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.
Honest answers to the percentage-vs-flat questions
Isn't a percentage fee simpler - they only get paid when I do?+
That framing sounds aligned, but it actually penalizes growth: every rent increase raises your fee, and you pay the same percentage whether the month was busy or quiet. Keasy ties cost to the work and value delivered, not to your rent roll, so your incentives and ours stay aligned without taxing your upside.
What if I only need help with a few things?+
That's exactly the point of flat, pay-per-use pricing. Choose only the services you want - 24/7 tenant support, rent monitoring and collection, lease-up, or compliance checks - and skip the rest. There's no 'all or nothing' bundle and no annual contract.
Will I lose service quality going flat-fee?+
No. You still get 24/7 tenant support, rent monitoring and collection, lease-up services, and compliance checks. Keasy was built by landlords, for landlords, so the service depth is the same - only the pricing model and transparency change.
Can I keep my own vendors and contractors?+
Yes. Bring your own vendors or choose from our network of Keasy-certified, licensed, bonded, and insured providers. Either way you get transparent pricing on every service, with no hidden fees or fine print.
How much will I actually save?+
It depends on your rents and how many units you manage, but landlords on Keasy typically save up to 70% versus a percentage-based manager. Get a free savings estimate and we'll run the numbers for your portfolio - usually within one business day.
