Find Out Who Outshines The 7 Top-Rated Property Managers in Washington

From the rocky mountains to the counties across the Puget Sound, if you own a home in Washington, you need to ensure it’s well-kept and profitable on the rental market. But as you sift through Google reviews, you’d be forgiven for thinking that all of the top-rated property management companies are the same. They are. 

The sea of sameness in the market is exactly why Belong exists. To break that mold once and for all. Find out why Belong is changing the entire renting industry for both landlords and tenants — or as we prefer to say, homeowners and residents.

Belong vs property management companies in Washington

When comparing property management companies across Seattle or Washington, you’ll be looking at a handful of differences between them all. How much do they charge for management fees and how often you are going to get slogged for more (if they even tell you!). 

With Belong, there’s no comparison. Because Belong isn’t a property management company, it’s a completely unique experience that is humanizing the rental market. 

Here are 13 ways Belong does things differently to the average Seattle property management company:

1. Guaranteed Rent: Receive your rent on time, every month, regardless of when it’s paid by residents.
   
   
2. 24/7 Concierge Support: Both homeowners and residents have access to real-time support, going above and beyond emergency maintenance requests.
   
   
3. Transparent fees: No hidden costs like setup fees or lease renewal charges.
   
   
4. Modern-day marketing: Virtual tours and video marketing are included in every listing.
   
   
5. Market-driven insights: Belong utilizes market data and real-time interest to maximize the value of your home.

7. Long-term residents: Belong takes a personalized approach to match the right people, so they stay longer and feel at home.
   
   
8. Innovative financial solutions: Homeowners can manage cash flow effectively, even splitting the cost of maintenance and placement fees.
   
   
9. Eviction protection: Owners are shielded from up to $15,000 in legal costs if we ever place the wrong people.
   
   
10. Extensive vendor network: Belong connects homeowners with a vetted network of over 10,000 professionals for repairs and renovations.
    
    
11. Comprehensive insurance solutions: Belong offers insurance options that protect homeowners, their properties, and residents.
    
    
12. Lightning-fast listing responses: Belong directly integrates with top rental platforms such as Zillow and Zumper, getting you responses faster and vacancies filled. 
    
    
    
13. Homeowners referral program: Earn $1,000 by referring a qualified homeowner when they join Belong.
