What Sets Us Apart From Other Old Fourth Ward Property Managers
We Are Intown Experts
After owning rental properties many years, we started Your Intown Home Property Management in 2010 to manage properties for others as well. Unlike many property management companies that cover the entire Atlanta Metro Area and beyond, we at Your Intown Home focus exclusively on the vibrant, eclectic neighborhoods sprinkled through in-town Atlanta. For over 30 years we have lived, owned rental properties, and managed properties professionally in these neighborhoods. We have extensive knowledge of each neighborhood and the market prices that come with specific locations, space, finish levels and amenities.
For over 30 years we have lived, owned rental properties, and managed properties professionally in these neighborhoods. We have extensive knowledge of each neighborhood and the market prices that come with specific locations, space, finish levels and amenities.
Today, we manage about 100 properties exclusively in Atlanta's intown neighborhoods. Most of these are single family homes or condo/loft units. We manage a few small multi-family properties ranging in size from duplexes and including one 12-unit apartment building. All of our rentals are maintained in great condition. We do not manage any homes that are not well maintained. Our average tenancy is over three years and we have several tenants that have been in their home for over 10 years.
With a high concentration of in-town rentals under management, we are often able to “cross-sell” tenant prospects to other properties in our portfolio (maybe yours) if the one they’ve inquired about is already rented or does not meet their requirements.
Why Choose Your Intown Home
Property Management
Our Intown Expertise Is
Unparalleled
Atlanta's in-town real estate commands different pricing and appeals to a different demographic than properties in other parts of the Metro area. We provide expert, professional management for property owners who want a hands-free real estate investment, and we guarantee you a 5-Star experience. Our systems are designed for property owners who have investment homes in Atlanta's intown neighborhoods whether they live in intown themselves, outside the perimeter (OTP) or on the other side of the globe.
Responsiveness and Great Communications Are Core to Our 5-Star Service
We answer the phone and respond to emails! The most common complaint we hear from landlords looking to make a change in property management companies is a lack of communication. We believe that communication is the key to a successful and profitable owner-manager relationship.
Responsiveness to applicants, owners and tenants is one of the hallmarks of Your Intown Home. This simple but significant difference between us and the competition continues to set us apart. In addition to timely communication on all details regarding your property, you will have 24/7 online access to your account portal and a live-voice answer on the phone lines of Your Intown Home.
Turn Key Services Are Designed To Make Your Life Easier
Hand us the keys and relax! We offer a comprehensive solution for our property-owner clients so you don’t have to worry about a thing. These services include:
- Marketing the property to prospective tenants
- Screening and placing well-qualified tenants in your house
- Ongoing property and tenant relationship management
- Property maintenance and financial reporting
We also provide brokerage services for clients and customers looking to buy or sell properties.
Integrity Creates The Basis For A Trusted Relationship
At Your Intown Home, our guiding principle is to make judgement calls and provide advice and guidance that follow the course of action we would choose if we owned the property ourselves. There are times when such decisions are complex and not readily obvious to those unfamiliar with the nuances. From time to time, it may make more sense to spend a little extra money now to secure a tenant for an extended tenancy or to end a tenancy at the end of a lease term in the high season rather than allow it to go month-to-month into the slower rental months. We’ll give you our perspective and rationale and let you make the final decision.
Both property-owner clients and tenants appreciate Your Intown Home’s integrity. Our “no hidden fees” policy ensures a relationship of trust between us and our owner-clients. Tenants appreciate our transparent and clearly expressed leasing guidelines. As with our property owner-clients, our goal is to provide “5-star” service to our tenants, and, in so doing, give them every reason we can to renew their lease on their anniversary date.
Protecting Your Investment And Maximizing Your Results Are Key Priorities
We understand that your real estate holdings are a significant part of your financial portfolio. Our goal is to protect that investment so that it grows in value over time. We provide guidance on necessary repairs to protect the structure and integrity of your home as well as suggestions for upgrades or enhancements to ensure your property’s continuing competitive advantage in the rental marketplace. We work together to maximize your rental property’s contribution to your financial position.
Experienced And Professional Staff Are Here To Help
We are members of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) a very active trade organization through which we attend conferences and take continuing education courses in property management. As subject matter experts in areas such as Fair Housing, Georgia Landlord-Tenant law, ADA regulations, HUD Service and Support Animal requirements, Fair Credit Reporting Act, we stay abreast of legislation that could impact the residential rental industry.
Cameron, our Associate Broker, is a member of the Georgia Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors and has been awarded the “Top Producer” designation from the Atlanta Realtors Association for every year since 2016.
How Much Rent Can You Get For Your Rental Home?
We’d Be Happy To Give You A Free Estimate!
Because we focus on the small footprint of Atlanta’s popular, intown neighborhoods, we are very well-versed in current market rates for each area. Some companies offer computer generated reports, but we’ve found that these reports tend to be no more accurate than you might find on Zillow or other AVMs (Automated Value Models).
Our custom market analysis is the first step in honing in on topline revenue expectations for your rental home. As a next step we’ll want to see your home in person. Rental pricing depends on a broad array of considerations including location, finish levels, size, amenities and time of year. Based on all these factors, and your personal goals, we’ll help you determine the best pricing strategy for your property. Our custom market analysis will provide:
- Optimized Rental Value For Your Property
- When Applicable, Suggestions To Enhance Your Home’s Market Value
- Relevant Insights Into Current Market Conditions
- Cash Flow Estimates From Monthly Rental Value

Discover Old Fourth Ward
Few neighborhoods have seen the astounding revitalization and innovation that Old Fourth Ward has: the transformation of the former Sears building into Ponce City Market, the development of Old Fourth Ward Park, the bustling Ponce de Leon corridor, the Beltline with its attendant restaurants, retail and office space, the hip Edgewood Ave. entertainment district, and a booming residential scene that includes apartment buildings and both modern and traditional single family homes. O4W with its great diversity, walkability and integration of residential, retail, and business has something for everyone.
O4W is home to landmarks such as Martin Luther King Jr.’s boyhood. This dog friendly neighborhood boasts Freedom Barkway dog park, which takes its punny name from Freedom Parkway and trail. A great neighborhood for viewing street art, a skate park with world-class skateboard amenities, a playground with splash pad, and a multi-use athletic field are just some of the outstanding features O4W has to offer.
September brings Art on the Atlanta BeltLine, an outdoor exhibition of artist’s work from Atlanta and beyond, and its premier event, The Lantern Parade. This glowing procession of light, music and color was created by Chantelle Rytter and the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons and brings together folks from all over the Atlanta area for a wholly unique shared artistic experience.
