Good property manager in Arlington VA or Alexandria VA?

Question

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a good property manager in Arlington/Alexandria Virginia area. A colleague has a property manger that is charging a lot of extra fees each month.  She wants a PM that will charge a flat 10% without the fees for new leases or extra fees on the cost of repairs.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sounds like you are looking for Cadillac service at Toyota prices. You generally get what you pay for, especially in a service business. If you want discounted pricing in PM you aren’t likely going to find someone who has invested in the best technology, systems, and people. As a PM Brokerage owner I can attest first hand that staff wants to earn a good wage and they want benefits. Software isn’t cheap. What’s important to focus on is what will your financial return be. How good is the PM at screening to get the best tenant and how good are they at retaining tenants long term. These skills will benefit you far more than a discounted fee.

@Nathan Carter We can definitely work with that to provide her with predictable expenditures monthly. Although if we were the ones renting out the unit, that would be a separate unavoidable fee. She would also be able to get in touch with us through our website: PMInova.com

Osim thanks for your response, I will pass on your contact info to her.  To answer your question she is looking for a flat fee of 10% of the monthly rent collected as the total PM fee.  Thanks, Nathan

Hi Patti, thanks for your thoughts.  Although, I think what she is looking for is not that unusual.  I have properties in two different States handled by PMs that charge a 10% flat fee for their services.

Hello Nathan, I am a property manager at PMI Nova and we serve Alexandria. By no extra fees for leasing, do you mean that you’re looking for someone to lease out the property at no extra cost? Would you like to set up a call and see if we can find something that would accommodate your/your colleagues needs? Let me know and I’d be happy to explore your options and answer any questions.

Thank you,

Osim Mann
