About Us
We Manage as if We Own
Central Properties Management LLC serves Alexandria, Franconia, Kingstowne, Springfield, and Northern Virginia with honest, transparent residential property management. Unlike large-scale corporate management firms, we focus exclusively on local neighborhoods we know inside and out—from HOA regulations in Eisenhower Valley condos to tenant demand patterns in Old Town Alexandria.
Our team has managed over 50 single-family homes, condos, and townhouses across Fairfax County and Alexandria City. We specialize in investor-owned properties, offering real-time financial reporting, proactive maintenance coordination, and tenant placement averaging just 18 days from listing to lease signing. Every owner receives access to our online portal with 24/7 visibility into rent payments, maintenance requests, property inspections, and monthly statements.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded in Virginia. Our property managers hold certifications in Fair Housing compliance, landlord-tenant law, and residential leasing. We don’t believe in long-term contracts or hidden fees—just straightforward pricing, guaranteed results, and property management that actually answers the phone when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Property Management
How much does property management cost in Alexandria, Virginia?
Our property management fees are 8% of monthly rent collected for single-family homes and townhouses, with a 10% rate for condos requiring HOA coordination. We charge a one-time tenant placement fee equal to first month's rent. Unlike many other property managers, we do not charge inspection fees. All fees are disclosed upfront with no hidden costs.
How quickly can you find a tenant for my Franconia or Kingstowne rental property?
Our average tenant placement time is 18 days from when we take over management to lease signing. Fast placement depends on competitive pricing, professional photography, syndication to 30+ rental sites, and our active database of pre-qualified Alexandria area renters.
Do you manage condos and townhouses with HOA restrictions in Alexandria?
Yes, condo and townhouse management is one of our specialties. We're experienced with HOA rules in Kingstowne, Eisenhower Valley, Cameron Station, and other Alexandria communities. We handle HOA communication, ensure lease compliance with association restrictions, coordinate with property management companies, and maintain required insurance certificates.
What's included in your full-service property management in Northern Virginia?
Full-service management includes marketing and tenant placement, comprehensive tenant screening, lease preparation, rent collection with automatic late fee enforcement, 24/7 maintenance coordination, quarterly property inspections, detailed owner financial statements, eviction processing if needed, move-out inspections, security deposit handling, and 1099 tax form preparation. You receive access to our online owner portal for real-time updates.
Are property management contracts month-to-month or do you require long-term commitments?
We offer month-to-month management agreements with 60-day cancellation notice. We don't believe in locking owners into annual contracts—if we're not delivering results and excellent service, you should have the freedom to leave. Most Alexandria property management companies require 6-12 month contracts, but we let our performance speak for itself.
How do you screen tenants for Alexandria rental properties?
Every applicant undergoes credit checks, criminal background screening, eviction history search, employment verification, income verification requiring 3x monthly rent, and previous landlord references. We verify identity, check for prior lease violations, and ensure compliance with Fair Housing laws. Our tenant screening reduces risk of non-payment, property damage, and early lease breaks.
Do you handle maintenance and repair coordination for rental properties?
Yes, we coordinate all maintenance through our network of licensed, insured contractors with negotiated rates. Tenants submit requests through our portal, we dispatch appropriate vendors, oversee work completion, and pay invoices from your rent proceeds. Emergency maintenance is handled 24/7. You approve any repairs over 300 dollars before work begins. We never mark up contractor invoices.
