Solve your Property Headaches with our Full Service Management Pricing

What Your Monthly Management Fee Covers

Green Ocean's full-service management pricing is designed to be simple. Instead of a long menu of add-ons, the plan above bundles the day-to-day work of managing a rental into one flat monthly fee of $159. The sections below explain what each part of the plan means in practice, so you know what to expect before you sign anything.

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.

Discounts and Extras Worth Knowing About

Several programs can add value on top of the base plan:

• Military Discount and Elderly Discount: we waive the $300 Tenant Realtor Commission and offer a 10% discount on full cleaning services.
• Multifamily Discount: ask us how it applies to buildings with more than one unit.
• Citizen Home Solutions: connecting your utilities is free of charge, so electric, water, gas, and sewer are ready when a new lease begins.
• Complimentary Home Inspection: when you sign the agreement, we make sure the property is ready to schedule for showings.

You can read more about each benefit on our Our Guarantees page. New landlord clients should also look at the Green Ocean Welcome Suite and guarantees described on the For Landlords and Investors page, including the Guaranteed Tenant promise, the 45-Day Switch Guarantee, and the 1-Hour Emergency Response Guarantee. Terms can change, so please confirm current details there or with our team.

Why a Flat Fee?

Many management companies charge a percentage of the monthly rent, which means your cost rises whenever the rent does, even though the work stays about the same. A flat fee keeps your costs predictable and lets you plan your returns with confidence. If you want to compare approaches in more detail, our guides on flat fees versus percentage fees and what property management costs in Boston walk through the math. When you compare any two quotes, check what is included, whether there are separate fees for leasing, renewals, or set-up, and how quickly the manager promises to respond.

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.
