About Us

TKF Management, Inc., D.B.A. 1st Choice Property Management was formed in 1993 by Darryl Kazen to manage his family’s 40+ properties. Our family is built of four generations of property management that all started in San Francisco, CA with a four-story apartment building that was owned by Darryl’s grandfather.

After Darryl’s passing in 2015, his son, Rob Kazen has become the Broker/Owner of 1st Choice Property Management. Offering full-service property management to the Fort Worth and surrounding cities in Tarrant County, we take the time to manage and care for your properties just like we do our own. We want you to take the time to do what is important for you and your family. Let us take the stress off your shoulders!

We are affiliated with the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), the National Association of Realtors, the Texas Association of Realtors, and the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors.

We manage your properties like we do our own

We personally own and manage over 40 properties and know the attention to detail each one needs. We have suffered the trial and error of what to do and what not to do. We are happy to be in the position where we are able to pass this experience onto your property!
