What do you guarantee?
Two things, in writing.
Two hours. Or the month is free.
Call, text, or email us — or message through your owner portal — between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and you'll get a real answer with next steps within 2 hours, not an autoresponder. Messages that come in overnight are answered by 9 a.m. If we miss the window, that month's management fee for the home is waived.
Tenant Placement Guarantee
Never Pay Twice for a Tenant Who Defaults.
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.

Your first month: the leasing fee (one month's rent) and a $500 reserve come out of the first rent we collect, and the second month's rent if needed, so your first payout usually arrives in month two. You can also fund the reserve up front.
Get your free rental analysisThe comparison figures are editable examples, not quotes from any specific company — actual costs vary. Our numbers use our published pricing: a leasing fee of one month's rent when a lease is signed and $99/month management per occupied home, with nothing charged for any month the home is empty and no rent is owed, plus our 15% repair coordination charge on the repairs you enter. Both sides pay the same repair costs, so only the coordination fee or markup is counted. Year-one totals don't include our $250 lease renewal, which applies when a lease is renewed. We also keep late fees paid by tenants. See every fee we charge.
