Property Manager Cost Comparison

See roughly what a property manager's management fee costs a year, plus GST, against a flat RentGuide subscription.

Most property managers also charge extra on top of this, letting fees, inspections, admin, that sort of thing. It varies a lot by manager, often a few hundred dollars a year per property, so it's not included in the figures below.

Estimate only, based on the management fee entered plus GST. Typical NZ property management fees run 6-12% of rent. RentGuide is a flat monthly fee whether you have one property or ten, it doesn't do the on-the-ground work of a property manager (viewings, dealing with a difficult tenant in person, managing trades), just the paperwork side.
