Fees & Pricing

Transparent Fees, Built for Performance

Our pricing structure is designed to be clear, competitive, and aligned with the level of service we provide. Whether you own a single property or a growing portfolio, we offer structured management solutions built for performance.

Management Pricing

One full-service plan. Two ways to pay.

Every property we manage gets the same full-service management. The only choice is whether you prepay for the year or pay as rent comes in.

Paid Monthly

Management billed as rent is collected

10% of monthly rent

No up-front commitment. Charged only on rent actually collected, so a vacant unit accrues no management fee.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about fees

Only how you pay. It's the same full-service management either way — the same leasing, maintenance coordination, inspections, reporting, and support. Pay 8% for the year up front, or 10% billed monthly as rent is collected. Nothing is withheld from the monthly option.

On the monthly plan, no — the 10% is charged as a percentage of rent actually collected, so a vacant unit generates no management fee. The prepaid annual plan is paid up front for the term.

Maintenance and repair invoices carry a markup of 10–20%, covering vendor sourcing, scheduling, quality check, and invoice handling. The vendor invoice and the markup appear as separate line items on your monthly statement, so you can always see what the work itself cost.

Onboarding runs from $0 to $150, depending on the property and how much transition work is involved — many straightforward onboardings carry no fee at all. It covers account setup, resident notification, lease and deposit transfer from your prior manager, and the initial property walkthrough. There is never a cost to request a proposal.
