“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!”
“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.”
“Working with this property management team has been an absolute game-changer. April is amazing — professional, proactive, and always on top of every detail. Philip is awesome too — super knowledgeable, reliable, and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend!”
“I am a current resident. I really appreciate this company because they work with you and they help in any way possible. Communications are great.”
