Handing over your rental property is a big decision, and we want you to feel confident from the very first step. All American Realty and Investment Group manages rental homes throughout Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and Okaloosa County, and every new owner goes through the same clear, structured onboarding process. Here's exactly what to expect, from your first phone call to the day your property is fully managed.
Our Onboarding Process
From the moment the first form gets submitted to the day the listing goes live, here's exactly what happens, step by step.
-
Reach Out and Get Started
It all begins with a simple inquiry form. That one step sets the onboarding journey in motion.
-
Book Your Consultation
A consultation gets scheduled (opens in a new window) right away, giving you the chance to ask questions and get a feel for how things work.
-
The Consultation Call
Expect a full walkthrough of the process, answers to everything on your mind, and an honest gut check on whether it's the right fit. No sales pitch, just a real conversation.
-
Complete Your Onboarding Forms
Onboarding forms come next, filled out quickly and securely through Aptly. Along the way, Hunter Cosse steps in to personally gather everything needed to get the property set up right.
-
Sign the Management Agreement
Signing the agreement makes it official. A $500 maintenance reserve is collected here too, so small repairs down the road never turn into big delays.
-
Property Set Up in Our System
Behind the scenes, the owner and property profile get built in RentVine, the property management software used for everything from here on out. This is also when the online owner portal (opens in a new window) activates, unlocking round-the-clock access to documents and financial reports.
-
The Property Walkthrough
A property manager meets on-site for a hands-on walkthrough, seeing the home firsthand and getting a real feel for what makes it unique.
-
Rent Price and Condition Review
A recommended rent price comes next, based on current market data, along with a candid look at the property's condition and what it needs to be rent-ready.
-
Keys and Access Handover
Keys, garage remotes, gate fobs, and mailbox keys all get handed over here. Within 5 days, a full documented inspection sets a clear baseline before any work begins.
-
Repairs and Make-Ready Work
Repairs, cleaning, and make-ready tasks get coordinated from here, polishing the property until it's ready to impress future tenants.
-
Professional Photography
Once everything's looking its best, a professional photographer gets scheduled. Great photos are often the difference between a quick rental and a long vacancy.
-
Your Property Goes Live
The listing goes out everywhere renters are searching, including Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, StreetEasy, Realtor.com, Apartments.com, Zumper, and Redfin, with showings coordinated to bring in qualified applicants fast.
How Long Does It Take to Get Started?
Every property is a little different, so onboarding timelines vary. Before a property can be listed, it needs to meet our rent-ready standards. For properties already in great shape, this can take as little as a day or two. For properties that need more preparation, make-ready work can take closer to 30 days. Either way, the pace is set by what the property needs, not a moment longer.

Why All American Realty and Investment Group
All American Realty and Investment Group is a veteran-owned property management company with deep roots in the military community around Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, and Duke Field. Many of the families served are active duty, veterans, or military spouses, and we understand what it means to manage a property from a distance.
Every management agreement comes backed by guarantees that put your mind at ease:
-
Always Do the Right Thing
honest communication and principled decisions, every time.
-
Eviction Guarantee
if a resident we place ever requires eviction, our Legal Protection Program covers the process through a licensed attorney at no cost to you.
-
Freedom Guarantee
every agreement is month-to-month, with no penalty for leaving.
Our approach is built on what we call the three pillars of property management: resident relations, property preservation, and money management. When all three work together, your property stays protected, and your return stays strong. With more than 25 years serving property owners along the Emerald Coast, a reputation has been built one property at a time.
