The Seattle fee stack
What Seattle landlords actually pay
Seattle is one of the most expensive property-management markets in the country - 8–12% of monthly rent before the add-ons even start. Here's how the typical fee stack breaks down, and where Keasy's flat, pay-per-use model lands instead.
| Fee | Typical Seattle cost | With Keasy | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly management fee | 8–12% of rent | $75/mo single unit · $45/unit for 2+ units | On a $2,500 unit a legacy manager charges $200–$300/mo and it climbs every time rent does. Keasy is a flat $75 (or $45/unit for multifamily). |
| Tenant placement / leasing | 80–100% of one month's rent | $1,250 flat per unit | Seattle leasing fees run 80–100% of a month's rent, so on a $2,500 unit that's $2,000–$2,500. Keasy places a tenant for a flat $1,250. |
| Lease renewal fee | $100–$450 per renewal | $75 flat | Charged again every time a tenant re-signs. Keasy renews a lease for a flat $75. |
| Maintenance markup | 10–20% on every invoice | None - $0 markup | Legacy managers add 10–20% on top of every repair. Keasy adds nothing, so you pay the vendor's actual cost. |
Keasy fees are flat and pay-per-use: $75/mo for a single unit ($45/unit for 2+ units), $1,250 tenant placement, $75 lease renewal, and zero maintenance markup. Seattle ranges based on current market data; median Seattle rent ≈ $2,500/mo.
Why percentage pricing quietly costs you more
A percentage fee charges you more every time your rent goes up - even though managing a $2,000 unit isn't twice the work of a $1,000 one. Keasy charges a flat, predictable fee for the work and value provided, so raising rent grows your cash flow instead of your management bill.
The bigger your rents and your portfolio, the more a percentage fee takes - and the more a flat fee saves. Landlords on Keasy save up to 70% on management costs.
