$0 setup. No renewal fee. No maintenance markup. Lease-up fee waived if the property already has a tenant.
Julie Gates founded Sid Was Here in 2004 and is a broker with RE/MAX Coastal Empire. She’s on the Forbes Business Council, co-authored BiggerPockets’ The 30-Day Stay, and holds Cornell University certification in Hospitality Revenue Management.
Julie leads a full-time team of property managers, maintenance coordinators, and leasing specialists who handle the day-to-day for every Sid Was Here landlord. Together they’ve managed rentals across every Savannah submarket: Historic District, Starland, Ardsley Park, Victorian District, Pooler, Richmond Hill, and Tybee Island.
If you own a rental you’re tired of managing — or a home you want to convert into one — this is the team you’d be handing the keys to.
Ten percent of collected rent, flat. No onboarding fee, no renewal fee, no markup on maintenance invoices, and the lease-up fee is waived when the property already has a tenant in place.
The management fee is rarely what decides your return. Vacancy is. A month sitting empty costs more than the spread between one management fee and another, which is why we price to the market rather than to the highest number an owner wants to hear, and screen so the tenant renews instead of turning over.
The rules governing the lease itself — tenant rights, rental agreements, and the eviction process — are set at the state level, not by the city. The Georgia Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division publishes the current Georgia Landlord-Tenant Handbook.
If you own in Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Wilmington Island, or Tybee Island, ask for a rental analysis. We will tell you what the property should rent for, and we will tell you if the numbers do not work.
A long-term rental is a home leased to one household for a year or more, with the tenant paying utilities and treating the property as their primary residence. For owners, it is the steadiest income profile in the Savannah market: fewer turnovers, lower furnishing costs, and no hotel-motel tax or short-term vacation rental permit to manage.
Most of the long-term rentals we place in Savannah, GA are written on 12-month leases, and we work to renew good tenants rather than turn the unit over. If your property fits better as a furnished stay of 30 nights or more for traveling nurses, military families, and corporate relocations, our medium-term rental program covers that model instead.
We manage long-term rentals across Chatham and Bryan counties, including downtown Savannah, Midtown, Southside, Wilmington Island, Tybee Island, Pooler, and Richmond Hill. See our local pages for Pooler rentals, Richmond Hill rentals, and Savannah rentals.
Whether you own one single-family home or a small portfolio, our long-term rental management in Savannah, GA is built to keep the property leased, the tenant happy, and the numbers working in your favor. See our full Savannah property management services.
Experience professional management, local market expertise, and a team that lives and breathes short-term rentals. Let the results speak for themselves.
