From firefighting to forming communities

33 Property Management: A Legacy of Service, Now Protecting Properties

For over three decades, Richard Brocchini and Baryic Hunter served their communities as dedicated firefighters—responding to emergencies, safeguarding neighborhoods, and protecting lives and property. That spirit of service didn’t retire with them. Instead, it evolved into something new: a mission to protect and manage the homes and investments of others through professional property management.

In 2022, Richard and Baryic co-founded 33 Property Management, a full-service property management company rooted in the same principles that guided their fire service careers: Service. Integrity. Compassion. As licensed brokers, they bring not only deep real estate knowledge but also a steadfast commitment to the people they serve.

“As firefighters, we dedicated our lives to protecting the community,” said Richard. “When we transitioned into property management, it felt like a natural fit—like we were exactly where we were meant to be.”

    •    Ongoing maintenance coordination
    •    24/7 emergency response supportThis round-the-clock availability isn’t just a business practice—it’s part of their DNA, stemming from a career where every minute mattered and every detail counted.

    Built on Relationships, Not Transactions

    What sets 33 Property Management apart is the level of personal care Richard and Baryic offer. Every client receives timely, transparent communication and consistent follow-through. Over time, these professional relationships often grow into genuine friendships—rooted in mutual trust, honesty, and reliability.

    “We found our true calling in property management,” said Baryic. “It’s not just about homes. It’s about the people in them.”

    33 Property Management honors military personnel, public safety professionals, healthcare workers, and educators by offering discounted management fees, flexible lease options, and priority service. Understanding the unique demands of service-related relocations, the company also offers lease-break provisions to make transitions easier for tenants in these fields.
