Smiths Station Property Management
Let Us Manage Your Smiths Station Rental Property
Premier Realtors of Columbus Property Management has managed rental homes across the Chattahoochee Valley since 2007 — about 300 of them, on both sides of the Georgia–Alabama line. We are veteran-owned, and somebody here answers the phone when a water heater fails at 9pm.
Full service means we price the home against what has actually leased nearby, market it, screen the applicants, write the lease under the law of the state the house is actually in, collect the rent, handle maintenance, and send you a statement every month. Our management fee is 10% of the rent we collect.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Smiths Station Property Management
Smiths Station is 36877, Lee County, Alabama — a real town with its own name, its own schools and its own sense of itself, sitting on the eastern edge of the Columbus commute. Pine, open ground, and enough room between houses that you notice the quiet.
People move here for space and stay for the schools. It is the kind of place where families arrive planning three years and are still there at ten.
Why do people choose Smiths Station?
Room, a distinct small-town identity, and a commute that still works. It is Lee County, Alabama, so it has its own school system rather than sharing Phenix City or Columbus — and that is the reason many families land here rather than closer in.
It also sits between two economies. Columbus and Fort Benning are one direction, Auburn and Opelika the other. That gives a tenant more than one place to work without moving house, which is unusual for a town this size and part of why the rental market here is steadier than its size suggests.
What does that mean for an owner?
Longer tenancies and lower turnover than anything in Columbus. Fewer applicants come through, but the ones who do are usually settling rather than passing through, and they renew.
Price it against Lee County, not against Phenix City or Columbus. It is a different market with a different school system and it does not track either of its neighbours.
Which state law applies?
Alabama. Smiths Station is Lee County, Alabama, so Alabama landlord-tenant law governs the lease, the deposit and any eviction — filed in Lee County, not Russell and certainly not Muscogee.
Owners who also hold a house in Columbus are running two properties under two different regimes: Georgia vs. Alabama for rental owners.
This is general information, not legal advice — laws change.
What do you charge?
Ten percent of the rent we collect each month, plus a one-time leasing fee agreed per property when we place a tenant. Nothing in a vacant month. The full breakdown is here.
