Built on trust and relationships, Joiner and Associates is a professional Property Management company founded in 1993. By working with Joiner and Associates, our Clients become our partners, aligned by a mutual interest – stewarding your asset, while driving a return on your investment.

Our Expertise and Specialization
Joiner and Associates operates a portfolio/department-based hybrid structure. Each Client is placed into a portfolio. Each portfolio is managed by a dedicated Property Manager Team. Our portfolio-based Property Management structure creates continuity between our Property Manager Team and the Client, as well as the Tenant, ensuring consistent, personalized service. Although our Client’s primary point of contact is their Property Manager Team, internally our company is structured by department, allowing for specialization in Leasing, Maintenance and Repairs, and Accounting.
Leasing
Our Property Managers are Licensed Real Estate Agents. They are well-versed in fair housing, landlord-Tenant laws, and local property ordinances. Although their focus is Property Management, they also understand the local Real Estate market. Multiple Property Managers and Team Members also speak fluent Spanish, allowing us to better serve a wider array of residents.
Maintenance and Repairs
When it comes to repairs and maintenance, we have an In-House Maintenance Team, as well as a trusted 3rd party vendor network. Our In-House Maintenance Team was built with the intention of driving value to our Clients by offering a superior repair service at a fair market rate. When we are unable to make a repair in-house, we leverage our trusted 3rd party vendor network to execute the work.
Accounting
The Accounting Team is led by Franco Giannoni. Franco not only holds degrees in Accounting and Finance from the Terry School of Business at UGA, but he also has an Enrolled Agent Designation, meaning he can discuss and file taxes. Franco and his team are responsible for accounting for all income and expenses, as well as disbursing Client’s funds monthly. Although we don’t offer a tax filing service, our Clients have access to his tax expertise.

We do credit checks, criminal background checks, and eviction history reports on every applicant. Our credit criteria is a 675 or higher credit score. Applicants will not be approved if they have any violent criminal background. For applicants under 30 years of age that don’t have a 675 or higher credit score, we will allow for sponsors / guarantors that are related to the applicant in consanguinity and above them in the family tree.
Inspections
Inspections
We preform up to 3 inspections on a property every year. Our inspections include photos and notes, and provide clear documentation when we make charges against the security deposit. Properties are inspected annually in the Winter. Then, when a resident moves in and out, we also preform inspections using a digital format with photos and notes as well. We are all about documentation!
