Company Description

"Our Mission is to ensure that every property owner has a competent and honest professional to manage their most valuable asset"

Qualifying the Tenant

One of the most important things we do is place the proper tenant into your unit. This is accomplished by a thorough background check. This includes, but is not limited to the following:

• National Terrorist Action List
• Civil search for any evictions or litigation
• Criminal search for any felonies
• FDLE sexual predators search
• Credit check to determine how individual handles their obligations
• Employment verification
• Rental check for previous 5 years
• Cross reference addresses from application against credit report
• Social Security Number verification

Even though we have secured a qualified tenant, our job has just begun. Now we take care of the day-to-day operations of insuring that your investment will perform to your expectations.

Lease and Lease Execution:

Upon acceptance of the tenant we require a Reservation Fee to take the property off the market. This will be credited to the first month's rent upon lease execution. In addition, Security Deposit will also be collected at lease signing. Security deposits will be held in a non-interest bearing Escrow Account. Our leases are annual leases and have been reviewed by an attorney who specializes in Landlord/Tenant Law. Leases are continuously updated to stay current with the changes in local and state laws. Tenant responsibilities are clearly defined, giving us the ability to enforce lease requirements. 

Collection & Distribution of Rents:

Our collection and distribution of rents is a vital part of our service to you. We pride ourselves on getting rent checks out to our Owners by the 15th of each month. 

Maintenance & Inspections:

Southern Mgt. Group is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All maintenance emergencies are handled quickly and in a cost efficient manner. Non-emergency maintenance requests are channeled through the tenant portal on our website.  Due to the volume of properties we handle and the amount of work we give our contractors, we can secure excellent rates from these Vendors, which are passed directly to our Owners. We do inspections of the properties on a regular basis to ensure tenants are complying with the Rental Agreement.

Management Fees:

We are a full service management company. Due to our success over the years, we have been able to keep our fees low. We handle the lease preparation, execution and renewals. Our philosophy is "WHEN YOU MAKE MONEY - WE MAKE MONEY". When your property is vacant and costing you money, it is costing us too!
