What you'd pay
Management fee only. Leasing and renewals apply when a tenant moves in or renews.

Ask us anything else. If the answer isn't simple, that's a red flag in any management agreement, including ours.
Why not a lower management fee?
Low headline fees are usually recovered somewhere else: repair markups, admin fees, inspection fees, renewal fees tied to rent. We'd rather charge a fair 8% and nothing hidden. Compare total cost over a year, not the headline rate.
Do you keep the tenant's late fees?
Yes. A late fee is a collection charge: chasing late rent is work on our end, and the tenant pays it, not you. We earn our 8% only when rent actually comes in, so on-time rent is still what we want most.
How do you decide the make-ready tier?
By scope, before work starts. You see the contractor bids and the tier in writing, and the tier never changes because the bill went up.
Is there a reserve held in my account?
Yes, $500 per door ($1,000 for a duplex) stays in your account so small repairs don't wait on approvals. Anything over $500 gets a call to you first.
What does "cancel anytime" actually mean?
Give written notice and we hand over leases, deposits, keys and records to you or your next manager. No termination fee, and no fee to "release" the tenant.
