Southland Properties

What Southland Properties does

Southland Properties is a privately held property management company headquartered at 244 N. Peters Road, Knoxville, TN, operating in the Knoxville, Tennessee market area. The company delivers property management services across four verticals: residential rental properties, commercial real estate (office, retail, industrial, warehouse, manufacturing), homeowner associations (HOAs), and mini-storage facilities. Its service stack is built around in-house capabilities including maintenance professionals, lawn care crews, accounting with fiduciary responsibility, attorney-prepared contracts, and monthly owner reporting. The company operates two branded mini-storage facilities, Beaver Creek Mini-Storage and Cumberland Estates Mini-Storage, the latter offering climate-controlled units. Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct inquiry via website forms and a phone line ((865) 694-6100), with a minor social media presence on Twitter (@SouthlndPrpMgmt).

The company's technology layer consists of two third-party SaaS platforms: AppFolio for HOA management (serving Smithbilt Homes, Waterside Condos, and Legends of Avalon) and SecureCafe3 for residential and commercial tenant portals handling maintenance requests, payments, and owner resources. The company partners with Southland Realtors Commercial Group as a channel partner for commercial listing flow. Revenue is generated through recurring management fees from property owners across the four verticals under a subscription/contract model; pricing for residential and commercial management is not publicly disclosed, while mini-storage unit pricing ranges from $75/month (5x10) to $300/month (15x30) with climate-controlled units priced between $95 and $195/month.

No external funding, M&A activity, leadership team disclosures, or revenue figures are documented in the source data. The firm is registered as a Tennessee-based private entity operating without a disclosed parent company or external investment. Its competitive positioning rests on being a single provider for residential, commercial, HOA, and mini-storage property types in a single regional market, with bundled in-house service delivery rather than AI-driven or technology-led differentiation.
