Prefer to manage it yourself?

Lease-Only: professional placement, no ongoing management.

Not every owner wants ongoing management. If you are confident handling the day to day and only need help finding a qualified resident, Lease-Only is a single-event service with no ongoing management fee.

From $2,500

Lease-Only

Professional tenant placement for owners who manage their own property day to day. Croskey markets the home, coordinates showings, screens applicants under a documented process, prepares the lease, and completes move-in documentation, then hands the property back to you.

What does the extra $59 actually create?

Property Intelligence converts scattered leases, inspections, work orders, invoices, photographs, and communications into a broker-reviewed decision brief. The owner sees what is known, what is inferred, what is missing, and what deserves action next.

Why maintenance coordination costs money

The vendor fixes the problem. We manage everything around it.

Maintenance coordination is more than forwarding a resident message. The fee compensates Croskey for the research, people, evidence, and follow-through required to move a repair from vague request to documented completion.

The complete explanation

What each separate fee solves.

If a fee cannot be connected to real work and a recognizable owner problem, it should not be on the price sheet.

01New-resident leasing

The owner problem

A vacant property earns nothing, and a rushed placement can cost more than the vacancy. Leasing exists to fill the home with a qualified resident on defensible terms.

What Croskey does

Croskey prepares the listing, markets the home, coordinates showings, screens applications under a documented process, prepares the lease, and completes move-in documentation.

When it is charged

Charged once per new-resident placement. Core: 50% of one month of rent with a $1,300 minimum and $1,750 maximum. Property Intelligence: flat $1,100. Complete Property Stewardship: flat $750.

02Lease Performance and Renewal Review

The owner problem

Renewals decided by habit leave money or risk on the table. Owners need a documented look at rent position, lease terms, and property condition before extending a lease.

What Croskey does

Croskey reviews market rent, payment history, lease terms, and known condition items, then recommends renewal terms and prepares the renewal documents.

When it is charged

Core: $225 per renewal event. Included in Property Intelligence and Complete Property Stewardship.

03Routine maintenance coordination

The owner problem

Repairs fail when the wrong problem is diagnosed, the wrong vendor is sent, or nobody confirms completion. Coordination is the work that prevents that.

What Croskey does

Croskey clarifies the request, checks the property history, dispatches an appropriate vendor, arranges access, reviews the invoice and completion evidence, confirms with the resident, and preserves the outcome in the Property Brain.

When it is charged

Core: $49 per completed routine work order. Included in Property Intelligence and Complete Property Stewardship. If the same unresolved issue reopens within 30 days, Core is not charged another routine coordination fee.

04Special coordination

The owner problem

Some events consume far more coordination time than a routine work order and would otherwise be hidden inside general fees.

What Croskey does

Croskey manages exception events end to end. Examples: home-warranty claims, owner-selected vendors, repeated failed access, repeat diagnosis, and multi-vendor exception work.

When it is charged

Core: $149 per event. Property Intelligence: $99 per event. Complete Property Stewardship: the defined routine scope is included.

05Capital project oversight

The owner problem

Larger projects need scoping, bid comparison, scheduling, and quality control that routine maintenance coordination does not cover.

What Croskey does

Croskey defines the scope with you, collects and compares bids, coordinates the selected contractor, tracks milestones, and documents completion.

When it is charged

Charged on owner-approved capital projects: Core 8%, Property Intelligence 7%, Complete Property Stewardship 5% of project cost, each with a $250 minimum. Large renovations, insurance restoration, litigation support, engineering, and legal work require a separate scope or agreement.

06Occupied property setup

The owner problem

Taking over a property with a resident in place requires verifying the lease, deposits, condition, and communication history before Croskey can manage it responsibly.

What Croskey does

Croskey audits the existing lease and ledger, verifies deposits and required disclosures, documents current condition, and introduces the resident to Croskey systems.

When it is charged

Charged once per occupied takeover: $295 on every plan.

Pricing questions, answered

Know what to expect before you sign.

Is the management fee charged when no rent is collected?

The management fee is calculated on rent actually collected, so the percentage does not apply while no rent is coming in. Plan minimums and how specific vacancy or non-payment situations are handled are defined in the executed property management agreement, which controls final terms.

Why is maintenance coordination a separate fee on Core Peace of Mind?

Core is built so light-use owners keep a low entry cost. Instead of padding the monthly fee for everyone, Core charges $49 per completed routine work order, so you pay for coordination only when work actually happens. Property Intelligence and Complete Property Stewardship include routine coordination for a predictable monthly cost.

Does Croskey mark up routine vendor invoices?

No. In this pricing model the vendor invoice pays the vendor, and Croskey is compensated through disclosed coordination and oversight fees. Croskey does not hide company compensation inside routine vendor invoices.

What is Property Intelligence?

Property Intelligence is the Core service plus a $59 per property per month subscription that adds a living, linked property history, quarterly intelligence updates, a 12 to 36 month maintenance outlook, repair-versus-replace decision packets, a property-specific reserve recommendation, semiannual condition assessments, an included annual renewal review, and included routine work-order coordination.

Are maintenance forecasts or repair recommendations guaranteed?

No. Forecasts are planning tools based on available evidence. They are not inspections, engineering opinions, warranties, appraisals, or guarantees. Owner-facing reports are human-reviewed, and licensed humans remain responsible for owner-facing recommendations.

What is not included in the monthly management fee?

Leasing, the renewal review on Core, routine work-order coordination on Core, special coordination, capital project oversight, occupied property setup, vendor invoices, and other third-party costs are priced separately and disclosed before work begins. Large renovations, insurance restoration, litigation support, engineering, and legal work require a separate scope or agreement.

Which plan is best for a long-term rental owner?

Property Intelligence is the plan Croskey recommends for long-term owners: it includes routine coordination and the renewal review, and it builds the evidence base (property history, outlooks, decision packets) that makes multi-year ownership decisions easier. This is guidance, not a binding recommendation; a property advisor reviews your property before recommending a plan.

A Fit Review, not a hard sell

Choose the level of support that fits your property and your involvement.

We will explain the normal monthly fee, the event fees that could apply, and what is excluded before you make a decision. Croskey works best with owners who value documented maintenance, responsible property condition, fair resident treatment, and long-term decision-making.
