Property Management North Metro Atlanta
Georgia Rental Group is a licensed full service property management company located in Cherokee County, Canton, GA. We provide comprehensive management services for rental property owners.
Tri-Fold Comprehensive Landlord Services Program
Georgia Rental Group offers a complete, turn-key solution for landlords. We call this our Tri-Fold, Comprehensive Landlord Services Program.
The three areas covered by our program include the following:
1. Property Acquisition and Preparation
If you are looking to buy rental property, we will find suitable rentals that match your criteria. Once you own a property, we will consult with you about the preparations needed to get it in rent ready condition.
Our knowledge of the local rental market in the North Metro Atlanta area will help you to understand what needs to be done to your property to attract the best tenants at the highest rental rate in the market. We will also advise you to save money by not making unnecessary upgrades that have no effect on getting better tenants or a higher rent rate.
When tenants move out, we will assist in making the property rent ready quickly in order to find new tenants as fast as possible.
We will coordinate with contractors and vendors as needed to prepare your property for rent. We save you the time and hassle of doing this yourself.
2. Tenant Screening and Placement
Do you enjoy finding potential tenants, screening them properly, and then doing the move-in inspection in accordance with Georgia real estate law? No?
Our years of experience working with tenants and our knowledge of landlord tenant laws enable us to effectively market your house for rent, screen applicants, and place the best, qualified tenants into your property.
We run background checks and credit checks on all applicants. The processes and procedures we use are in accordance with fair housing regulations and we have a proven track record of consistently finding and placing tenants into rental property.
3. Daily Property Management Services
Our property management and landlord services are not limited to once a month rent collection. We train tenants when to call us if your property needs attention. We are available during normal business hours to assist tenants with their everyday rental questions and we are also available to respond to emergencies such as a burst pipe late at night.
Your property is professionally managed to deal with tenant problems as well as problems with the property itself. We rarely encounter a problem tenant who needs to be evicted, but when we do, we know how to quickly and efficiently handle the eviction process and move on to finding another tenant as soon as possible to fill the vacancy.
Our efficient rent collection process includes making direct deposits into your bank account so you don’t miss out on the monthly cash flow you expect from your rental property.

TENANT PLACEMENT
When renting a property, it is important to quickly qualify tenants. This process includes running a credit check, a national background check, verifying references, verifying employment and income. All of these steps are necessary to ensure the tenant will be able to meet their responsibilities in an effective manner. Having these measures in place ensures that the landlords can be confident we are getting the best applicants when it comes to renting the property out.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
We understand the importance of maintaining your property and will ensure it stays in the best condition possible with our four maintenance checks per year. We have experienced staff and use of the latest technology to manage your property effectively, providing you with peace of mind that your investment is in safe hands.
RENTAL PRICE ANALYSIS
