What Property Management Costs in Everett
Most Everett property management companies will not quote you a price until you are on a call. Ours is published, and it is the price you pay.
| Fee | Single-family, condo, townhome | Multifamily |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly management | 8.9% of collected rent $235 minimum per unit | 6.9% to 8.9% $185 minimum per unit |
| Leasing and onboarding | 60% of one month’s rent $1,850 minimum | 60% of one month’s rent $1,850 minimum |
| Lease renewal | 25% of one month’s rent $500 minimum | 25% of one month’s rent $500 minimum |
| Setup, tenant already in place | $385 per unit | $200 per unit |
What That Means for Everett Rents
Everett rents run below the Eastside, so for most homes here the monthly minimum is the number that matters. At 8.9%, the percentage only exceeds $235 once rent passes about $2,640 a month. A home renting for $2,200 costs $235 a month to manage. A home renting for $3,000 costs $267.
The same math applies to leasing. Sixty percent of one month’s rent reaches the $1,850 minimum at roughly $3,080, so on most Everett homes the leasing fee is $1,850, paid once when we place a tenant. Renewals are $500 on rents up to $2,000 and 25% of a month above that.
There are no fees beyond the ones in this table. See the full Services and Pricing breakdown.
What SJA Handles for Everett Rental Owners
Marketing and vacancy filling
Professional photography, syndication to Zillow, Trulia, HotPads and the MLS, and pricing set against live Everett comparables rather than a guess. Expert vacant home management in the short time it is empty. Our 30-day lease guarantee means if we cannot place a qualified tenant in 30 days, your first month’s management charge is waived.
Tenant screening
Credit, income, employment, rental history and a nationwide criminal and eviction search on every applicant over 18, applied consistently to meet Fair Housing and Washington screening rules. Applicants are told our criteria up front, which is a legal requirement in Washington and a good filter besides.
Rent collection
Online payment through the tenant portal, automatic late-fee enforcement within what Washington law allows, and owner disbursement on a fixed schedule each month.
Maintenance and repairs
A vetted network of Everett and Snohomish County contractors, 24/7 emergency response, and no markup on the invoices we pass through to you. You set the spend threshold above which we call you first.
Inspections
Move-in and move-out condition reports with photographs, plus periodic interior inspections during tenancy. The move-in report is what protects your deposit claim if it is ever disputed.
Legal compliance
Lease documents current with Chapter 59.18 RCW, correct notice periods, deposit handling inside Washington’s statutory deadlines, and rent-increase notices that meet the 2026 cap. More on the Everett specifics below.
Owner reporting
Monthly statements, year-end 1099s and tax-ready summaries, all in an owner portal you can open at 11pm from another state. A meaningful share of our owners do not live in Washington.
Evictions
Rare, because screening is where the work happens. If one is unavoidable, we guide you through the process at no extra charge and waive your management charges for the duration. (Single-family homes only.)
We’re Committed to Real Results
Real protection. Real value. Real peace of mind.
SJA leads the way in managing single-family and small multi-family homes. Known for results and trusted for our service, we back it all with our exclusive SJA Guarantees.
Happiness Guarantee
Not the right fit?
No worries. If you're not happy within the first 3 months, you can cancel anytime, no strings attached. We’ll even refund your paid monthly management charges.
No Fee Cancellation
Need Out? No Hard Feelings.

You can cancel management anytime, no penalties or charges. We’re here to serve, not to trap you.
Response Time
We Answer.
We’ll respond to your messages within 24 business hours every time. Your questions matter here.
30-Day Lease
Vacancy?
Not on our watch. If we can’t lock in a qualified tenant within 30 days, we’ll waive your first month’s management charge. (Some conditions apply, but we’ll guide you. For new onboarded, vacant properties only.)
Tenant Placement
Tenants That Stay (Or We Pay).
If a tenant we've placed breaks their lease in the first 12 months, we’ll waive the leasing fee to find a replacement. No hassle for you.
Pet Protection
Pets? We’ve Got Your Back.

