Rental Property Management Pricing

What Your Monthly Management Fee Covers

The advertised full-service rental management plan is $159 per month. Confirm how the fee applies to your unit or portfolio and request a written list of included services and separate charges before signing. The descriptions below summarize the service categories shown above.

Maintenance and emergency support

Maintenance is where owners usually feel the difference between a good manager and a bad one. Our plan includes a 4-hour email response guarantee, a 24/7 emergency hotline, and real-time maintenance updates so you are never left wondering what is happening at your property. We coordinate repairs through approved vendors, oversee home improvement projects, and work with a staffed general contractor when a job needs more than a quick fix. Property inspections are available upon request, which gives you a way to check on condition without being on site.

Financial management

The financial side of the plan covers the full rent cycle. We manage security deposits, collect rent online, pay property bills, and help with financial budgeting. You receive real-time owner statements and annual tax statements, so your records are ready when you or your accountant need them. If a tenant stops paying, eviction support is part of the service, and we report tenant rent payments to credit bureaus, which gives residents a reason to pay on time.

Marketing and leasing

A vacant unit costs you money every day, so marketing is built into the plan. We start with a rental analysis to help set a competitive rent, then promote the property with professional marketing photos, video marketing including a 3D tour, virtual tours, and shared listings on popular rental websites. Move-in and move-out inspections document the condition of the home at both ends of a tenancy. The plan also lists a renewal and marketing fee, and we are glad to explain exactly how it applies to your property when you request your quote.

Documentation and processing

Behind every rental is a pile of paperwork. Our team handles account set-up and administration, tenant application processing and screening, pet screening, and city inspection and registration compliance. We oversee insurance claims, manage utilities, and give you a designated point of contact who knows your property. You also get access to the owner online portal, where you can follow your account at any time. As with the renewal fee, the plan lists account set-up and administration, so ask us how that item is handled in your quote.

Custom Quotes and Special Situations

Not every property fits a standard plan. If you own several units, a larger building, or a property with unusual needs, you can request a custom quote through the button above. We will review your situation, talk through your goals, and put together a management plan that makes sense for you. You can also ask for a free rental analysis, which is a good first step if you are deciding whether to rent a property or what rent to charge.

Compare the Full Cost of Management

Compare monthly management charges together with leasing, renewal, setup, maintenance, and any other fees. Ask which discounts apply to your property and confirm current offer terms in writing. Our Boston property management cost guide explains questions to ask when comparing quotes.

What Happens After You Request a Quote

Getting started is straightforward. First, you tell us about your property using the quote button, and we follow up to learn about your goals, your timeline, and anything that makes your property unique. Second, we provide a rental analysis so you can see what rent the market supports. Third, if you decide to move forward, you sign the management agreement, and we complete the complimentary home inspection so the property is ready to schedule for showings. From there, your designated point of contact guides the process through marketing, tenant screening, and move-in, and you can follow every step in the owner portal.

Questions to Ask Before You Hire Any Property Manager

Pricing is only one part of the decision, so it helps to go into every conversation with a short list of questions. Ask how quickly the company responds to owners and tenants, and whether that promise is written down. Ask who your day-to-day contact will be and how often you will hear from them. Ask how maintenance is approved and billed, how rent is collected and paid out, and what reports you will receive each month and each year. Ask what happens at renewal, and how the company handles late rent or a difficult tenancy.

Finally, ask what the exit process looks like. A manager who is confident in the service will explain how you can leave if it is not working out. We are happy to answer all of these questions about Green Ocean, and the quote button above is the fastest way to start that conversation.
