About Us

Property Management and Leasing Since 2012

Our journey started in 2012 when the father-son duo, Greene Lawson Jr. and Rob Lawson, incorporated Lawson Realty Group LLC.

Starting with 80 properties and a skeletal crew, we quickly doubled our client roster in just two years and added new members to the team. From then onwards, it has been a consistent rise to the top, to become the leading property management services company in Roanoke, Virginia.

Today, we have a team of 7 people who come from diverse educational backgrounds and professional experiences, together creating a strong, reliable, and highly skilled group of real estate specialists.

We are proud to say that we have worked with over 300 investors and homeowners in Roanoke, managing properties with a degree of professionalism and care that is highly appreciated by our clients.
