Common Questions about the Comparison Charts
Why would you tell me if one of your competitors had a lower rate?
We believe in “transparency” and making the process of comparing property management companies easier, so we help you compare the rates for Progressive Property Management with a number of our competitors. If another company has a lower rate it will be show on the chart. That company may have higher fees and inferior customer service, but no matter what, we will tell you the truth.
How do you determine comparison rates?
Unfortunately, there is no public site where this information is easily obtained. We have used the company’s website, data from the California Bureau of Real Estate, and calls to each property management company to complete our chart. We encourage all of these companies to contact us with corrections if there are any mistakes.
How do I know these comparison rates are accurate?
Every 3 months we call each company included in the comparison chart and confirm their current rates and fees. If the rates have changed, we obtain the new rates and fees, reprogram our systems and retest the rates. Only Progressive Property Management has a variable rate program (the amount you pay as a percentage of the rents collected depends on the type of property we are managing, and the month we expect to collect on your behalf) and all the other companies offer a “fixed” percentage or fee of rents collected.
What companies are included in the comparison rates you provide?
Since there is no independent list or a ranking of market share of property management companies, we selected those companies that represent of good cross section of property management offerings in your area. We used Google and Yelp! to find those companies most aggressive in the management business. There are hundreds of property management companies, and many manage just a few properties, so we attempted to include “larger” property management companies. There may be property management companies not represented in our comparison rating chart that might offer you a lower rate. Use this chart to compare them to these companies.
Why are there such differences in rates and fees?
A property management company can charge any fee (within reason) as long as it is disclosed to you and you agree to it. The Bureau of Real Estate and the State of California does enforce certain limits to fees, but otherwise, every company is free to charge what they deem reasonable for their services. More importantly, some companies charge a lower rate, and make up the difference on fees and leasing charges. No property management company is under any obligation to make you aware of better priced companies or those who provide better customer service. That is your responsibility.
Will you include my current property management company in your comparison chart?
Since there are literally hundreds of property management companies, and our space is limited, we simply cannot include even a small fraction of all the property management companies with their vast array of business models. But use this chart to compare any property management company with Progressive Property Management or our competitors.
