Property Management Johns Island, SC

We manage a full range of property types on Johns Island, including single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and waterfront estates. Whether your rental is in a newer community like Oakfield or a waterfront estate along the Stono River, our team has the local expertise to manage it effectively.

We list your property on the Charleston Area MLS, Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Realtor.com, and other major platforms to maximize visibility. We also deliver professional photography, conduct a comparative rental market analysis, and run social media campaigns to attract highly qualified tenants quickly.

Our thorough vetting process includes a full credit check, background check, employment verification, and contact with previous landlords to review rental history, pet history, and overall reliability. We discuss all findings with you before any lease is signed.

We handle everything — from rent collection and monthly disbursements via direct deposit to maintenance coordination through our extensive referral network available 24/7, tenant requests, bi-annual inspections, and lease enforcement. Owners receive detailed monthly statements and a 12-month cash flow report for tax purposes through their secure owner portal.
