Meet the Foothills Rentals Team

Our team of professionals are focused on providing top-notch service to our guests and owners alike.  They are the first line of communication and service when an owner needs anything for their property, or a guest has a customer service need at a property. Each has lived and worked in the Sedona, Verde Valley, and is a neighbor and friend to our local community. 

When you stay with Foothills Vacation Rentals or allow us the privilege of managing your property investment, you can expect and will receive the highest level of service of any property management company in our area.  There is a reason we have been in business for over 30 years, and are now the largest residential and vacation property management company in this region. 
 

We are proud to introduce our team members and look forward to working together to meet and exceed your expectations!

Tawnia S. Funk
Broker

I began my real estate career in 1985 as a new licensee managing 20 properties in the Cottonwood/Camp Verde area. In 1988 I obtained my brokers license. My husband Brad joined me, and over the years we grew to over 500 unfurnished and furnished homes in the Verde Valley and Sedona area. In 1997 we purchased the business from the owner we were working with and formed Foothills Property Management. Brad and I will be celebrating 28 years in our business and marriage. Both of our daughters are licensed real estate agents and have been a vital part of our company’s growth. We are a dedicated and committed family owned company.

Angelina
Office Assistant

I have been living in the Verde Valley for the past 30 plus years. I enjoy spending time with my three amazing children and our Maltese puppy. I spend my spare time in lovely Arizona, whether it's indoors watching a movie, enjoying food in a local restaurant or soaking in the sun outdoors near a river or lake. 
I started working with the Foothills Property Management team 2 years ago in the Repairs department. I have since moved up to the Inspections and Property Care department where I have the privilege to work along with our property owners in setting and maintaining Foothills standards for the look and feel of their property for our guests to fully experience beautiful Arizona in all its glory!
