What you pay, in plain English
Full service management is 8 to 10% of the monthly rent collected. Your rate depends on how many homes we manage for you. The more homes, the lower the percentage.
- No management fee until it’s rented. The monthly fee starts when your tenant pays their first month’s rent. If the home sits empty, you pay no management fee.
- One-time $250 setup fee. It is paid from the tenant’s first month’s rent, so nothing comes out of your pocket up front.
- No leasing fee on your first tenant. For later tenants, the leasing fee is 10% of one month’s rent. That covers marketing on more than 100 sites, showings, screening and the new lease.
- No long-term contract. You can cancel with 30 days’ notice and no termination fee.
What the management fee covers
Everything in the Full Service column above: rent collection, online statements and an annual tax statement, maintenance coordination, 24/7 emergency response, inspections, eviction oversight if it’s ever needed, and our Pet Protection Guarantee of up to $2,500 per approved pet. Repairs are billed separately, and you see every invoice in your investor portal.
Tenant Placement Only
If you want to manage the home yourself and just need a great tenant, our Tenant Placement Only service is 6% of the total rent on the lease. For a 12-month lease at $1,800 a month, that’s $1,296. It covers marketing on more than 100 sites, showings, five-point screening, a South Carolina lease and the move-in inspection. After move-in, you take it from there.
How our pricing compares
Across South Carolina, residential property managers commonly charge 8 to 12% of monthly rent, with 10% the most common rate. Leasing fees for each new tenant typically run from a quarter of a month’s rent up to a full month’s rent, and setup fees run up to several hundred dollars. Our 8 to 10% rate, no leasing fee on your first tenant, a 10% leasing fee after that and a $250 setup fee paid from rent put us at or below the typical range.
Price only matters next to results. That’s why every home is backed by our written guarantees: rented in 3 weeks or a month of management free, a 30-day cancellation with no fee, and pet damage coverage up to $2,500. Read the guarantees.
