All County Property Management

America’s Best Franchises (ABF) Brand Insight —

All County sits in a category most franchises cannot claim: revenue that recurs by contract rather than by transaction. Every property added produces a monthly management fee, so income compounds instead of resetting each month. Thirty-five years of systems and a proprietary technology stack handle the screening, listings, and accounting that overwhelm independent operators. For an owner, the appeal is a low-overhead, home-based business that can be delegated to property managers and run semi-absentee.

• Ownership Model: Owner-operator or Semi Absentee
• Location Type: Home-based or office
• Time Commitment: Flexible; scalable with property managers

About All County Property Management

All County Property Management launched in 1990, founded by Sandy Ferrera and Scott McPherson and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. The system has since grown to more than 85 locations that manage over 30,000 residential properties across the United States.

Franchisees handle the work property owners want to avoid: tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and lease administration. Proprietary software automates vacancy postings to twenty or more listing sites including Zillow and Realtor.com, giving owners marketing reach that independent operators cannot match.

Why Own an All County Property Management Franchise?

• Recurring revenue model generates monthly residual income from long-term management contracts rather than one-time transactions.
• Semi-absentee friendly, since daily operations can be delegated to property managers while the owner sets the schedule.
• Low overhead structure, home-based or a small office, keeps startup and ongoing operating costs unusually modest.
• Proprietary software handles tenant screening, rent collection, accounting, and maintenance tracking from a single platform.
• Automated vacancy postings reach Zillow, Realtor.com, and twenty or more sites without any manual listing effort.

Why This Opportunity, Why Now

ABF Market Analysis —

The United States has roughly 34 million rental properties, with about a third of all housing renter-occupied, supporting a property management industry that generates around $88 billion a year. Demand keeps climbing as institutional investors acquire single-family rentals and individual landlords conclude they would rather pay a professional than field maintenance calls themselves. Because housing is essential rather than discretionary, owners need management whether the market rises or falls, which makes the revenue unusually durable across economic cycles.

ABF Timing Insight —

All County reported roughly 20% revenue growth per location between 2021 and 2023, and the rental market has continued to favor third-party managers since. For a prospective owner, the combination is attractive: an established 35-year system with refined processes, paired with a low entry cost and territory still available. Because the model is contract-based and delegable, an owner can begin while keeping other commitments and scale the portfolio over time rather than committing to a full-time role from the first day.

Training & Support

• Three days of classroom training at the St. Petersburg headquarters cover operations, sales, tenant management, and the proprietary software systems owners use daily.
• Two days of on-site support at your own location during launch provide hands-on guidance through the first weeks of operating the business.
• Weekly coaching calls continue for ninety days after opening, followed by ongoing support throughout the life of the franchise agreement.
• A customized marketing plan is built for your territory, covering lead generation, networking strategies, and digital campaigns to win management contracts.
• Proprietary software provides automated listings, tenant screening, and accounting at scalable monthly costs that grow only as the portfolio grows.

Who Are We Looking For

• Sales-oriented individuals comfortable building B2B relationships
• Networkers who connect with realtors, investors, and property owners
• Organized operators who manage multiple properties and tenants
• Self-starters who take ownership of territory growth
• Delegators ready to build a team as the business scales

Who Is Not a Good Fit

• Buyers who cannot meet the required liquid capital plus reserves through the initial portfolio-building period.
• Anyone expecting a portfolio to grow without business development, whether performed by the owner or a hired manager.
• Those uncomfortable with relationship selling to realtors, investors, and individual property owners.
• Operators expecting immediate returns rather than income that compounds as contracts are added over time.
• Candidates unwilling to stay organized across many properties, tenants, leases, and maintenance requests at once.
