LF Recommendatons for Small Prop Mgt Co. in Seattle, WA

[Ana Marie B.]

Hi BP Fam!  I'm looking for an awesome property manager in the Seattle, WA area that is on the smaller scale for my two properties.  I like to avoid having too many different points of contact. I prefer to email or phone my PM and be able to speak with him/her and not a receptionist or a differ. PM I have no knowledge of.  It comes down to preference. :)

As background, my current Seattle PM is AMAZING....however when I signed the PM Agreement 3 years ago, I was a novice and didn't have a good idea of average PM rates in the Seattle area so I didn't negotiate terms.  I'm paying 8.5% of the monthly rate for starters and a hefty lease renewal fee for stable tenants I have had for the last 3 years.

By comparison, my San Francisco Bay Area PM only charges me 7% per month for a rental in South San Francisco, CA.  Any recommendations would be much appreciated!  I looked on Yelp and primarily saw larger-scale PM businesses.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, we have a pretty killer property manager: Enrique Jevons. He was on the BP podcast and manages 100+ units for us in the Puget Sound. The rate is 8% of collected rents (no lease-up or re-lease fees, no maintenance markup). We are also expanding to the Bay Area later this year! I'll send you a PM.

P.S. Great profile photo.
