Pricing
One Management Fee. Full Scope. No Add-Ons.
Homestead Charleston operates on a single, all-inclusive pricing model for property management. There are no tiered packages, no ancillary fees, and no surprise charges. If we manage your property, we take responsibility for the entire operation.
Our fee structure is intentionally simple so expectations are clear from the beginning and decision-making is never driven by add-on costs.
Property Management Fee
Homestead Charleston charges a flat 15% monthly management fee.
Why Homestead Charleston Is Different
Most property management companies charge a low headline fee, then layer on leasing fees, renewal fees, administrative fees, and maintenance markups that can double your actual cost. At Homestead Charleston, our 15% management fee is the only fee you pay — period. Every service listed above is included. We built our rental management operation on the same proactive, institutional-grade standards as our estate care model, so your rental property is treated with the same diligence as a primary residence.
This fee covers the full scope of property management services required to operate, maintain, and protect your rental home. There are:
- No Leasing Fees
- No Admin Fees
- No Maintenance Coordination Fees
- No Annual Inspection Fee (at renewal time)
- No Renewal Fees
- No Administrative Charges
We do not itemize basic responsibilities because they are not optional services. They are the job.
We are not incentivized to have vacancies - this puts us aligned with you the Owner
What’s Included
The management fee includes, without exception, all standard property management functions, including but not limited to marketing and leasing, tenant screening and placement, rent collection, resident communication, preventative maintenance oversight, vendor coordination, inspections, financial reporting, owner portal access, and compliance-related coordination.
If a responsibility is reasonably expected of a professional property manager, it is included.
Why We Use a Single-Price Model
Traditional property management pricing often fragments responsibility across a menu of fees. That structure creates confusion, slows execution, and misaligns incentives.
Our single-price model allows us to:
- Act quickly without waiting for fee approvals
- Make decisions based on what is best for the property, not what generates revenue
- Eliminate surprises and billing disputes
- Maintain accountability for outcomes, not line items
This approach creates better results for both owners and residents.
Clear Expectations. Simple Billing.
Owners receive one monthly management charge and clear, consistent reporting. There are no unexpected invoices for routine services and no fine print redefining what is “included.”
If you value simplicity, transparency, and full accountability, our pricing structure is designed for you.
A Note on Fit
This model works best for owners who want a hands-off experience and trust their property manager to manage proactively. If you prefer à la carte services or highly transactional pricing, we may not be the right fit.

The Fiduciary Difference
As Your Charleston Property Manager, We Handle Everything.
MARKETING & LEASING
We evaluate each property, review the rental market, and position the home to attract qualified residents. We manage marketing, inquiries, applications, and lease execution. Leasing and placement are included in All-Inclusive pricing; Traditional pricing includes a leasing and placement fee of 50% of the first month's rent.
TENANT SCREENING & PLACEMENT
We review applicants' credit, background, income, and rental history, then manage the process from application through move-in. Leasing, placement, and onboarding are included in All-Inclusive pricing. Traditional pricing includes the leasing and placement fee and a $300 onboarding fee shown on our pricing page.
RENT COLLECTION & RESIDENT MANAGEMENT
We manage rent collection, resident payment communication, and delinquency follow-up when needed. Routine rent collection and resident communication are part of both management options.
MAINTENANCE & PREVENTATIVE CARE
We focus on preventive care, early issue identification, and documented oversight to protect your property. We coordinate maintenance, oversee vendors, and conduct move-in and move-out inspections. Under Traditional pricing, maintenance invoices carry a 10% markup and the annual inspection fee is $150. Under All-Inclusive pricing, there is no maintenance markup and the annual inspection is included.
FINANCIAL REPORTING & TRANSPARENCY
Owners receive clear, consistent financial visibility at all times. Homestead Charleston provides access to monthly income and expense statements, repair and maintenance documentation, and tax-ready financial records through the owner portal. Reporting is straightforward, accessible, and designed to support informed ownership without unnecessary complexity.
EVICTION PROTECTION
When legal action is necessary, we coordinate the eviction process on the owner's behalf. Eviction coordination is included in All-Inclusive pricing and costs $500 under Traditional pricing. Any coverage of legal expenses or other eviction-related costs is governed by the management agreement.
