Property Management for Rental Owners in South Puget Sound
Owners come to us from very different places: a PCS move, a first investment property, a listing that turned into a rental, a board that needs a manager. RPM Today manages rentals across Pierce, South King, Thurston and Kitsap counties from our office in downtown Puyallup.
PCS orders, an inherited house, a tenth rental or an HOA budget: one downtown Puyallup team handles all of it.
The Owners We Work With
Most of the homes we manage are single-family houses, townhomes and condos. We also manage small multifamily buildings and community associations, and we buy property management companies from owners ready to step back.
Homeowners Turned Landlords
Not many people plan on becoming landlords. A job moved you, a family house came to you, or the numbers said rent instead of sell. Lease-only finds, screens and signs a qualified tenant, and you take it from there. Full management also handles rent, repairs, inspections and renewals. Either way, Washington’s rent cap and 90-day increase notice apply to most rented houses, not just apartments.
Real Estate Investors
We like ’em in bulk. One rental or twenty, you get the same system: rent priced to the local market, credit and criminal checks on every adult applicant, and statements, maintenance and inspections in your owner portal.

Military Families and JBLM Owners
When duty calls, let us help you. PCS orders rarely line up with a good time to sell. Renting lets you keep the house, and the equity, while you serve somewhere else. We price to BAH, write leases with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act in mind, and time listings to the PCS calendar. Wherever you are stationed, the owner portal keeps you current.
Real Estate Agents
We manage it, you sell it. When a client decides to rent instead of sell, we manage the home and flag it with your name, so the listing comes back to you when they are ready. We pay a referral fee for every client you refer who signs a management agreement. Managing a few rentals yourself? We can take those over so you can get back to selling.
HOA Boards
Board members have day jobs. We take the day-to-day off a volunteer board’s plate: dues collection and delinquency follow-up, budgets and financial reports, common-area maintenance and vendor contracts, violation notices, and support for meetings and newsletters.
Property Management Companies
Thinking about selling? If you own a Washington property management company and are planning for retirement or a change, we are actively acquiring. It starts with a conversation about your goals, then due diligence and a written offer, with the handover planned around your staff and clients.
Not Sure Which One You Are?
Plenty of owners are two of these at once: a service member who never planned to be a landlord, an agent with a rental of their own, an investor whose first property was the house they moved out of.
The first conversation sorts it out. Call (253) 426-1730 or request a free rental evaluation, and a local manager will tell you what the property should rent for and which service fits how involved you want to be.

Start With What Your Property Should Earn
