OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
The GPS Renting 9-Point Performance Guarantee
We don’t just manage your property; we define exactly what we commit to. Every commitment is backed by clearly defined GPS fee waivers, service credits, and included services.
Rent Payment Guarantee
We align our success with yours. If your tenant doesn’t pay rent, we don’t collect our management fee. We are only paid when you are.
Prompt Disbursement Guarantee
Cash flow is the lifeblood of real estate. If we don’t mail or wire your monthly proceeds within 10 business days of receiving rent, we waive that month’s management fee.
2-Business-Day Response Guarantee
Communication is our priority. If we do not respond to your call, text, or email within 2 business days, we will apply a $25 credit toward your next month’s management fee.
60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
We want to earn your trust, not lock you in. If you’re a new client and not satisfied within the first 60 days, you can walk away with no cancellation penalty. (Standard placement fee applies if a tenant has been placed.)
Price Match Guarantee
We’re confident in our value. If you find a lower base management fee from another licensed property management firm with no hidden fees, share it in writing and we’ll match it.
Showing & Vacancy Support Guarantee
We use advanced self-showing technology with ID verification. In the rare event of a qualifying showing-related issue, GPS applies up to $500 in service credits.
Tenant Placement Guarantee
We stand behind every tenant we place. If a tenant we screened and approved defaults on rent, GPS will find a new tenant at no cost and waive a full year of management fees. Our screening. Our accountability. You get meaningful relief when it matters most.
Eviction Management Guarantee
If a tenant we placed requires eviction, that’s a placement failure — and we own it. GPS waives management fees during the eviction period and coordinates the entire process at no additional cost. Professional and legal fees for the eviction itself remain the owner’s responsibility, but you won’t pay GPS a dime in management fees or coordination charges while it’s resolved.
Pet Screening Guarantee
Pets expand your tenant pool significantly. We use rigorous pet screening to protect you. If a pet we approved causes damage beyond the deposits, GPS waives up to 3 months of management fees to offset repair costs. We stand behind our pet screening process with defined GPS fee relief.

Kent Area Information
Kent at a Glance
Located in South King County, Kent combines residential neighborhoods with the employment centers of the Green River Valley. Its mix of housing, businesses, and outdoor spaces gives rental property owners several distinct local markets to consider.
A Brief History
Kent incorporated in 1890 after developing as an agricultural community. Its name reflects the area’s historic hop-growing connection to Kent County in England. Over time, the city grew into an important center for manufacturing and distribution in the Puget Sound region.
Today’s Kent
Kent continues to plan for new housing, employment, and investment in its neighborhoods. Downtown planning emphasizes better connections, a more walkable environment, and opportunities for housing and local businesses. Kent Station provides Sounder commuter rail service, while the Green River Trail offers access to outdoor recreation.
Real Estate & Rental Market Overview
A useful rental analysis starts with the property and its immediate competition. Home size, condition, parking, outdoor space, and access to transportation can all affect how a Kent rental compares with nearby listings.
