Management

DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT: SIMPLIFYING YOUR EXPERIENCE

Between residents moving in to start the cycle and moving out (hopefully several years down the road), we take care of all the day-to-day logistics for the property. This includes collecting rent, managing maintenance requests, and enforcing the lease terms with residents. We distribute monthly income to your bank account by direct deposit and simultaneously email you a link to your monthly financial statement. At year’s end, we generate year-end tax and cash-flow reports for you and your accountant. All records and documentation are accessible to you in your personal online owner portal.

What Sets Us Apart From Other Atlanta Property Managers

We Are Intown Experts

After owning rental properties many years, we started Your Intown Home Property Management in 2010 to manage properties for others as well. Unlike many property management companies that cover the entire Atlanta Metro Area and beyond, we at Your Intown Home focus exclusively on the vibrant, eclectic neighborhoods sprinkled through in-town Atlanta. For over 30 years we have lived, owned rental properties, and managed properties professionally in these neighborhoods. We have extensive knowledge of each neighborhood and the market prices that come with specific locations, space, finish levels and amenities.

For over 30 years we have lived, owned rental properties, and managed properties professionally in these neighborhoods. We have extensive knowledge of each neighborhood and the market prices that come with specific locations, space, finish levels and amenities.

Today, we manage about 100 properties exclusively in Atlanta's intown neighborhoods. Most of these are single family homes or condo/loft units. We manage a few small multi-family properties ranging in size from duplexes and including one 12-unit apartment building. All of our rentals are maintained in great condition. We do not manage any homes that are not well maintained. Our average tenancy is over three years and we have several tenants that have been in their home for over 10 years.

With a high concentration of in-town rentals under management, we are often able to “cross-sell” tenant prospects to other properties in our portfolio (maybe yours) if the one they’ve inquired about is already rented or does not meet their requirements.

Why Choose Your Intown Home
Property Management

Our Intown Expertise Is
Unparalleled

Atlanta's in-town real estate commands different pricing and appeals to a different demographic than properties in other parts of the Metro area. We provide expert, professional management for property owners who want a hands-free real estate investment, and we guarantee you a 5-Star experience. Our systems are designed for property owners who have investment homes in Atlanta's intown neighborhoods whether they live in intown themselves, outside the perimeter (OTP) or on the other side of the globe.

Responsiveness and Great Communications Are Core to Our 5-Star Service

We answer the phone and respond to emails! The most common complaint we hear from landlords looking to make a change in property management companies is a lack of communication. We believe that communication is the key to a successful and profitable owner-manager relationship.

Responsiveness to applicants, owners and tenants is one of the hallmarks of Your Intown Home. This simple but significant difference between us and the competition continues to set us apart. In addition to timely communication on all details regarding your property, you will have 24/7 online access to your account portal and a live-voice answer on the phone lines of Your Intown Home.

Turn Key Services Are Designed To Make Your Life Easier

Hand us the keys and relax! We offer a comprehensive solution for our property-owner clients so you don’t have to worry about a thing. These services include:

Marketing the property to prospective tenants
Screening and placing well-qualified tenants in your house
Ongoing property and tenant relationship management
Property maintenance and financial reporting

We also provide brokerage services for clients and customers looking to buy or sell properties.

Integrity Creates The Basis For A Trusted Relationship

At Your Intown Home, our guiding principle is to make judgement calls and provide advice and guidance that follow the course of action we would choose if we owned the property ourselves. There are times when such decisions are complex and not readily obvious to those unfamiliar with the nuances. From time to time, it may make more sense to spend a little extra money now to secure a tenant for an extended tenancy or to end a tenancy at the end of a lease term in the high season rather than allow it to go month-to-month into the slower rental months. We’ll give you our perspective and rationale and let you make the final decision.

Both property-owner clients and tenants appreciate Your Intown Home’s integrity. Our “no hidden fees” policy ensures a relationship of trust between us and our owner-clients. Tenants appreciate our transparent and clearly expressed leasing guidelines. As with our property owner-clients, our goal is to provide “5-star” service to our tenants, and, in so doing, give them every reason we can to renew their lease on their anniversary date.

Protecting Your Investment And Maximizing Your Results Are Key Priorities

We understand that your real estate holdings are a significant part of your financial portfolio. Our goal is to protect that investment so that it grows in value over time. We provide guidance on necessary repairs to protect the structure and integrity of your home as well as suggestions for upgrades or enhancements to ensure your property’s continuing competitive advantage in the rental marketplace. We work together to maximize your rental property’s contribution to your financial position.

Experienced And Professional Staff Are Here To Help

We are members of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) a very active trade organization through which we attend conferences and take continuing education courses in property management. As subject matter experts in areas such as Fair Housing, Georgia Landlord-Tenant law, ADA regulations, HUD Service and Support Animal requirements, Fair Credit Reporting Act, we stay abreast of legislation that could impact the residential rental industry.

Cameron, our Associate Broker, is a member of the Georgia Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors and has been awarded the “Top Producer” designation from the Atlanta Realtors Association for every year since 2016.

How Much Rent Can You Get For Your Rental Home?

We’d Be Happy To Give You A Free Estimate!

Because we focus on the small footprint of Atlanta’s popular, intown neighborhoods, we are very well-versed in current market rates for each area. Some companies offer computer generated reports, but we’ve found that these reports tend to be no more accurate than you might find on Zillow or other AVMs (Automated Value Models).

Our custom market analysis is the first step in honing in on topline revenue expectations for your rental home. As a next step we’ll want to see your home in person. Rental pricing depends on a broad array of considerations including location, finish levels, size, amenities and time of year. Based on all these factors, and your personal goals, we’ll help you determine the best pricing strategy for your property. Our custom market analysis will provide:

Optimized Rental Value For Your Property

Our tenants pay rent online by the 1st of the month. We deposit your money directly in your bank account and send you a PDF report detailing all activity at your home each month.

Maintenance

At the time of lease renewal, we inspect the property to ensure that the home is being well cared for and that we indeed recommend extending the lease for the current tenants.
