Our Fee Structure



Tenant Procurement

1 Month’s Rent

For marketing your property through our multiple outlets, showings, application, consultation with you and lease drafting and signing, our fee is 1 month’s rent. Oftentimes, depending on your rent level, this also includes professional photography and floor plans. If an outside real estate agent is involved in bringing your tenant, we share that fee with them.



Ongoing Management

Monthly Fee 8%

Our ongoing management fee is 8% of the month’s rent. We have found that industry averages run about 7-10%. Some are higher and some are lower. We believe that the deep discounters service level will reflect the discount. A viable business plan cannot sustain these deep discounts for very long and our mission is to be a lasting and stable management solution for our clients. For repairs that must be made in the normal course of management, we will charge a 10% admin fee for setting up and overseeing repairs. We have found that this fee allows us to keep the base fee minimized by recognizing that some homes will naturally be higher maintenance than others. This “scalability” allows us to remain at the low end of the fee scale.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Central Properties and specifically Ben Sliwka for several years now, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. As the team at Airco Mechanical Company, we specialize in HVAC work, and Ben has always been a reliable and responsive point of contact. He’s proactive, communicative, and consistently ensures that the job gets done right.

Central Properties is a top-tier company that truly values the quality and efficiency of their services, and it's been an absolute pleasure working alongside them on various projects. Their professionalism and attention to detail set them apart in the DC area, and we appreciate the strong, ongoing partnership we have built together.

If you’re looking for a reliable property management company in DC, look no further than Central Properties. We look forward to continuing to work with them and are confident in the excellent service they provide to their clients. Highly recommend!

Paying on time respectful communication I wish all of my property management clients were like that.

And I would like to point out Jennifer Hobbs for being super prompt and professional with her communication!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
