Boutique management firm DMG / Property Management was founded in 2019 by property manager Natalie Dierkes, whose people-focused vision is grounded in over 10 years of experience in the real estate industry. Active in management and renovation of income-producing properties since 2012 through her family’s real estate business, where she helps manage over 150 units, including more than 100,000 square feet of office and retail space in downtown Asheville, Natalie launched DMG to ﬁll a special niche in the Asheville market.

As a property owner herself, with 11 buildings in the downtown area, Natalie understands ﬁrst-hand the importance of strengthening the value of each owner’s investment. Her proven ability to attract and retain high-quality tenants and her focus on preserving the unique character of each property and its place in the community form the core of DMG’s vision.

DMG provides a full suite of property management services for both commercial and residential property owners. Drawing on extensive local knowledge and experience, with an established network of local contractors and vendors, DMG delivers marketing, leasing, maintenance, and management services with the goal of maximizing the value of each investment. In addition to full-service leasing and management, DMG also offers design and renovation services with an eye toward increasing the long-term value of a property.

A property’s value is expressed not just in its physical structure but in what makes it unique, a quality that’s reﬂected in the residents it attracts and the businesses it supports. At DMG, we understand that people are a crucial part of each property owner’s return on investment, and we’re committed to enabling the growth of thriving local businesses and communities.

Myra Hensley

Administrative Assistant

An Asheville native, Myra attended East Carolina University before returning home to the mountains of Western North Carolina, where she lives with her husband and two kids. At DMG / Property Management, Myra is responsible for all things admin—accounting, data entry, lease documents, property records, and more. If owners or tenants have questions or need a copy of their lease or other documents, Myra’s the one who’ll help. When she’s not keeping the DMG office running smoothly, she loves baking or curling up with a good book. A mountain gal at heart, she readily admits her favorite place to get away and relax is the beach: “Toes in the sand, with a drink in hand.”
