    About Us

    We Manage as if We Own

    Asset 11

    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.

    Transparency You Won't Find with Corporate Management Companies

    We publish our fees upfront—no application fees, no lease renewal markups, no surprise charges. You'll receive monthly financial statements showing every dollar collected and every expense paid, accessible anytime through your owner portal. Our contracts are month-to-month because we believe property managers should earn your business every single month.

    Local Expertise in Alexandria's Unique Rental Markets

    Our team lives and works in Northern Virginia. We know that Old Town commands premium rents but requires historic district compliance. We understand that Kingstowne condos have strict HOA rules. We're familiar with Franconia's military tenant population and Springfield's family-focused rental demand. This hyperlocal knowledge gets your property rented faster and at higher rates than out-of-area management firms.

    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.

    We're Jet Renovation, a roofing company, and we recently completed a roof replacement for one of Central's properties. It was a pleasure working with Jennifer Hobbs—her communication was excellent and made the entire process seamless. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and we look forward to continuing this great partnership!

    We are a couple living abroad, and we're grateful to have found Central Properties Management to manage our two rental properties. It is reassuring to know that CPM is looking out for our best interests while going out of the way to maintain a great working relationship with our renters. In the end everyone wins.

    Over more than a decade, Ben Sliwka has done a superb job managing our rental properties. He is an expert at marketing homes to their best advantage. Better yet, he keeps them rented by making renters truly feel at home and quickly resolving any issues, big or small. Ben even makes the record keeping easy! He's the best property manager in the DMV by a long shot.

    Ben and his team are top notch. When there's an issue, he personally makes sure it is remedied and often has to make decisions on the spot, which has been invaluable. If I had to sum up the management in a word, I would say - Competent. It's been a great, stress-free, experience! My thanks to the team.
