How much does property management cost in the east metro?

$99 a month for your first home and $79 a month for each additional home. It's a flat fee, not a percentage of the rent.

Finding a tenant costs one month's rent, and a lease renewal is $250. See every fee we charge.

Do you charge while my home is vacant?

No. There's no management fee for a month the home is vacant all month and no rent is owed.

Partial months are prorated.

How fast will you answer me?

You get a real answer within 2 hours (7 a.m.–10 p.m.), or that month's management fee is waived automatically.

You can cancel anytime with 60 days' notice, and there's no termination fee.

If a tenant we place in a home we manage defaults and leaves, we find your next tenant with no leasing fee and waive our eviction fees, for as long as we manage your home. Our eviction fees are $400, plus $150 per additional court appearance. Court filing fees, process and sheriff fees, attorney fees, unpaid rent, damages, and turnover costs aren't included. Exclusions apply — see Section 9(b) of our management agreement. See our Tenant Placement Guarantee.
