    Why are your fees higher than some other property managers?

    Compare the whole bill, not the headline rate. Some managers advertise a low percentage and make it back in fees you only see on your statement. We publish every fee we charge, plan by plan, so you can see what a full year costs before you sign.

    Where we do cost more, here is what it pays for:

    • No surprise fees. Our leasing fee is a flat amount, not a percentage of the first month's rent, and our repair markup is 7% of each vendor invoice, capped at $70 per work order.
    • Vendors picked for you, not for us. We don't own a maintenance company, so vendors are chosen for price and quality, not to keep work in-house.
    • Staying on the right side of Colorado law. Colorado's rental laws changed a great deal from 2024 through 2026, and keeping up takes trained staff. One mistake in screening, a notice or a repair deadline usually costs an owner far more than the difference in fees.

    The fair test: ask any manager you are considering for every fee in writing, then set it next to our table.
