Property Manager Cost Comparison
See roughly what a property manager's management fee costs a year, plus GST, against a flat RentGuide subscription.
Most property managers also charge extra on top of this, letting fees, inspections, admin, that sort of thing. It varies a lot by manager, often a few hundred dollars a year per property, so it's not included in the figures below.

An estimate that compares fees only, based on the management fee entered plus GST. It does not count your own time, or the work a property manager does in person, such as viewings, inspections, dealing with a difficult tenant and organising tradespeople; RentGuide does not do that work, so if you manage the property yourself, it is yours. Typical NZ property management fees run 6 to 12% of rent. RentGuide's planned prices are Solo for one property and Pro for two or more, and nothing can be bought while RentGuide is in testing.
