The flat fee, in plain terms
BayTown's management fee is $149 per month, flat, whatever the rent. It is never a percentage of rent and it is taken only from rent collected. A vacant property pays no management fee.
There is no long-term contract. If you leave, your files, keys and the tenant relationship are handed over cleanly. Leasing and renewals are separate one-time fees; Emily explains both in the free quote and puts every fee in writing.
The monthly fee covers tenant relations; rent collection with a statement every month; maintenance and repair coordination; scheduled inspections; monthly reporting and a 24/7 owner portal; and market analysis. Request your free quote to review the scope and the numbers for your property.
How percentage pricing compares
A percentage fee is tied to rent, so the dollar amount changes whenever rent changes. BayTown's $149 is flat whatever the rent, and it is charged only from rent collected, so a vacant property pays nothing.
Percentage pricing is not the only alternative, so ask any manager how vacancy, leasing and renewals affect the total, and get the whole fee picture in writing before you choose.
