❓ Why Do We Need Your Property Address for a Management Quote?
We believe in transparent, accurate pricing. Unlike some companies that provide a non-committal flat rate, we require your property's address because our service is highly nuanced and management fees are never one-size-fits-all.
Providing the address is non-obligatory; it simply allows us to deliver the most honest and accurate quote possible.
1. The Two Primary Pricing Factors
Your address allows us to quickly assess the two factors that influence management effort and pricing the most:
-
Property Condition: Our experience allows us to gauge likely property maintenance needs and required initial preparation.
-
Rent Level: The rental price dictates the liability and necessary staff time associated with collecting and administering funds.
2. Complexity & Operational Risk
Several factors tied to the property's location and status increase operational complexity, which is reflected in the quote:
-
Location & Logistics: Homes located near our main travel corridors often qualify for slightly better rates due to reduced overhead. Conversely, distance challenges in some areas (a persistent issue since COVID) can impact efficiency and logistics.
-
Jurisdiction Requirements: Some counties and municipalities impose difficult or inconsistent landlord requirements that increase our administrative and legal risk, which must be factored into the price.
-
Specialized Programs: Properties enrolled in subsidized programs like Section 8 often involve more administrative work—including additional paperwork, inspections, and detailed accounting—regardless of the rent amount.
-
Existing Residents: While we do not charge a placement fee to onboard an existing resident, the process of transitioning an occupied home is one of the more complex administrative tasks we face.
3. Our Long-Term Philosophy
We aim to build long-term relationships, ideally keeping every account for five or more years.
-
Our pricing model favors owners who share this long-term investment mindset.
-
With over 20 years of combined experience, providing your address allows us to use market data to quickly gauge your property’s likely needs and set a fair, long-lasting management fee.
Finalizing the Quote: We may occasionally require an in-person visit to finalize the pricing. Both you and MoveZen retain the right to cancel the agreement with no penalty after our first inspection, ensuring it remains a mutual, no-obligation fit.
