Property Management Fees in Miami.
More Rent Stays Yours.

On Full Management, the leasing fee is half a month of rent per signed lease. It pays for the work that turns an available property into an occupied one: setting the asking rent, professional photos, rental syndication to Zillow and Apartments.com, showings, screening and the lease itself.

Our Leasing Only plan is 1 month of rent. It suits owners who want us to find and place the tenant, then take over daily management themselves. Both plans include CRS tenant screening under a written fair housing policy. The difference is who runs the property after the lease is signed.

The monthly rate cannot tell you whether a manager can actually lease your home. The photos must get a response. The showing has to happen. Someone needs to answer the prospect’s questions and move a qualified applicant through the process. Joseph describes the work behind that result:

Full Management carries 9% overhead on vendor costs. That covers the work around the repair: taking the report, gathering 3 or more vendor quotes, negotiating the price down, arranging the vendor, following the job and keeping its documentation together. On average, that negotiation brings the price about 30% below the average of the initial quotes. The original vendor invoice sits in your owner portal next to the charge. The 9% pays for that effort, to support your investment, with no guaranteed saving on an individual repair.

For homes and condos, you approve repairs over $500. Before and after photos document the work. You should be able to see what the vendor found, what was done and what you paid, without chasing someone for the paperwork.

For context, Florida Estate’s management cost guide lists typical vendor invoice markups of 10% to 20%. Our Full Management overhead sits below that published range. It is a coordination charge, not a substitute for choosing a competent vendor or checking the job.

Harold Washington, our Head of Maintenance, puts vendor selection in practical terms:

In Brickell and Downtown Miami, a signed lease may still need association approval before the tenant can move in. We prepare the association application packet as part of the leasing work. The move depends on the building’s approval process as well as the lease, so those dates need to be considered together.

A condo in Miami Beach or Aventura deserves that same attention to building requirements. Getting the tenant approved and ready to move is part of the placement, not something to discover after you have agreed on a start date. Building access and the association’s process matter to repair coordination too.

A home in Coral Gables puts more of the exterior directly under the owner’s control. A roof or an exterior repair needs a clear scope, an appropriate vendor and your approval at the agreed threshold. In Fort Lauderdale, we bring the same invoice visibility and approval process across the county line.

The useful distinction is the work the property requires. A tower’s association packet and a home’s exterior repair are different tasks. Both need someone accountable for moving them forward and recording the result. That is what the fee should buy, wherever the rental sits.