We screen pets thoroughly. If approved pets cause damage beyond the deposit, we’ll waive up to 4 months of management fees to help cover it. (Excludes service animals per Fair Housing laws.)
Eviction
Evictions at SJA are rare, but we've got you covered.
If eviction becomes necessary, we’ll guide you through the process, at no extra charge, and waive your management charges during that time.
(Single-family homes only.)
Rent Deposit
Your Rent, Right on Time.
We deposit your rent, when paid, into your account by the 15th. Like clockwork.
*Guarantee terms and leasing processes may vary based on property location and applicable local ordinances, including Seattle’s First-in-Time Rule.
What Everett Owners Need to Know About Washington Rental Law
Washington has some of the most owner-specific rental rules in the country, and getting a notice period or a deposit deadline wrong is expensive. Here is what applies to an Everett rental in 2026.
Rent increases. Under Chapter 59.18 RCW, the maximum annual rent increase for covered properties in 2026 is 9.683% unless an exemption applies. Increases require written notice, and the notice period is set by statute rather than by your lease.
Just cause. Washington’s just-cause protections mean you cannot end a month-to-month tenancy simply because the term ran out.
Security deposits. Washington requires a written move-in condition checklist signed by the tenant before a deposit can be withheld for damage at all. Skipping that document forfeits the claim entirely.
Screening disclosures. Your written tenant screening criteria must be given to applicants before they pay a fee, and the fee cannot exceed your actual cost.
We handle all of this as part of management. If you are self-managing in Everett, these four items are where owners most often get caught.

Everett’s rental demand rests on employment rather than on speculation. Boeing, Providence Regional Medical Center, Naval Station Everett and Everett Public Schools anchor a workforce that spans aviation, healthcare, military and trades, and Sounder rail plus I-5 put Seattle within commuting distance at a materially lower purchase price. For owners that combination tends to mean steadier tenancies than a market driven by a single employer or by short-term rentals.
Why Owners Choose SJA Over Other Everett Companies
There are a dozen firms managing rentals in Everett. Four things are worth comparing before you sign anything.
Is the pricing published? If a company will not tell you the fee before a sales call, ask what the leasing fee, renewal fee, setup fee and maintenance markup are, in writing. Ours are on this page.
Can you leave? Many management agreements run twelve months with an early termination fee. Ours can be cancelled at any time with no penalty, and inside the first three months we refund what you paid.
Who actually answers? Ask whether you get a named property manager or a general inbox. Our owners have a named manager, and we commit to a 24-business-hour response in writing.
Do they know Snohomish County specifically? Everett rental law, Everett contractors and Everett rent comparables are not the same as Seattle’s. We manage dozens of Puget Sound cities including Everett, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mukilteo and Lake Stevens.

What Everett Owners Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does property management cost in Everett, WA?
SJA charges 8.9% of collected rent with a $235 monthly minimum for single-family homes, condos and townhomes in Everett, and 6.9% to 8.9% with a $185 minimum for multifamily. Leasing is 60% of one month’s rent ($1,850 minimum) and renewals are 25% ($500 minimum). There is no maintenance markup and no annual admin fee.
Is hiring an Everett property manager worth it?
It depends on what your time and your vacancy risk are worth. A single extra month of vacancy on a $1,946 Everett rental costs more than seven months of management at our minimum, and a tenant placement that fails screening can cost far more than that in turnover and legal exposure.
What is the average rent in Everett, WA?
About $1,946 a month as of June 2026, up 1.7% year over year. Studios and one-bedrooms typically run $1,400 to $1,700, and two to three bedroom homes $1,900 to $2,400, depending on size, condition and location.
How much can I raise rent in Everett in 2026?
Under Chapter 59.18 RCW the maximum annual increase for covered properties in 2026 is 9.683%, unless an exemption applies, and written notice is required.
Does Everett have a just cause eviction ordinance?
No. Everett has not adopted a local just cause eviction ordinance, so rentals in the city follow Washington’s statewide just cause law under RCW 59.18.650.
Do you manage multifamily and small apartment buildings in Everett?
Yes. Multifamily management runs 6.9% to 8.9% per month with a $185 per-unit minimum, and we manage both single-family portfolios and small multifamily buildings across Snohomish County.
What areas near Everett do you cover?
Everett, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, Lake Stevens, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace and Bothell, plus the wider Seattle and Eastside market.
