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.

1
ALL PLANS
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.

2
ALL PLANS
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.

3
ALL PLANS
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.

4
ALL PLANS
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.)

5
ALL PLANS
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.

6
ALL PLANS
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.

7
GOLD & PLATINUM
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.

8
GOLD & PLATINUM
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.

9
GOLD & PLATINUM
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.
