Collierville property management is the professional operation of residential rental property in Collierville, Tennessee — marketing and leasing units, screening tenants, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance, and staying compliant with Tennessee landlord-tenant law.

In the metro's most affluent independent town — where roughly 4 in 5 households own their home and only about 19% rent — the game is different from Memphis proper: the rental pool is small but the homes are premium, the schools are the best in the state, and the tenants are excellent. Enterprise Property Management, Inc. (EPM) manages residential rentals in Collierville from our office just up the road in Cordova — built for owners of high-value single-family homes who want a stable, long-tenancy rental run like a business, not a hobby that calls at 2 AM about a water heater.

The Opportunity

Why Is Collierville a Rental Investor's Market?

Collierville is a rental investor's market for the opposite reason Memphis is: not cash flow, but quality. This is the metro's most affluent independent town — top-rated schools, a real corporate-HQ job base, scarce rentals, and tenants who sign a long lease and treat your property like their own.

Of Collierville's roughly 18,160 occupied households, only about 19% rent — near 3,419 rental homes (U.S. Census ACS 2019–2023). Collierville is one of the most owner-occupied communities in the metro, so the rental supply is genuinely thin. For an investor, scarcity is the point: a well-positioned Collierville rental competes for the metro's most qualified tenants in a market with very little of it. That scarcity-plus-quality dynamic is a different lever than the high-volume Memphis real estate investment play — and it rewards owners who hold quality homes patiently.

The Collierville edge: a median household income of $138,598 (U.S. Census ACS 2019–2023) — roughly three times Memphis citywide — in a town anchored by Collierville Schools, ranked the No. 1 district in Tennessee (SchoolDigger). Unlike a pure bedroom suburb, Collierville also has a genuine local job base: corporate headquarters and major campuses clustered in the Schilling Farms business park. High incomes, elite schools, and real local employment produce the metro's most reliable tenants and the longest tenancies. In a premium rental, fewer turnovers is the whole ballgame.

Be honest about the math, though: this is not a high-yield market. Collierville's median home value is around $485,900 (Census ACS 2019–2023), with current market estimates near $513,000 (Zillow Home Value Index, 2026), while a typical single-family home rents for roughly $2,500–$2,900 a month (Apartments.com single-family listings, 2026). That price-to-rent ratio is far thinner than Memphis — so the return here comes from appreciation, stability, and low turnover, not monthly cash flow. The play is a premium asset that holds its value and keeps an excellent tenant for years.

The Service

What Does a Collierville Property Management Company Do?

A Collierville property management company handles the full operational lifecycle of a rental — finding and vetting tenants, collecting rent, coordinating repairs, enforcing the lease, and reporting the numbers — so the owner collects income instead of complaints.

EPM's property management services cover five core jobs:

Marketing & Leasing

Listing, showings, and tenant placement that minimize the vacancy days quietly eating your return.

Tenant Screening

Credit, income, rental history, and background checks. On a premium home, the right tenant is worth waiting for — one bad fit erases a year of returns.

Rent Collection

Consistent billing, online payment, and a clear, lawful process the moment rent is late.

Maintenance Coordination

A vetted vendor network and 24/7 emergency response — so a burst pipe is a phone call, not a catastrophe.

Accounting & Compliance

Owner statements, year-end documents, and adherence to Tennessee law and fair housing rules.

The Plain Version

Screening is a first date that actually matters — reliable, respectful, and unlikely to vanish owing you three months' rent.

The Numbers

How Much Does Property Management Cost in Collierville?

Collierville property management fees start at 8% of collected monthly rent, with the broader market falling in the 8–12% range. Tenant placement usually runs 50–100% of one month's rent, and lease renewals often carry a $150–$300 fee.

That percentage is rarely the real number that matters. A manager who cuts your vacancy by even a few weeks, screens out a non-paying tenant, or catches a small leak before it becomes a $9,000 mold remediation has already earned the fee several times over. The right question isn't "what's the percentage" — it's "what does the percentage protect." See EPM's published property management fees for exact figures with no surprises.

