I do not know of any in Mississippi. But here are some questions you should ask.

  • How long have you been in business?
  • How many properties do you manage?
  • How many employees do you have?
  • Who will I be speaking to regarding leasing accounting and maintenance?
  • How long does it take you to lease a property?
  • What platforms do you advertise on?
  • What is your property management fee and leasing fee?
  • What reserves do you require?
  • Can we cancel the contract at any time?
  • Do you charge a fee for move in or move out inspections?
  • Do you mark up on maintenance services?
  • Up to what dollar amount can you make decisions without my permission?
  • How do you handle evictions, and if any, what costs are associated?

I don't recommend any of the propety management companies. As someone who has lived in South Jackson for 20 years I've watched properties managed by companies sit there for months only to get vandalized and totally trashed. I use my real estate agent Katrina Hawkins who owns Dove Realty to manage my properties now that I live out of state. Her husband does handiman stuff so I don't get nickled and dimed for the cost of finding contractors.

Hi Susan,

I have a current rental property in Jackson and am in desperate need of a change in property mgmt(using Allstar Prop Mgmt)! Do you know if your referral at Dove Realty will manage other properties?  Thanks in advance

You can always contact her, but wait awhile. There has been a tragedy in her family. Her number is 601-238-3287. Give it a few days. BTW, I lived in Aptos for a short period after I graduated from UCSC. Miss Santa Cruz, but if I sold all of my numerous properties I couldn't afford anything there.
