Local Property Management Experience Since 1997
Founded in 1997 and led by broker and property manager Karen Joyal, our locally operated company helps rental-property owners protect their investments and reduce the day-to-day demands of ownership. We specialize in long-term residential property management and take a practical, hands-on approach rather than treating every property as part of a high-volume, one-size-fits-all portfolio.
Our work includes rental pricing recommendations, property advertising, showing coordination, applicant screening, lease preparation, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, lease enforcement, renewals, owner accounting, HOA coordination and move-out administration.
Straightforward Tampa Property Management Fees
Owners should compare the complete cost of property management—not simply the advertised monthly percentage. Our core fee structure is designed to be clear and easy to understand.
10%
of rent collected when the property is occupied
40%
of one month's rent
$80
per completed renewal
None
no percentage added to vendor invoices

Tampa Bay Communities We Serve
Tampa Bay is not one uniform rental market. Rental demand, property characteristics, HOA requirements and tenant expectations vary between communities. Our primary service area includes Tampa, Carrollwood, Northdale, Westchase, Lutz, Odessa, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel and surrounding Hillsborough and Pasco County communities.
Specialized Management for Single-Family Rental Homes
Individually owned rental homes require a different management approach than large apartment communities. Owners may need help coordinating lawn or pool responsibilities, HOA requirements, septic systems, HVAC service, appliance issues, property-specific maintenance and detailed move-in and move-out documentation. Our residential specialization keeps those property-level details at the center of the management process.
Property Management for Out-of-State Owners
Owning a Tampa rental property while living outside Florida makes dependable local representation especially important. We serve as the owner's local point of contact for tenants, vendors and property-related matters while providing online access to statements and property information. We coordinate tenant communication, rent collection, repairs, inspections, HOA matters, lease renewals, move-ins and move-outs while keeping the owner informed.
What Should You Look for in a Tampa Property Manager?
When comparing Tampa property-management companies, ask how long the company has worked in the local market, who will actually manage your property, how tenants are screened, how maintenance is approved and documented, whether vendor invoices are marked up, what the complete leasing and renewal fees are, and how owners access financial information.
The best fit depends on the owner's property type, priorities and desired level of involvement. Clear communication, careful documentation, transparent fees and genuine local experience should be central to the decision.
