These residential properties are either owned by investors, investment funds, absentee owners, or owners with second homes. The properties can be either single family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and multi-families. Now we will detail how much do these Miami Property Management Services Cost.

The Flat Rate Fee for Miami Property Management Services

This is the least common method used by property managers. The fee can range from $90 – $125 dollars per unit. Some companies offer a discount if you own multiple properties. This type of fee is more beneficial to owners. With the Hot Rental Market the way it is, the rent value will increase but the management fee stays the same which results in lower cost to the owner. Companies that use this method tend to manage large amounts of properties and have discovered ways to cut cost while offering a higher quality of service.

Be aware that cheaper may have hidden cost. Make sure that you ask for a price list and make sure you know what are all the fees before signing a property management agreement.

Commission Based Fee or Percentage Fee

This is the most widely used method of charging property management fees in Miami. The percentage usually charged range between 8% – 10%. Most management fees will start at 10% and depending on the quantity of properties being managed the percentage can go down. This method is more beneficial to the management companies as rental values go up the more the company earns.

For example:

Property XYZ is rented for $1,500 X 10% = $150.00 is the management fee

The commission based fee will fluctuate with the current rent. Again be aware if the management company have any other hidden fees before signing a property management agreement.

Leasing Fee for Tenant Placement

This fee is usually the same for all Miami property management companies. The fee charged is equal to one months rent. In other words if the rent being charged is $1,500 than the leasing fee will be $1,500. This does not mean that the management company or property manager will earn the entire $1,500. The listing fee may have to split the commission with another real estate agent if two agents are involved in the transaction.
