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. (If GPS Renting has already placed a tenant, the owner reimburses an amount equal to one month’s rent, as specified in the management agreement.)
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.

Lake Forest Park Area Information
Lake Forest Park at a Glance
At the northern tip of Lake Washington, Lake Forest Park is known for its wooded residential streets and access to the Burke-Gilman Trail. It borders Seattle, Shoreline, and Kenmore, giving residents a quieter setting with connections to nearby communities.
A Brief History
Lake Forest Park began taking shape when Ole Hanson platted its first lots around 1910. The community incorporated in 1961 and has retained much of the green landscape and winding-road character described in its early history.
Today’s Lake Forest Park
Lake Forest Park had an estimated 13,191 residents in 2025. Its neighborhoods, parks, trail access, and location near Seattle and Kenmore offer residents a distinct residential setting within the region.
Real Estate & Rental Market Overview
Recent sale and asking-rent figures show why Lake Forest Park properties need individual pricing. The figures below cover different property types and should be used as market context, not as a valuation for a specific rental home.
Home Price Trends
- 2025: The median sale price for the three months ending August was approximately $1.04 million, calculated from Redfin’s reported 2026 price and year-over-year change.
- 2026: The median sale price for the same three-month period was approximately $1.15 million, up 11% from 2025. These figures include all home types.
Rental Rate Trends
- Jan–Sep 2025: Zillow’s monthly asking-rent figures averaged approximately $2,927 per month.
- Jan–Sep 2026: The same monthly figures averaged approximately $2,831 per month, down 3.3% from the comparable 2025 period. These averages include all bedroom counts and property types; a home’s asking rent should be based on similar rentals.
Key Economic Drivers
- Access to Seattle, Shoreline, and Kenmore via the SR 522 corridor.
- Wooded neighborhoods and proximity to Lake Washington.
- Parks and the Burke-Gilman Trail.
- Local schools within the Shoreline School District.
Vacancy & Property Performance
- Vacancy: A verified annual vacancy rate for Lake Forest Park alone was not available. For regional context, King County rental vacancy was 4.7% in 2022, 7.0% in 2023, and 5.7% in 2024. These are countywide figures, not Lake Forest Park rates.
- Cap Rates: A reliable citywide cap rate was not available. A property’s cap rate should be calculated from its own operating income and purchase price rather than assumed from a regional estimate.
