“The entire team at James-Hawkins is the gold standard of what every Property Management company should be. They do EVERYTHING effortless and on time. From screening tenants, repairs, payments — it is ALL on time and you are never given any hidden charges. If there is one word to walk away with from working with them it is this: COMMUNICATION!”
Jordan LawsProperty Owner · Google Review
★★★★★
“I started working with James-Hawkins in March. Once we signed a management agreement, I simply handed them the key, and they handled placing the Section 8 tenant and all required paperwork. From reaching out to tenant move-in took approximately a month — pretty fast considering the Montgomery Housing Authority bureaucracy.”
