after seeing the same problem again and again: property owners left in the dark, residents frustrated by slow responses, and management companies reacting instead of leading. We set out to change that by building a systems-driven, accountability-first approach to property management—one that treats every property like a long-term investment, not just another door on a spreadsheet.
Our mission is simple: protect the owner, support the resident, and operate with complete transparency. Through clear communication, disciplined processes, and consistent follow-through, we reduce risk, improve performance, and create better outcomes for everyone involved.
What truly sets us apart is our team. Every member of DWC Property Group is a current or former firefighter or police officer. That shared background shapes our entire culture—rooted in structure, dependability, calm under pressure, and an unwavering sense of duty to those we serve. We approach property management with the same mindset we brought to public safety: show up prepared, communicate clearly, and do the job the right way, even when it’s difficult.
We pair that discipline with modern technology, automation, and data-driven insights to deliver a higher standard of service. Our goal isn’t rapid growth at the expense of quality—it’s sustainable growth built on trust, performance, and long-term relationships with property owners who share our values.
At DWC Property Group, we don’t just manage properties—we protect investments, strengthen communities, and bring professionalism back to property management.
Meet the Team
Darrell Calhoun is the Owner of DWC Property Group and founded the company based on firsthand experience as a real estate investor and rental property owner. After owning and managing several rental properties, Darrell repeatedly encountered a common frustration within the industry: management fees being charged without clear explanations or work being completed. As an owner, it was often unclear what those fees represented, why they were necessary, or how they truly benefited the property or the resident.
That experience became the catalyst for creating DWC Property Group. Darrell set out on a mission to build a property management company rooted in transparency, accountability, and clarity—where every fee has a defined purpose, every charge is documented, and all costs make sense to both owners and tenants. This commitment to transparency is the cornerstone of the company’s mission.
In addition to his real estate and property management background, Darrell is a police officer. His law enforcement experience has heavily influenced how the company operates, emphasizing discipline, risk mitigation, documentation, and calm decision-making under pressure.

Beyond traditional property management, DWC Property Group aims to provide integrated solutions such as insurance coordination, maid and cleaning services, lawn and exterior care, HOA assistance, and a comprehensive suite of concierge services. The goal is to simplify ownership, enhance the resident experience, and create a trusted, centralized resource for everything related to rental property ownership.
As Owner, Darrell is committed to building a scalable, high-integrity company that delivers consistent value through transparency, service, and operational excellence.
