Doug Holton

President

Doug’s involvement in the real estate industry began in 1987 in the Bay Area as an in-house regional manager for an investment group. He was then drawn to relocate to Fresno by a supervising Property Manager position at Pearson Realty. Additional experiences including commercial property sales and leasing, banking, and SBA lending provided knowledge he can apply to the business of managing for investment clients. It has also allowed Doug to create many friendships and associates within the local industry that he still enjoys and values today.

In 2007 Doug was asked to join Dave Siegel, with whom he had done business for several years, as a partner in the business that Dave had begun and grown into a significant provider of property management services. As Dave has transitioned into retirement, Doug is fully involved in all administrative and operational aspects of Siegel & Co.

After receiving his Business Management degree from Santa Clara University, Doug has established roots in Fresno and loves to visit his son and daughter who have settled in Oregon and Washington.
