What to Know Before and After You Sign With Us
Whether you’re evaluating property management for the first time or you’re already an owner with us, this page covers the practical details: how onboarding works, when you get paid, who handles things after hours, and how your lease and deposit are protected.
For specific questions not covered here, our Owner FAQs page has more detail.
Quick Answer: Executive Property Management is licensed with the Alabama Real Estate Commission, onboards new owners in 24 to 72 hours, pays owner disbursements by direct deposit each month, and holds tenant security deposits in escrow as required under Alabama law.
Onboarding Moves Fast Once We Have Your Documents
Once we receive the required documents from you, we typically issue a management agreement within 24 to 72 hours. As soon as it’s signed, we can begin managing your property right away.
From there, your property moves into our normal property management process: evaluation, leasing if needed, and ongoing management.
There’s no long waiting period between deciding to work with us and actually getting started.

Typically within 24 to 72 hours of receiving your documents.
Property Evaluation
We review the property and, if needed, move it into our tenant placement process.
Management Begins

Ongoing Reporting

From a Single Rental to a Full Portfolio
Our portfolio ranges from single-family homes to small and mid-sized multifamily properties, up to large community apartment complexes. We manage market-rate rentals and affordable housing, including Section 8 and other subsidized programs.
Whether you own one unit or an entire development, the same onboarding process, disbursement schedule, and support structure applies.
If you’re considering accepting Section 8 tenants, your property will need to meet HUD’s Housing Quality Standards and pass an inspection. Our Section 8 property management team can walk you through what that involves.
