Choosing a manager

How to choose a property manager in Brampton

Two quotes at the same percentage can differ by thousands over a year. These are the questions that expose the difference before you sign rather than afterwards.

  • ask for the full schedule
  • model the first-year total
  • read the notice period

The first question

Ask for the whole schedule, in writing

Not the percentage: the schedule. Every fee and the event that triggers it, including placement, renewal, inspections, eviction handling, any setup fee and any minimum that applies while a unit sits empty.

Then model the first year with placement included. A provider at 10% charging a full month on placement costs around 18% of rent in year one, which is a very different number to one at 12% with placement included. See the fee ranges.

Then ask about the markup on contractor invoices. A 10% to 20% addition is common and it is invisible in the headline rate, yet on a system replacement it is the largest single charge of the year.

Comparing two quotes

Four questions that separate Brampton managers

  1. The full schedule

    Every fee with its trigger, in writing. Anything not listed should never appear later.

  2. The first-year total

    Percentage plus placement plus renewal, modelled together rather than compared separately.

  3. The invoice markup

    Whether one applies, at what rate, and whether it is capped on larger jobs.

  4. The exit

    Notice period, any early termination fee, and whether renewal is automatic.

The clauses to read twice

Where quotes quietly diverge

An automatic renewal clause resets the notice period without anyone mentioning it, so the exit you thought you had may not be there when you reach for it. Read it before signing, not at the point of leaving.

A minimum monthly floor during vacancy overrides the usual basis of charging on rent collected. Some providers apply one, some do not, and the difference matters most in exactly the month you can least afford it.

Finally, ask who actually holds the files. The tenancy record, condition reports and statements belong to the property, and a manager reluctant to say they transfer is answering the question. Compare with our agreement and the record we keep.

Comparing, answered

Brampton choosing a manager questions

The questions that decide between two quotes.

The full fee schedule in writing, listing every fee and the event that triggers it. The headline percentage alone cannot distinguish two providers whose totals differ by thousands.
Model the percentage plus placement plus any renewal fee together. A full month on placement plus 10% ongoing reaches roughly 18% of rent, well above a 12% rate with placement included.
A term that renews the agreement and resets the notice period without a fresh decision. It is common, it is rarely mentioned, and it is worth finding before you want to leave.
Yes, because it overrides charging on rent collected. It applies in exactly the month a unit earns nothing, which is when an unexpected charge is least welcome.
The property does, so they transfer if you change manager. Ask the question directly, because a hesitant answer tells you more than a confident fee quote does.
Yes. It is the single best predictor of response time. A manager carrying two hundred doors cannot answer a maintenance call the way one carrying eighty can.

★★★★★

I interviewed three managers using the questions from their own guide. They were the only one who answered all of them without hedging.

Lena Z.
Brampton
★★★★

They told me which of their competitors would suit a single condo better than they would. That kind of honesty made the decision.

Curtis D.
Toronto
★★★★★

The reference owners they gave me actually picked up the phone and had nothing rehearsed to say. That settled it.

Marc M.
Brampton
★★★★★

Contract was four pages in plain language with the termination clause on the first page. I signed the same week.