Market Data

What Does the Collierville Rental Market Look Like in 2026?

The Collierville rental market in 2026 is defined by stability at the top of the metro: a single-family home rents for roughly $2,500–$2,900 a month, home values sit near $485K–$513K, and a small, owner-heavy market keeps quality rentals in steady demand.

The Honest Headwinds — and Why They Make a Manager Essential

  • Yields are thin and entry prices are high. At ~$485K–$513K to buy and ~$2,500–$2,900 single-family rent, Collierville's price-to-rent math is far tighter than Memphis. The return comes from appreciation and stability, not fat monthly cash flow — budget accordingly and price the rent precisely.
  • The rental pool is small. Only about 19% of Collierville homes are rented — roughly 3,419 rental households — so quality renters are competed over. Marketing a premium home to the right tenant — and keeping them — is skilled, hands-on work.
  • Premium homes carry a real tax bill. Collierville's combined town + Shelby County rate is $4.31 per $100 of assessed value (2025) — with Tennessee's 25% residential assessment ratio that's roughly 1.08% of market value, or about $5,388 a year on a $500K home: lower than the City of Memphis, but a real cost on premium housing. (The offset: Tennessee charges no state income tax on your rental income.)
  • A cooling, low-volume market rewards precision. Home values are roughly flat to slightly softening into 2026 (Zillow +0.7% year over year; Redfin shows recent sales down and homes sitting longer), so pricing the rent and timing the lease well matter more than ever.

None of these kill the investment thesis — but together they mean precise pricing, careful screening, and long-tenant retention are what separate a profitable Collierville rental from a stagnant one. That's operational work, and operational work is what a manager is for.

The Economy

Which Employers Drive Collierville Rental Demand?

Collierville rental demand rests on a genuine corporate-HQ base, not just commuters: the 443-acre Schilling Farms business park anchors major headquarters and campuses, a Carrier manufacturing plant and a Baptist hospital sit nearby, and the town's own #1-ranked school district and government round out a deep local job market.

Schilling Farms alone is home to corporate headquarters for Mueller Industries and Helena Agri-Enterprises, plus FedEx's sprawling technology campus a short drive away — while Carrier's long-running HVAC plant, Orgill's distribution headquarters, and Baptist Memorial Hospital-Collierville add manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare jobs. When this many real employers cluster in one affluent town, landlords get a steady stream of well-paid, long-tenancy renters.

Poplar Avenue (US 72) is its main commercial spine, while TN Highway 385 / Bill Morris Parkway, Houston Levee Road, and Collierville-Arlington Road (TN 205) carry the rest of the traffic — convenient for tenants, and for the crews who keep their homes running.

Why Tenants Stay

What Makes Tenants Want to Live in Collierville?

Tenants stay in Collierville for the whole affluent-town package: the No. 1 school district in Tennessee, a storybook historic Town Square, nearly 19 miles of greenbelt trails, and upscale shopping at Carriage Crossing — the kind of place families settle into and don't want to leave.

For a landlord, lifestyle is retention: tenants who love where they live renew their leases — and in Collierville they renew for years. The single biggest draw is Collierville Schools, ranked the top district in Tennessee (SchoolDigger), with Collierville High School earning A-grades and top statewide marks — a relocation magnet on its own. The heart of the town is the historic Collierville Town Square, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and named one of the best Main Streets in America, with its bandstand gazebo, restored train depot, and local shops and cafes like The Silver Caboose and Mensi's Dairy Bar.

