Tacoma & South Sound Property Management Pricing
Owning a rental in the South Sound should create income — not constant interruptions. The hardest part isn’t collecting rent. It’s staying compliant with Washington regulations, reducing vacancy, coordinating maintenance quickly, and having documentation in place when something goes wrong. Our pricing is straightforward and disclosed upfront. Every fee is outlined in writing before you sign so you know exactly what to expect.
Upfront fees. Clearly defined service levels. Every cost disclosed before you sign — so you always know what to expect.
How Our Pricing Works at RPM Today
We price management the same way we manage rentals: clearly, consistently, and with structure. Your monthly fee is a percentage of rent collected, which keeps pricing tied to performance and aligned around what matters most — stable occupancy, qualified tenants, and fewer disruptions. Each plan represents a different level of service and oversight, not just a different list of features, so you can choose how much coverage and administrative work you want handled for you. And because property management often comes with unclear add-ons, you’ll see the full fee structure upfront, in writing, before you sign.

Not sure which plan fits your property? We’ll recommend the right level based on your goals, risk tolerance, and the condition of your rental.
Get the Right Fit — Not Just the Highest Package
Most owners don’t need the most expensive plan. They need the right level of oversight. A newer home in a stable neighborhood requires a different level of involvement than an older property with higher maintenance needs. A local owner has different concerns than someone managing from out of state.
We’ll review your property, estimate market rent, and walk through which package makes the most operational and financial sense for your situation.
Built for Different Types of Rental Owners
No two owners manage rentals the same way. Some want maximum hands-off protection. Others want strong systems while staying more involved.
If you’re not sure where you fit, start here — these are the most common owner profiles we work with in Tacoma and the South Sound:
Accidental Landlord
Hands-Off & Risk-Averse
You didn’t plan to manage tenants, maintenance, and compliance. You simply need your property rented and handled correctly. We coordinate repairs, manage communication, and ensure leases and notices align with Washington requirements. Many owners in this position choose Gold or Platinum for additional structure and fewer administrative surprises.
Growing Investor
Performance & Efficiency Focused
Vacancy, poor screening, and inconsistent maintenance don’t just cause headaches — they reduce returns. Our process is designed to keep units rented, documentation organized, and decisions made quickly so you can scale without operational drag. Gold is often the balanced starting point.
Out-of-Area Owner
Visibility & Oversight
When you can’t physically check on the property, visibility matters. Routine reviews, documented condition reporting, and clear communication replace guesswork. Platinum is frequently selected by long-distance owners who want maximum oversight and simplified administration.
What’s Included in Your Management Fee
You’re not paying for tasks. You’re paying for a system that keeps your rental stable and defensible.
With RPM Today, that includes:
Compliance, screening, and documentation handled in a structured way that protects you under Washington requirements.
Coordinated maintenance and rent positioning designed to keep occupancy steady and issues addressed quickly.
Clear financial reporting and owner visibility so you always know where your property stands.
When something goes wrong — late payments, disputes, or unexpected repairs — it’s handled correctly and documented. That’s the difference between basic management and professional oversight.
Common Questions From Rental Owners
If you’re comparing property managers, you should expect clear answers. These are the questions we hear most often from owners evaluating pricing, coverage, and how management works in practice.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. All pricing, fees, and optional protections are disclosed in writing before you sign. You won’t receive unexplained or surprise charges.
What does “percentage of rent collected” mean?
Your management fee is calculated based on rent actually collected — not scheduled rent. If rent isn’t collected, you’re not paying a fee on unpaid income.
What happens if a tenant stops paying?
We follow a structured legal process consistent with Washington requirements, including proper notices, timelines, and documentation. If you’re enrolled in Steady Eviction Protection or the Owner Benefit Package, qualifying eviction-related costs may be covered. Full details are reviewed during consultation.
How are maintenance expenses approved?
We coordinate repairs through vetted vendors and establish approval thresholds during onboarding. You remain informed without being pulled into every minor issue.
Will you recommend a plan for me?
Yes. We’ll review your property, location, condition, and ownership goals and recommend the package that fits — not simply the highest tier.
What does eviction protection include?
Coverage varies by package and is designed to reduce exposure to certain eviction-related legal fees and costs for qualified tenants placed by us. Specific terms and eligibility are explained before enrollment.
