We handle the work of renting Your property. You stay in charge.

Renting out a property takes real time and attention. It means getting it in front of the right people, screening applicants carefully, putting together a solid lease, and keeping up with the rules along the way. Some owners are glad to hand all of that to a full-service management company, and that works well for them. Others would rather stay involved and just have help with the parts that take the most time or are the easiest to get wrong. That's who we're here for.

We do the legwork and bring you what you need to make good decisions. You choose how much help you want, you set the terms, and you only pay for the services you use.

Rules change constantly, and that's where most of the risk hides.

The most common problem we see has nothing to do with how careful or experienced an owner is. Landlord-tenant law is detailed, and it changes often enough that it's genuinely hard to keep up with unless it is your full-time focus. A notice that no longer meets the current requirement, or a lease clause that was fine a few years ago but isn't anymore, can become an expensive problem. Staying current on state rules, including Fair Housing, is part of our job so it doesn't have to be yours. We are not attorneys, and when something genuinely calls for one, we will tell you.

What we can help with

Placing a great tenant is our core service. It includes all of this together:

Promoting

We tour the property, take high-quality photos and video, and help you list it where renters are actually looking: Zillow, Zumper, Apartments.com, Realtor.com, our own website, and our network of placement partners.

Tenant screening

We run credit and rental history, a criminal background check, and employment and income verification, then bring you the full picture so you can decide who is approved to move in.

Leases

We prepare and execute the lease around the terms you set, including rent, deposit, and pet policy, written to comply with state landlord-tenant law.

And you can add any of these individually, whenever you need them:

Showings and inspections

We assist with property showings and document condition at move-in and move-out. Available in select Wisconsin areas.

Rent collection

Invoicing, with online payments sent directly to you, and regular reports, so you are not the one chasing payments.

Notices and renewals

Compliant notices, including late fee notices, and lease renewals whenever you need them.

Cleaning and maintenance coordination

If you would rather be more hands-off, we coordinate with your vendors and keep the work on track.

You set the rent, and you give final approval on every tenant. On the other calls that come up, like repairs or whether to renew, we share our honest opinion and then you decide.

Where we work

We work with owners across Wisconsin, including the Fox Valley, Green Bay, Stevens Point, Madison, and Milwaukee, among other communities. We also have clients in other states including Arizona, Florida, and Hawaii.
