Your Property Manager in Redmond, Not Managing Redmond from Somewhere Else
Most companies in this space cover Redmond from Bellevue, Seattle or further. Not SJA Property Management. Our office is at 16398 NE 85th Street Suite 200, Redmond, WA 98052, and it is staffed. When your tenant has a problem at 7 P.M., the person handling it knows which side of Avondale Road they are driving to.
That matters more than it sounds. Rent comparables in Education Hill are not the comparables in Overlake. A vendor who will cross the 520 bridge at short notice is not the same as one who will not. Seventeen years of managing property on this side of Lake Washington is the difference between a rent estimate and a guess.
Enjoy peace of mind with full-service property management in Redmond.
What Property Management Costs in Redmond, WA
Most Redmond property management companies will not give you a price until you are on a call. Ours is published.
| Service | 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 |
Redmond’s average rent is about $3,395 a month, so full-service management on a typical Redmond single-family home runs roughly $302 a month. There is no markup on maintenance invoices, no owner portal fee, no separate inspection charge and no annual admin fee.
For context, the wider market in Redmond charges between 6% and 12%, with tenant placement anywhere from 50% to 100% of a month’s rent. Our leasing fee is 60% and our management fee sits in the lower half of that range.
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.
At an average Redmond rent near $3,395, one unnecessary month of vacancy costs about eleven times a month of our management. That is the gap our guarantees are priced against.
What SJA Handles for Redmond Rental Owners
Marketing and vacancy filling
Professional photography, syndication to Zillow, Trulia, HotPads and the MLS, and pricing set against live Redmond comparables by neighbourhood, because Overlake, Education Hill and Sammamish Valley do not rent alike. Our 30-day lease guarantee means that 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. A meaningful share of Redmond applicants are relocating for work or on visa-sponsored employment, which is routine for us and often unfamiliar to a self-managing owner.
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 Eastside contractors, 24/7 emergency response, and no markup on the invoices we pass through. Our office is in Redmond, so a same-day site visit is a short drive rather than a scheduling problem.
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.)
The Redmond Rental Market in Numbers
| Redmond Market Metric | Current Figure |
|---|---|
| Average rent, all types | About $3,395/month |
| Studio | $2,039 |
| 1 bedroom | $2,300 |
| 2 bedroom | $3,100 |
| 3 bedroom | $3,750 |
| Median sale price (Mar 2026) | $1,397,500 ($1,470,000 detached, $625,000 condo/townhome) |
| Median household income | $162,560 |
| Population | 82,506, up 12.6% since 2020 |
Redmond is a premium rental market and should be managed like one. Average rent is roughly 1.75x Everett’s, the median household income of $162,560 is close to double the state median, and 75.3% of adults hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. Your tenant pool is largely employed at Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Nintendo or the Lake Washington School District, which tends to mean strong covenant and high expectations. A property that shows poorly or sits unrepaired loses a Redmond tenant faster than it would elsewhere.
The Downtown Redmond Link extension opened in May 2025, adding the Downtown Redmond and Marymoor Village stations and connecting them to Overlake, Bellevue and Seattle. Proximity to a station is now a rent factor in Redmond in a way it simply was not two years ago, and it is not yet fully priced into every listing. If your property is walkable to Marymoor Village or Downtown, that is worth money and worth saying in the listing.
If you already own a home in Redmond and are deciding whether to keep it as a rental or sell, our Rent vs. Sell Calculator can help you compare projected rental income, ownership costs, equity, and potential sale proceeds side by side.

What Rents Where in Redmond
Redmond has a mix of neighborhoods, and each one appeals to renters for different reasons. Things like home type, commute time, nearby schools, parks, and access to major employers can all affect rental demand.
Here’s a quick look at ten Redmond neighborhoods from a property owner’s point of view, including what can make each area stand out to renters.
Bear Creek — A mixed residential area with detached homes, apartments, condos, and convenient access to retail around Avondale Road and Union Hill Road. For owners, the varied housing stock supports a broader renter pool, while single-family rentals can appeal to households looking for more space outside Redmond’s urban core.
Downtown Redmond — Redmond’s most urban, walkable rental market, with apartments and mixed-use housing close to restaurants, shopping, trails, employment, and the Downtown Redmond light rail station. Rental demand is especially well suited to smaller households and professionals who prioritize transit access and a low-car lifestyle.
Education Hill — One of Redmond’s largest established residential neighborhoods, known for mature streets, parks, and a concentration of schools. Its predominantly residential character makes it a natural fit for single-family rentals, with households seeking stability and neighborhood amenities often representing the core tenant pool.
Grass Lawn — A mature, highly walkable residential neighborhood with mostly low- to moderate-density housing, plus pockets of apartments and condominiums. Owners can encounter a mix of renter profiles here, from households seeking detached homes to renters who want apartment or condo living without being directly in Downtown.
Idylwood — A predominantly residential neighborhood overlooking Lake Sammamish, with access to Idylwood Beach Park and close proximity to Overlake. Its combination of established homes, outdoor amenities, and access to major Eastside employment centers can make it attractive to renters looking for a quieter residential setting without a long commute.
North Redmond — A lower-density residential area made up largely of detached and low- to moderate-density housing, with access to trails and open space. Rental inventory is less urban than Downtown or Overlake, so properties here tend to compete on space, privacy, and residential character rather than walkability to major commercial centers.
Overlake — Redmond’s second urban center and a major employment and housing hub shaped by Microsoft, mixed-use development, and transit access. The area is particularly well positioned for apartments, condos, and townhomes serving renters who value short commutes and proximity to major technology employers. The City of Redmond’s neighborhood guide provides additional context on how Overlake fits into the city’s broader neighborhood structure.
Sammamish Valley — A distinctive part of Redmond where employment, research and development, recreation, and agricultural uses meet. Residential opportunities are more limited than in Redmond’s core neighborhoods, so owners here are operating in a less conventional rental submarket where location and property type can have an outsized effect on tenant demand.
Southeast Redmond — A fast-evolving mixed-use area near Marymoor Park with residential, retail, business, and industrial uses, plus Marymoor Village light rail access. Newer apartments and multifamily housing can appeal to renters seeking transit connectivity and proximity to Downtown while remaining close to parks and major employment corridors.
Willows/Rose Hill — A northwest Redmond neighborhood that combines established residential areas with a significant office, industrial, and employment presence along Willows Road. Rental homes here can appeal to tenants who want a residential environment with convenient access to nearby jobs, making commute convenience an important part of the value proposition.
Choosing a Redmond Property Management Company
There are a dozen firms managing rentals in Redmond. Four questions separate them, and you should ask all four of whoever you end up choosing.
Are they actually in Redmond? Most firms serving Redmond are based elsewhere. Our office is at 16398 NE 85th Street, and it is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Is the pricing published? If a company will not quote before a sales call, ask for the leasing fee, renewal fee, setup fee and maintenance markup in writing. Ours are further up this page.
Can you leave? Many agreements run twelve months with an early termination fee. Ours can be cancelled anytime with no penalty, and within the first three months we refund the management fees you have paid.
How long have they done this? Seventeen years on the Eastside, through two rate cycles, the Downtown Redmond Link build-out and the shift in tech remote-work patterns.
