When you add up all the little fees, markups, and letting charges, "low percentages" are often just a mirage. We've built our pricing model to be as transparent and predictable as possible.

Special Rates for Newer Homes

If your house, townhouse, or apartment had its Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) issued in 2019 or later, we manage it for a flat 6% fee.

Stop paying old house money and maximise your returns.

Switching is Simple (And Free)

We know that moving your property away from your current manager can feel like a bit awkward, so we take care of those conversations. We'll handle the paperwork with the old manager and waive any on-boarding fees!

Our 90-Day Risk-Free Guarantee

We want you to feel completely confident making the switch. If you switch to First Door and arenโ€™t happy with our service within the first 90 days, we will refund all management fees paid and coordinate your transition to a new management company of your choice. No questions asked.

Why We Cost Less

We ditched the expensive office and run our own software so you can stop paying for our rent and start getting better service for less.

When you use a franchise, a chunk of your fee goes toward paying for their expensive offices, their brand name, and bloated software. With First Door, you aren't paying for a name. You're just paying for honest property management. That's why our prices stay low and our service stays personal.
