FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer full-service management for your property, and there are three fees to consider. The monthly management fee, lease-up fee, and renewal fee. These fees are dependent on the property's specific needs and the expected rental income. To get a specific quote, we’ll need to have a conversation to understand the property and run a rental analysis.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our first step is a conversation to ensure your needs align with our services and answer your questions. Next, we’ll introduce you to your personal property manager, often at the property. This person will be a local, experienced professional ready to take on your home. When you’re ready, the property manager will send out our property management agreement for review and signature. Once all parties sign the PMA, we’ll quickly enter the property into our system. After picking up the keys, the property manager can immediately begin marketing it. We’ll take quality photos, create a video tour, and write marketing materials to highlight the property’s best features to tenants. Alternatively, if you need more time or additional work is required, the property manager can begin coordinating maintenance to get the property rent-ready.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Real Property Associates is a locally owned and managed property management company, and we have been managing Puget Sound properties for 35 years. Our property managers are all licensed real estate agents and have been working in this industry for years, if not decades.
