How long has Legacy Realty Group North Florida been in business?
Legacy Realty Group North Florida is an experienced property management firm in Northeast Florida, serving real estate investors and residents since 2016. We combine 'old school' family-owned customer service with the most up-to-date technology. We create an unmatched experience for our owner-investors as well as our tenant-residents. -
Will Legacy Realty Group North Florida manage my property if I already have a tenant in place?
Yes. We are very experienced in taking on the management of a property with a current tenant in place. We often take over management in situations where a tenant may be delinquent in rent, or the owners are having difficulty managing a current tenant. When this happens, we perform a full lease audit and work with the tenant to ensure that they either conform to the terms of the lease and bring their rent current, or when necessary, vacate the property. -
Does Legacy Realty Group North Florida manage furnished or short-term rentals?
No. We do not manage furnished properties or short-term rentals. -
How do you advertise my rental property?
Our extensive and proven marketing program attracts high quality applicants from a variety of sources. When a property is vacant our goal is to obtain a highly qualified resident as quickly as possible. We provide a competitive rental price analysis which combines market data with our professional knowledge of current market conditions to give you the most competitive and accurate pricing. In addition to photos, we can market our properties with video tours so that they can be viewed online at the convenience of the applicant. We partner with other listing platforms (including Zillow, Trulia, Realtor, Rentals, and more) to ensure your property is receiving maximum exposure to the market. We utilize our social media platforms to showcase our properties. -
How do you screen tenants?
In depth tenant screening is the foundation of a good property management. Our screening process utilizes technology plus checking references to ensure we place high quality tenants in our properties. We comply with all federal and state laws governing applicant screening. -
Can I be involved in the selection of a tenant?
No. You can trust us to minimize the risk of placing a poor-quality tenant. Our applicant screening process has processed thousands of applicants and we know exactly what to look for in a high-quality tenant-resident. We comply with all fair housing rules and regulations as well as Florida applicant screening laws. -
Do I need to sign the lease for a new tenant?
No. As your legal agent, Legacy Realty Group North Florida, Inc signs all of the legal documents on your behalf. -
How do I access my financial reports?

How do I get my money each month?
We close out the monthly accounting cycle and do a direct deposit of your funds on the 10th day of each month. -
Is there a maintenance or escrow reserve I need to pay?
No. We will approve repairs and maintenance up to $500 and collect from you. All maintenance over $500 will be requested directly to you – except in an emergency. -
Who holds the security deposit?
Legacy Realty Group North Florida, Inc does not hold tenant security deposits. You, the owner, will hold the security deposit. -
Can I do my own property repairs or use my own vendors?
While a property is vacant, you are welcome to do whatever make-ready work you would like to do on your property. When a tenant is living in the property, we do need to screen who is accessing the property for the protection of the tenant-residents. Therefore, we will use our pre-screened and pre-approved vendors. If you have a favorite vendor, please give us their contact information – we are always looking to add new high-quality vendors to our group! -
Can you help me buy or sell real estate?
