As with so many things, the answer is “it depends.” Property management companies vary widely, and much of the answer depends on the scope of the engagement.

Just what do you want a property manager to do for you?

Any arrangement a property owner makes with a property management company is one of delegation. One owner may only want to delegate certain tasks and functions to a property manager, while remaining very ‘hands-on’ in other areas. Another owner may want to take an almost complete ‘hands-off’ approach.

Fees also vary by location, the type of property and the estimated man-hours involved in providing property management services.

As a baseline, expect to pay a typical residential property management company between 8 – 12% of the monthly rental value of the property.

Other fees that could be charged outside of this monthly commission could be an initial setup fee, lease renewal fee, early cancellation of contract, advertising costs, costs for any repair work and evictions (plus any applicable court costs).

Your property, along with photos, will be advertised on our website and in several of the higher traffic websites in the market like Zillow, Lovely, Apartments.com, Trovit, Trulia and Craigslist.

We also thoroughly screen applicants.

A Property Information Sheet will be prepared for your property with all the necessary information.

Stability of employment - this will give you an indication of whether the tenant will be likely to stay for the nominated lease period and whether they will have the funds to pay for it.

Good credit history - ability to pay the rent.

Proof of identity - ex. copy of a drivers license.

Your lease rate is going to be determined by several market factors including the condition of the property, location, and the rental rates for competing homes in the immediate area.

Unfortunately, the markets that dictate lease rates vary vastly from the markets that influence value of properties.

Please contact our office and we can discuss this with you as it relates to your specific property.

Regular inspections of the property are performed by Pacific Home Rental when taking on the rental, midway through a lease term, and when a tenant moves out, or any other time as requested by the owner.
