Our Seven Guarantees

Rent Payment Guarantee

If the tenant doesn’t pay their rent as agreed, you don’t pay us our management fee. We are only paid when you are.

If you can find a lower fee to manage your property in writing, we will match it. As long as the other firm is a licensed property management firm and does not charge fees in addition to their base management fee percentage.

If we don’t mail or wire your monthly proceeds within 10 business days of receipt of the rent, we will waive that month’s management fee.

If an owner calls, texts, or emails us, we will respond within 48 hours, or we credit $25 towards the month’s management fee.

For newly onboard clients, if you are not satisfied with our service, you can cancel our contract at any time within the first 60 days of service.
If the tenant is placed, the owner needs to reimburse the company tenant placement fee of one month rent.

If we place a tenant in your property and have to later evict, we will cover up to $1000 of the costs of an eviction presided over by a judge.
This guarantee can be availed by enrolling in our Owner Benefit Package (OBP).

If we place a tenant in your property and have to later evict for nonpayment of rent, we will write a check for the next 30 days worth of rent.
This guarantee can be availed by enrolling in our Owner Benefit Package (OBP).

Stanwood Area Information

Stanwood at a Glance

Stanwood is a peaceful, growing community located in northwest Snohomish County near the scenic shores of Puget Sound. It offers a small-town feel with easy access to I-5, making it a top choice for families, commuters, and retirees alike.

Stanwood combines rural charm with modern amenities, and its proximity to Camano Island, Mount Vernon, and Arlington makes it a strategic rental market for those seeking affordability and space.
