Evernest

Evernest started at the beginning of the 2008 economic crisis by default. When the bottom fell out of the residential housing market, our founder, Matthew Whitaker, was left holding 30 rental houses that he wanted to sell but couldn’t. So he set out to find a property manager with similar beliefs and management preferences as his own. Later that year, Matthew started Evernest and opened our doors for business.Evernest (formerly gkhouses) has grown into a nationwide company, managing thousands of homes in dozens of real estate markets. Evernest offers in-house maintenance, no fees for cancellation, and a waived lease fee if a resident leaves within the first year. Residents also have access to a 24/7 hotline.
