Jewell Restored Asset Management LLC is a residential property management company headquartered at 66 Buckeye Loop S, Midland, Georgia 31820, serving the Columbus, Georgia metropolitan area. The Company provides full-service, third-party management of single-family homes, duplexes, small multifamily buildings, and a multi-unit apartment property, earning recurring fee income on a portfolio of approximately 103 rental doors with combined scheduled rents of roughly $114,500 per month (approximately $1.37 million annualized). The Company operates a classic fee-based management model: a 10% management fee on collected rents, a $35 per-unit monthly administrative fee, $50 property inspection fees on designated homes, late-fee income, and ancillary charges. In June 2026, the Company recorded approximately $9,144 in gross percentage management fees across its two managed portfolios, alongside roughly $3,400 in per-unit fees and additional inspection and late-fee income, implying annualized gross fee-related revenue in the range of $110,000–$150,000 depending on occupancy, collections, and ancillary activity. Management is delivered through the AppFolio property management platform, with rent collected via AppFolio ACH processing, FLEX rent payment integrations, Section 8 / Housing Authority direct deposits (approximately $10,356 per month in housing-authority receipts), and conventional deposits. Owner distributions, vendor payments, and fee splits are administered through the Company’s Colony Bank general operating account, which handled approximately $118,700 of credits and $131,900 of debits in June 2026 alone — evidence of a substantial, active money-movement operation typical of a scaled management business. The portfolio is diversified across roughly 90 distinct addresses in the Columbus–Midland–Fort Benning corridor, with rents ranging from $369 to $3,125 per month (portfolio average approximately $1,122; median approximately $962). Occupancy at the June 2026 rent roll was approximately 82–83%, presenting an immediate lease-up opportunity for an acquirer: filling the roughly 16–18 vacant doors at current asking rents would add approximately $19,000+ of monthly rent under management and roughly $2,300+ of incremental monthly fee revenue. The opportunity is well suited to (i) an existing regional property manager seeking a bolt-on door acquisition in the Columbus MSA, (ii) an investor-operator seeking an established fee stream with embedded relationships with local owners, Section 8 tenancy, and vendor networks, or (iii) a real estate brokerage seeking to add a recurring-revenue management division.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating service business acquisitions.
A pest-control, cleaning, or landscaping firm with recurring agreements is worth far more than one living on one-off jobs; get the contracted share and the renewal rate.
A few large accounts can carry — and walk with — the business; review the top customers, contract lengths, and cancellation terms.
In many service businesses the owner is the salesperson and the trusted contact; understand who holds the customers and the transition plan.
These are labor-heavy; understand staffing, turnover, wage pressure, and whether key crews stay.
Pest control, security, legal, and waste businesses carry licenses and obligations that may be tied to the owner — and some, like dry cleaners, carry environmental exposure.
Low-capital service businesses are easy to dress up; scrutinize owner add-backs, vehicle and equipment condition, and whether the margins hold.
