Sovereign & Jacobs is a full-service property management company that specializes in rentals and association management (HOA, COA & POA). The legacy of S&J started in 1992 when Phil & Mary Jacobs founded Jacobs, Jacobs & Associates when Phil retired from the Navy after 28 years of service. Phil and the Jacobs team quickly earned a reputation for excellence and personalized service. Phil became a recognized leader with the highest designation in the association management industry as a Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM®) and was designated as a faculty member for the Community Association Institute teaching advanced management techniques throughout the United States. Phil was certified by Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulations (DBPR) to facilitate seminars for the Division of Florida Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes targeting Condominium and Cooperative homeowners in Florida. He was also a State designated education provider for the C.A.M. Pre-Licensure requirements. While expanding their business in the central Florida area, Phil & Mary met Ellen G. Lumpkin, a Partner of Melrose-Sovereign Companies, a leading dual-service Property Management Company operating throughout the state. Ellen is also a management leader known for her integrity and solid knowledge of community association management. As their relationship grew over the years, the trio realized their philosophies and desire for excellence through expertise, service and community building were exactly aligned, and a decision was made to merge their companies in early 2012. The Sovereign & Jacobs team takes pride in exceeding homeowner expectations through communications, customer service, and transparent accounting. Our customers voted S&J as one of the Best Property Management Companies in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, and Orlando in 2019 & 2020.
