If you’re still feeling stuck, we recommend this post where we break down what to look for in a property manager. You can read that here.>>

Evernest

Evernest started by default at the beginning of the 2008 economic crisis. When the bottom fell out of the residential housing market, our founder, Matthew Whitaker, was left holding 30 rental houses that he wanted to sell but couldn’t. So he set out to find a property manager with similar beliefs and management preferences as his own. Later that year, Matthew started Evernest and opened our doors for business.

Evernest (formerly gkhouses) has grown into a nationwide company, managing 11,000+ homes for 4,000+ owners in 25+ markets. With property management and brokerage services available in Atlanta, Birmingham, Columbus, Boulder, Chattanooga, Colorado Springs, Denver, Detroit, Fort Collins, Jackson, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, Orlando, Tampa, and Tulsa — Evernest is positioned to be a full-service partner to owners and rental property investors nationwide. 

Evernest offers in-house maintenance, no fees for cancellation, a waived lease fee if a resident leaves within the first year, and a 21-day lease guarantee, where if a resident isn’t placed within 21 days, then your first two months are free. Residents also have access to a 24/7 hotline.
