Tenant Vetting & Placement
Credit, criminal, eviction history, income and employment verification, and prior-landlord references. We market the vacancy, show the home, and place a qualified tenant — not the first applicant.
Property Management
Ponte Vedra Beach · St. Augustine · St. Johns County
One local team for your rentals.
Tenants. Rent. Repairs. Reporting.
Most property managers call a contractor and mark it up. Palmetto Ledger is the contractor — and a licensed Florida real estate professional. We take charge of the property, vet the tenant, collect the rent, and handle the work ourselves.
Day-to-Day Management
Rent collection, late notices, lease enforcement, renewals, move-in and move-out inspections, and owner communication. You stay informed. Tenants have a local number that answers.
In-House Repairs & Maintenance
Licensed Certified Residential Contractor on the same team. Routine repairs, make-readies, and remodels without the usual 10–15% vendor markup. PM clients are not subject to the $1,000 drive-out minimum.
Owner Protection & Reporting
Written leases, security deposits handled per Florida law, monthly owner statements, and year-end summaries. Coordinated vendors only when a trade is outside our license — with your approval first.
The Palmetto Ledger difference
Contractor + real estate professional. Not a call center.
Same company that builds and remodels Northeast Florida homes now manages them for owners who want one accountable local contact.
