How pricing works

Start by understanding every fee category in the arrangement.

Property-management pricing varies by company, property, market, and service package. This site is designed to help owners anywhere in the United States understand the categories, annualize the major charges, and compare arrangements on a consistent basis.

Beyond the management fee

The largest ownership costs may not appear on the fee schedule.

Vacancy, unrealistic rental pricing, avoidable turnover, slow maintenance decisions, weak follow-up, or delays with an association approval can have a greater financial effect than a small difference in management percentage.

Those are not management fees. They are operating outcomes that belong in a broader comparison of value and owner cost.
