Questions owners ask
How much does property management cost on Boston’s North Shore?
Each plan is a percentage of the monthly rent, and every fee is published in full on our fees page, with a calculator for your rent.
What is included in property management?
Every plan covers marketing, showings, tenant screening, rent collection, a 24/7 emergency line, maintenance coordination and financial reporting. Professional adds bill pay and bi-annual inspections. Signature adds landlord protection cover for lost rent, eviction costs and damage.
Which towns do you cover?
45 towns and cities across Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk counties, from Winthrop and Revere in the south to Amesbury and Salisbury in the north.
What happens if a tenant stops paying?
We chase arrears straight away and, if it comes to it, handle the eviction process. On the Signature plan, cover pays up to 10 weeks’ lost rent once an eviction order is granted and up to $5,000 in eviction costs, subject to the policy terms.
What is the difference between a rental report and a rental evaluation?
The rental report is instant: enter your address and see the likely rent from local data. A rental evaluation is a visit from one of our managers, who walks the property and gives you a rent we would be confident listing at.
