What we do

Full service, end to end

One team for every part of running your rental — no coordinating between a leasing agent, a bookkeeper and three contractors.

01

Marketing & Leasing

Professional photos, syndication to Zillow and Apartments.com, showings run by our team. Priced to the market, not to a guess.

02

Tenant Screening

Credit, income and employment verification, rental history, eviction records and criminal background — applied consistently, fair-housing compliant.

03

Rent Collection

Online portal, automatic reminders, late-fee enforcement. Funds deposited to your account on a predictable schedule.

04

Maintenance

Vetted, insured vendors at negotiated pricing. Routine work handled without bothering you; anything over your threshold comes with photos and a quote.

05

Accounting

Monthly income and expense statements, rent roll, and a year-end package your accountant can work from directly.

06

Compliance

Chicago RLTO disclosures, lead paint requirements, building inspections and violation response. Paperwork right before it becomes a problem.

07

Evictions

When a tenancy has to end we serve notices correctly, coordinate with counsel, and manage through turnover — minimizing vacancy and exposure.

08

Turnovers

Documented move-out inspection, deposit reconciliation, unit prep and re-listing. Renewals pushed early to keep good residents.

How it works

Onboarding takes about a week

No long transition, no disruption to your current residents.

01 / 04
1

Free rent analysis

Tell us about the property. We come back with realistic market rent, expected expenses, and what we'd do differently — no cost, no obligation.

2

Walkthrough & agreement

We tour the building, document condition, and put a straightforward management agreement in front of you. Flat, transparent fee.

3

Onboarding

We notify residents, collect leases and deposits, set up the payment portal, and take over vendor relationships. You stop fielding calls immediately.

4

Ongoing management

Rent lands in your account. Statements arrive monthly. You hear from us when a decision is genuinely yours to make — and not otherwise.

Where we work

Concentrated on the South and West sides plus the near western suburbs — close enough to be at your building the same day.

Common questions

What owners ask first

What do you charge?

A flat percentage of collected rent, plus a one-time leasing fee when we place a resident. The percentage depends on unit count and property condition. Quoted in writing before you sign, and we don't mark up maintenance invoices.

How small a property will you take on?

From a single unit up to thirty. Small multifamily is our specialty — two-flats, three-flats and courtyard buildings are exactly what we're built for.

How quickly do you fill a vacancy?

Depends on unit, price and season, but a correctly priced and photographed unit in our area typically leases in two to four weeks. We start marketing before the current resident leaves when the lease allows.

When do I get paid?

Owner disbursements go out on a fixed monthly schedule by direct deposit, with your statement for the period. You'll know the date and can see collections in the portal in real time.

Do I approve repairs?

Yes. You set a threshold at onboarding. Routine items below it are handled; anything above comes to you first with photos and a quote. Genuine emergencies affecting safety or habitability are addressed immediately and reported right away.

Can I switch mid-lease?

Usually — depends on the notice period in your current agreement. We handle the transition: lease files, deposit ledgers, keys, and resident notification so nothing falls through.

What if a resident stops paying?

We follow up immediately, document everything, and serve required notices correctly and on time. If the tenancy can't be salvaged we coordinate with counsel through eviction and manage the turnover. Getting the early paperwork right determines how this ends.