Recreation runs through the Collierville Greenbelt — nearly 19 miles of trails linking parks, schools, and neighborhoods — plus W.C. Johnson Park with its boardwalks and Peterson Lake Nature Center, Suggs Park's ballfields, dog park, and splash pad, and the 67-acre H.W. Cox Park. Culture has a home at the Harrell Performing Arts Theatre, programmed by the Collierville Arts Council. Shopping is genuinely upscale: Carriage Crossing is an open-air lifestyle center anchored by Dillard's with H&M, Sephora, and dining like Firebirds and Bonefish Grill, while the Schilling Farms Water Tower District and the Town Square round out everyday retail and dining. For renters who could live anywhere in the metro, Collierville's blend of schools, history, and green space is exactly why they choose to stay put.

The Legal Climate

Is Tennessee a Landlord-Friendly State?

Yes — Tennessee is widely considered a landlord-friendly state, with no rent control, no statutory cap on security deposits, no state income tax on rental income, and a relatively fast eviction process.

Tennessee places no cap on security deposits, requires deposits be returned within 30 days, and allows a 14-day notice for nonpayment of rent, with evictions typically resolving in roughly 4–8 weeks. Collierville's combined town + Shelby County property tax is $4.31 per $100 of assessed value (2025) — roughly 1.08% of a home's market value once Tennessee's 25% assessment ratio is applied, about $5,388 a year on a $500,000 home, and a touch lower than the City of Memphis. A local manager keeps you compliant with these rules — fair housing included — while a misstep on notice timing or deposit handling can cost far more than a year of management fees. EPM's Memphis property management FAQs cover the common compliance questions in depth.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do property management companies charge in Collierville?
Most Collierville property managers' fees start at 8% of collected monthly rent for ongoing management, within an 8–12% market range. Expect a separate tenant-placement fee of 50–100% of one month's rent and a lease-renewal fee around $150–$300. EPM publishes its fees transparently so there are no surprises.
Do I really need a property manager in Collierville?
If you own a high-value Collierville rental, a manager protects a large asset. Collierville's rental pool is small (only about 19% of homes rent), so reaching the right qualified tenant takes skilled marketing, and a single bad tenant on a premium home can erase a year of returns. A local manager handles precise pricing, careful screening, showings, maintenance, and Tennessee compliance — especially valuable for out-of-state owners.
Is Collierville a good place to invest in rental property?
Collierville suits a different investor than Memphis. It is not a high-yield cash-flow market — homes run ~$485K–$513K while a typical single-family home rents for about $2,500–$2,900, so yields are thin. The case is stability and quality: the No. 1-ranked school district in Tennessee, a real corporate-HQ job base at Schilling Farms, an affluent population (median household income ~$138,600), excellent tenants, and long tenancies. The play is appreciation and low turnover on a premium asset, not monthly cash flow.
What is the average rent in Collierville?
Because Collierville is overwhelmingly single-family, the honest figure is the house rent: a typical single-family home rents for roughly $2,500–$2,900 a month (Apartments.com, 2026). The handful of apartment complexes average closer to $1,694 (RentCafe, February 2026), and the Census median gross rent — which includes older leases and utilities — was $1,649 (ACS 2019–2023).
What percentage of Collierville residents rent?
Only about 19% of occupied Collierville households are renter-occupied — roughly 3,419 of about 18,160 homes (U.S. Census ACS 2019–2023). Collierville is one of the most owner-occupied communities in the metro, well below the national renter rate of ~35%, which makes quality rentals scarce and sought-after.
Are property taxes high in Collierville?
Collierville's combined town + Shelby County rate is $4.31 per $100 of assessed value (2025) — the Town of Collierville at $1.62 plus Shelby County at $2.69. Because Tennessee assesses homes at 25% of market value, that works out to roughly 1.08% of a home's value — about $5,388 a year on a $500,000 home, a little lower than the City of Memphis. The offset is that Tennessee has no state income tax, so your rental income isn't taxed at the state level.
Is Tennessee landlord-friendly?
Yes. Tennessee has no rent control, no cap on security deposits, requires deposit returns within 30 days, and allows a 14-day notice for nonpayment with evictions typically completing in about 4–8 weeks. It's one of the more favorable states in which to own rental property.
