Why Specialized Stands Apart From Other Birmingham Property Management Companies

Andrew Carnegie

  • Property Showings: We’ll take photos of the home and utilize technology to showcase it from every angle. We’ll also walk through the home with potential tenants and point out it’s best qualities.
  • Comprehensive Tenant Screening: We require each tenant over the age of 18 to fill out an application, and check background, credit, rental and criminal history.
  • Lease Signing: When a tenant signs a lease, we know they may have questions about some of the rules and regulations included. We help tenants understand all the nitty-gritty details.
  • Online Rent Collection: Tenants can pay rent through our website, and funds are directly deposited into your account via ACH.
  • Cost-effective Property Maintenance: We’ll solve maintenance issues quickly and completely. Our licensed professionals will fix everything from a leaky kitchen sink to a broken window.
