Thank you for the opportunity to share information about Georgia Community Management's Rental Property Management Services!
Being a landlord is tough and time consuming. There is a lot to know and stay current with as laws change in this evolving real estate industry. GCM manages both Rental Properties and HOA Associations. This management combination allows GCM to fully understand the bylaws and covenants of your rental property creating a stronger relationship between the HOA Boards, Clients, and Tenants.
Our employees are licensed and in good standing with the Georgia Real Estate Commission and adhere to the License Law as well as the Georgia Landlord Tenant Act. We utilize AppFolio as our Rental Property Software Management system.
