Full-Service Leasing and Property Management
Koss Manages it All for Seattle-Area Landlords

Most experienced residential rental property owners use professional property managers. Why? Because smart landlords know a full-service property management company is the key to making money on their real estate investment.

Unfortunately, most first-time rental property owners lack the wisdom of experience, hoping to save a buck by doing everything themselves. What they soon realize is that their time is money, and every hour they spend placing ads, showing properties, screening tenants, collecting rent and overseeing repairs cuts into their profits.

At Koss Property Management, our goal is to make managing your rental property a worry-free and profitable experience for you. As a full-service property management firm, we’ll take care of every aspect of leasing and managing your single family home, condominium or apartment complex. Most of our services fall within the following categories.

Leasing

We make our living knowing the Seattle-area rental marketplace. We know the best methods to reach the tenants you’re looking for and the best prices to charge for your rental property. We’ll then show the properties to prospective renters and select the right tenants to help increase your profits while decreasing turnover. We can negotiate leases to reach the terms that you’re looking for.

Financial

Maintaining accurate records is key to making your real estate investment profitable. We'll handle all the financial aspects of maintaining your rental property, from collecting rent to paying bills. Every month we'll send you a check with a statement of your account. All income and expenses are clearly stated. We provide itemized monthly and annual account statements.

Maintenance

It's our job to ensure that your residential rental property stays in top condition, so we'll make periodic visits to check that everything's in good order. We answer our phones 24 hours a day (weekends and holidays included) to ensure that emergencies are handled quickly, and we supervise all repairs to verify they're made correctly.

Leasing and Management Fees

The leasing fee is a full month’s rent to acquire a tenant for one year. Management fees are based on a variety of factors including number of units, rent roll, location, deferred maintenance, etc. Fees vary from 8%-10% of the gross rent collected.

Having full-time professional management of your rental property leaves you free to focus on what you want to do. Eliminate the hassle of working as a landlord and enjoy more time with your family, travel or working at what you do best.

Consulting Services for Landlords

If you’re a landlord needing help to get a better return on your profit, our consulting services may be just what you’re looking for. We can conduct an appraisal of your current rental property value to determine if you’re charging enough. Or take advantage of our lease-only programs, where we’ll market your property and locate the tenants, but you handle everything else.

We also provide market analysis for investor and mortgage institutions as well.

All of our consulting services are all provided on a fee basis.

Rental Property Management in Seattle
and Beyond

While most of the rental properties we represent are located in Seattle, we also serve Shoreline, Mill Creek, Kenmore and some Eastside areas as well, including Bellevue, Medina and Kirkland. We handle properties in these areas on a case-by-case basis. If your property is not in our area, we'll be happy to refer you to a qualified management company that can help you. As a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), we have access to a nationwide network of property managers.
