If you're considering hiring a property management company for your multifamily or commercial property, one of the first questions you're likely asking is, "What will this cost me?" At Coastline Equity, we specialize in managing multifamily and commercial real estate.
Transparency is at the core of our business, and we want you to understand exactly how our fees work. This comprehensive guide breaks down our pricing structure, so you know precisely what to expect.
Management fees are the core charges for the day-to-day management of your property. This includes tasks like rent collection, tenant communication, regular inspections, financial reporting, and handling maintenance requests.
Our management fees for residential multifamily properties are structured based on the number of units. Generally, the percentage decreases as the number of units increases. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Number of Units | Monthly Minimum Fee | Management Fee Percentage |
---|---|---|
8 - 15 Units | $725 - $1,250 | 7.90% |
16 - 24 Units | $1,325 - $1,825 | 6.90% |
25 - 50 Units | $1,875 - $3,125 | 5.90% |
51 - 60 Units | $3,175 - $3,625 | 4.90% |
61+ Units | $3,675 and up | 4.75% |
For commercial properties, our management fees are also structured based on the number of units or spaces. The percentage decreases as the property's revenue increases.
Number of Units | Monthly Minimum Fee | Management Fee Percentage |
---|---|---|
1 - 5 Units | $400 - $900 | 5.00% |
6 - 15 Units | $1,000 - $1,850 | 5.00% |
16+ Units | $1,900 and up | 4.00% |
These fees cover the cost of marketing your property, showing it to prospective tenants, screening applicants, and preparing lease agreements.
If you have an outside leasing agent that you have selected or that we have recommended, we do not charge an additional fee for that work. Our leasing fee is only billed if Coastline Equity is responsible for the leasing and renewal processes.
What This Means for You:
Maintenance fees cover the costs of repairs and upkeep for your property, ensuring it remains in excellent condition and complies with all safety and regulatory standards.
Onboarding fees are initial charges for setting up your account with us. This includes an initial property assessment, setting up accounting systems, tenant communication regarding the management transition, and compliance checks.
At Coastline Equity, we believe in simplicity and transparency. There are no additional potential fees beyond what we've outlined in our property management agreement. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Q: Are there any hidden fees not listed here?
A: No, we have no hidden fees. All our charges are outlined transparently in our property management agreement.
Q: How are maintenance and repair costs handled?
A: We bill our in-house technicians at $115 per hour with no additional mark-ups. For outside vendors, you pay only the vendor's invoice amount.
Q: What if I prefer to use an outside leasing agent?
A: You are free to select your own leasing agent or use one we recommend. We do not charge an additional fee if an outside agent handles the leasing and renewal processes.
Q: What is your process for tenant screening and placement?
A: When we handle leasing, we conduct thorough background checks, credit assessments, and verify employment and rental history to ensure high-quality tenants for every unit.
Q: Do you offer customized service packages?
A: Yes, we tailor our services to meet the unique needs of your multifamily or commercial property.
