Show us your creative side (New Property Management Company)

Pro Property Management

I am a business owner starting a new company in a new location (I was recently relocated) and I want to create a new brand around a fantastic logo that you design. I want to become a major presence in the Property Management/Leasing Business

This is a logo that will be used to attract new clients. It needs to be attractive but simply elegant. We target clients with professional end-to-end management services to help maximize profitability while reducing stress.
We want to target "google searchers" looking for property managers and leasing agents in the Connecticut area.

We are looking for a clean monochrome color scheme, Blue is our company color, so varying shades of blue, grey, black may be ok as well. Our goal is to look professional, clean, and trustworthy, so people feel comfortable inviting us into their home(s).
The logo should be flat, 2 dimensional, NO bevels, drop shadows, fades, etc.... Those can be added later by us if desired. We are looking for logos "like" http://www.leacapital.com and http://www.clctaxcredits.com.
Our logo needs to look as good in black in white as it does in color.
We will need it in a vector format so they can be easily edited in illistrator or Fireworks to alter the colors slightly.
Elements to consider are houses, signs, people.... Nothing too cartoonish, or "cute", keep it simple.
The final logo will be placed on our website and marketing material such as papers/fliers so it has to look as good in color as it does in white on a color backround.
The logo design needs to be more wide than tall.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, as we will be constantly in the system checking out designs.
