The problem

Most owners cannot see what their manager charges.

Fees arrive one at a time, in summaries nobody can check.

Vacancy fees

You pay while the unit sits empty - for their failure to fill it.

Hidden markups

Repair invoices marked up, with no line on the statement saying by how much.

Fee after fee

Leasing, renewal, setup and statement fees, each billed separately.

Numbers you take on trust

A monthly total with no detail behind it, and no way to tell whether it is right.

What you pay

Every charge disclosed in advance.

What we charge

10%of rent and other income collectedBase rent and the recurring income that comes with it - late fees, pet rent, parking. Only on what is actually collected, and itemized on your statement.
+10%on third-party repair invoicesWhen a vendor does the work you pay their invoice plus a 10% vendor coordination fee, and the fee is its own line on your statement rather than folded into the price.
$50/hrwhen our own team does the workCharged in half-hour increments, with materials passed through at cost. No vendor coordination fee on in-house labor or on materials.

What we don't

Vacancy fees
Leasing or tenant-placement fees

If it isn't on the list, we don't charge it.
