Rent Shield
Vacant properties cost you money. Our Rent Shield guarantee ensures your Washington property is rented within 21 days—or we pay the rent until it's occupied.
How It Works: We handle professional tenant screening, aggressive property marketing, and quality tenant placement with a 21-day maximum vacancy guarantee. If we don't meet this deadline, we cover your rent until your property is occupied.
Your Benefits: The Rent Shield guarantee delivers uninterrupted rental income year-round with zero extended vacancy costs. You get quality tenants placed quickly with guaranteed results and no financial risk.
Our proven tenant placement system and deep Washington market expertise mean faster rentals and steady cash flow. With Rent Shield, your property stays rented and your income stays consistent.
Get Paid FAST!
Worried about delayed rental income? Our Get Paid FAST guarantee ensures you receive your rent within 5 business days of collection—or we waive that month's property management fee.
How It Works: We collect rent from tenants and transfer your rental income within 5 business days guaranteed. If we miss this deadline, your management fee is waived for that entire month at no cost to you.
Your Benefits: This rent collection guarantee keeps your cash flow steady and reliable throughout the year. You get predictable rental income timing, protection against payment delays, and proof of our commitment to efficient property management in Washington.
Our streamlined rent collection process and dedicated accounting team ensure your rental income arrives on time, every time. With Get Paid FAST, your financial interests come first.
Maintenance Protection
Up to $500 in coverage for maintenance troubleshooting, plus a price match on comparable repair quotes up to $500.
How It Works: When your property requires maintenance under $500, we provide expert troubleshooting and quality repairs at competitive rates. If you find a lower quote from a licensed contractor for the same scope of work, simply present it to us. We will match that price while maintaining our high service standards and professional oversight.
Your Benefits: This guarantee ensures you receive exceptional value on every small repair without sacrificing quality. You get the best of both worlds: professional workmanship from our vetted vendors and the peace of mind that you are never overpaying for maintenance services on your Washington rental property.
