What we handle

Every detail of the rental cycle

One team, one phone number, one monthly statement. You keep the asset; we carry the work.

Leasing & marketing

We photograph, list and show your apartment or home across the major rental channels, then fill it with a qualified tenant, fast.

Average vacancy: 18 days

Tenant screening

Credit, background, eviction history and income checks on every applicant. Good tenants are the whole business.

Full reports on every applicant

Rent collection

Online payments, automatic reminders and firm-but-fair follow-up. Owners get paid on a predictable schedule, every month.

Owner payouts monthly

Maintenance coordination

A maintenance line and a vetted bench of Louisville trades. Small fixes stay small, and tenants stay happy.

Local crews

Inspections & turns

Documented move-in and move-out reports, plus make-ready turns that get units back on the market quickly.

Photo-documented turns

Owner reporting

Plain-English monthly statements, year-end tax packets, and a real person who answers when you call.

Statements in plain English

Consulting & advisory

New investors, out-of-state owners and landlords weighing a turnaround get straight local advice: market rents, rehab scope and a realistic plan.

Hourly or by project

We live here. GEM is a Louisville company managing Louisville property, and we've been doing it for over 35 years. From West End bungalows and Shively duplexes to Old Louisville fourplexes, we know the blocks, the inspectors, the trades and the tenants.

Owners get a partner who treats every unit like an asset worth protecting. Tenants get a manager who answers the phone and fixes what breaks.
