Greetings!
Southern Hospitality Home Watch and Home Services of Bradenton, Florida, has earned Accredited Member status from the NHWA for the fourth year.
Jason (Jay) and Jana Hancock started Southern Hospitality in 2014 and have grown their business steadily ever since. A life-long resident of Manatee County—except for a 3-year stint in New Mexico after the real estate crash of the late 2000’s—Jay has been a cabinet installer in the new home industry and also learned how to trim and perform carpentry. He also learned property maintenance as a property maintenance supervisor for a 280-unit apartment community, responsible for vendor management, maintenance staff, interior/exterior maintenance, pool/spa compliance, repairs, and make-ready completion. While he was in New Mexico he operated a home inspection business, earning certifications in many systems and different types of inspections. Another big thing that happened in New Mexico is that he reconnected with his life-long friend Jana and married her.
Jana was born and raised in Michigan, where she lived for 26 years. Her family background was in the custom-home building profession. She moved to New Mexico, where she began a 20-year career in residential property management. Jana became a national instructor for the property management industry after learning every aspect of operations. She managed 1800 units and strived to instill trust in herself and the services she provided.
The company is named appropriately after Jay (the Southern one) and Jana (the hospitable one). Both Jana and Jay believe in creating the best results for absentee owners by making things as worry-free as possible.
