Atlanta Property Management Group

What Atlanta Property Management Group does

Evernest, operating under the Atlanta Property Management Group brand, is a vertically integrated residential property management firm founded in 2008 by Matthew Whitaker in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company manages 16,000+ properties on behalf of 6,000+ owners across 50+ US markets, providing full-service residential and multifamily property management (for buildings under 100 units), leasing services, real estate brokerage, and in-house maintenance. Its core technology stack is built on AppFolio for the owner and resident portals (financial reporting, maintenance ticketing, rent collection), supplemented by Findigs for tenant screening/underwriting, PayNearMe for cash rent payments, and AI-enhanced photography tools for property marketing; the company also operates proprietary in-house underwriting and project management workflows alongside a self-touring leasing technology.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: sales-led field outreach targeting property owners and investors (supported by free rental analysis reports, investor-friendly real estate agents, and an Evernest Real Estate Investor Podcast), community-led growth through the Evernest Educational Community platform, and self-service digital onboarding via the AppFolio portal. Revenue is primarily recurring — an 8% monthly management fee on collected rent — supplemented by transactional fees including tenant placement (50% of one month's rent, $500 minimum), lease renewals ($250), annual inspections ($149), an Eviction Protection Plan ($200/year), tenant administrative fees ($150–$200), pet fees, and real estate brokerage commissions. Pricing is transparent and published, with no long-term contracts and 30-day cancellation.

Customers are predominantly individual real estate investors and residential property owners (single-family homes, condos, townhomes, small multifamily), including a meaningful segment of out-of-state investors relying on local boots-on-the-ground teams. The company holds BBB accreditation, NARPM and NAR memberships, and reports 18,000+ Google reviews averaging 4.4 stars.

Scale indicators8 records

Others

• Compass: National real estate brokerage with a tech-forward platform for buyers and sellers; comparable to Evernest's brokerage arm and indicative of the broader investor-services competitive landscape where Evernest's agents operate.
• Buildium: Property management software for residential portfolios over 50 units, frequently used by competing SFR managers; illustrates the alternative tech-stack path and the SaaS economics that Evernest's vertically integrated service model must outperform.
• RealPage: Provider of software and data analytics to residential property managers, including AI-driven pricing and operations tools; an adjacent SaaS/enabler whose products are increasingly used by Evernest's competitors to automate work that Evernest performs in-house.
• AppFolio: Property management software platform that powers Evernest's owner and resident portals; a key technology vendor and an adjacent SaaS comparator for evaluating Evernest's underlying tech stack versus building proprietary systems.

Direct peers

• Roofstock: Online marketplace and property management provider for single-family rental investors, offering both acquisition (off-market and listed SFR) and ongoing management services; serves the same investor customer segment as Evernest with a heavy digital-first approach.
• Mynd Property Management: Tech-enabled residential property management company operating across multiple US markets with bundled leasing, rent collection, and maintenance services for individual investors and small landlords, directly comparable to Evernest's SFR-focused, multi-market model.
• Belong Home: Tech-enabled residential property management company that handles leasing, maintenance, and tenant relations for single-family rental owners, competing directly with Evernest in the nationwide SFR management segment.
• Hemlane: Full-service and lease-only property management platform for individual rental property owners, providing tenant screening, rent collection, and maintenance coordination with a self-service software layer analogous to Evernest's AppFolio-powered offering.

Emerging players

• Vacasa: Large-scale professional vacation and short-term rental manager with a national footprint and vertically integrated operations, providing a comparable tech-plus-services operating model even though Evernest focuses on long-term residential.

Broad incumbents

• Greystar Real Estate Partners: World's largest multifamily property operator and manager with a broad residential portfolio; while focused on larger multifamily assets, it represents the institutional incumbent that Evernest competes against at the high end of the small-multifamily segment.
