A great tenant can make your investment thrive; a bad one can cost you thousands. Here's an inside look at the James-Hawkins screening process — from pulling credit across all three major bureaus (not just one) to verifying two prior landlord references — and why our approach results in lower eviction rates and longer tenancies.
What This Means for Montgomery Property Owners
Managing rental property in Montgomery comes with unique challenges — from navigating Alabama's landlord-tenant laws to handling maintenance in older homes. Having a professional property management partner changes everything.
James-Hawkins offers full-service property management with zero maintenance markups, 3-bureau tenant screening, and deep Section 8 expertise. We've built our reputation on transparency, communication, and results — which is why we maintain a 5.0-star rating on Google.
Our Approach to Property Management
Unlike many property managers who mark up vendor quotes 10–20%, we pass all maintenance invoices through at cost. Our tenant screening includes credit checks across all three major bureaus, two prior landlord references, employment verification, and background checks. The result: qualified tenants who pay on time and take care of your property.
We also partner with Hunter Warfield for post-move-out collections and work with one of Montgomery's top eviction attorneys when legal action is necessary. See why owners choose us.
