About Us
Data-driven process, flat fees, and a broker who's been managing DFW rentals — not just selling the idea of it.
Our Story
Jakir Malek spent 20+ years in enterprise technology and infrastructure before entering Texas real estate. That background — where you document processes, measure outcomes, and hold every vendor accountable — is exactly what DFW property management has been missing.
Most residential PMs operate on trust and phone calls. We operate on documented workflows, photo-backed inspections, and owner statements you can actually reconcile. The flat-fee structure wasn't a marketing decision — it was the honest answer to a simple question: what fee model actually aligns our incentives with yours?
Percentage-of-rent managers profit when rent rises, not when your property performs well. Vacancy-fee managers charge you the same whether the unit sits empty or not. We took both of those incentive problems off the table by design.
EXL Realty Group is a fully licensed Texas real estate brokerage regulated by TREC. Your PM agreement is with a licensed broker of record — full legal protections of a brokerage relationship.

listwithexl.com →Section 8 / HCV Track Record
Housing Choice Voucher tenancies involve HUD inspections, HAP contracts, housing authority reconciliations, and specific legal notice requirements that differ from standard tenancies. Most DFW property managers either refuse to take Section 8 properties or charge additional fees to cover the complexity.
We built a dedicated HCV tier — at a flat 8% rate with $0 placement fee — because when managed correctly, HAP-backed rent is more reliable than a private-pay tenant who might miss months 8 and 9. The guaranteed housing authority payment portion doesn't bounce.
If you have a current HCV tenancy that's being mismanaged, or a vacant property you'd like to list as Section 8 eligible, we'd like to talk.
