To foster long term relationships and provide continuity to our clients, customers, and vendors, we want our Team Members to grow with us, so that we can grow with you.
The Joiner Team focuses on providing a positive customer and client experience, superior to the standards often set by other management companies. All our Property Managers are all licensed Real Estate Agents in the state of Georgia, and are more than equipped to manage one of your greatest assets.
We also have a dedicated Maintenance Coordinator, an in-house Bookkeeper with an Enrolled Agent designation, as well as a Sales Team. Our Sales Team works with primary home sales and investment properties. Joiner is the one-stop-shop for all your Real Estate and Property Management needs!

Eviction
Eviction
Out of our 525+ units we manage, we will have 1-2 evictions a year on average. In the unfortunate event that a tenant needs to be evicted from a property, we will handle the eviction process and work to collect any unpaid rents or outstanding debts.
Marketing
Marketing
Marketing is key to finding a qualified tenant. We market your property on many different online advertising platforms, put a sign in the ground, and place an ad on our website. We also have extensive knowledge of the Athens and Oconee rental markets, as well as years of data and rental trends. We assess each property to establish the best market rent.
Maintenance
Maintenance
We want to take care of the properties we manage. Responsive maintenance keeps the tenant happy and preventative maintenance helps a property hold its value over time. We pride ourselves on our typical turnaround of 1 - 3 business days to resolve maintenance requests. We have an extensive and established vendor network. We require workers compensation insurance and general liability from our vendors. Also, we have a 24 hour on-call emergency phone line. And, for those larger remodel / rehab jobs, we have contractors for that as well.
Accounting
Accounting
We have an in-house Bookkeeper with an Enrolled Agent designation and a degree in Accounting and Finance from UGA. We prepare and publish monthly income statements, along with annual income statements and a 1099 to assist in your tax preparation. With our in-house Bookkeeper and our online portal, it's never been easier to keep tabs on your investment.
Rent Collection
Rent Collection
We get paid paid when you get paid, so rent collection is a top priority for us. We collect 97%~ of all rents within the first 3 days of every month, and almost 100% of all rents by the 15th of every month.
Screening
Screening
We do credit checks, criminal background checks, and eviction history reports on every applicant. Our credit criteria is a 675 or higher credit score. Applicants will not be approved if they have any violent criminal background. For applicants under 30 years of age that don’t have a 675 or higher credit score, we will allow for sponsors / guarantors that are related to the applicant in consanguinity and above them in the family tree.
Inspections
Inspections
We preform up to 3 inspections on a property every year. Our inspections include photos and notes, and provide clear documentation when we make charges against the security deposit. Properties are inspected annually in the Winter. Then, when a resident moves in and out, we also preform inspections using a digital format with photos and notes as well. We are all about documentation!
