  • Move-In Orientation — Our inspector shows your new tenants all they’ll need to know about living in your property: water shut-off location, circuit-breakers, A/C filter location, plus anything else they’ll need to know —  helps to avoid any “you never told me that” excuses down the road.

What's included in Premier Plus that's not included in your other plans?

Premier Plus is our only plan that includes the complete protection package — everything a rental owner would otherwise pay for separately over the course of a lease. Included at no additional charge:

  • Eviction Protection Promise — we cover eviction legal costs for non-payment of rent up to $1,000 (a $750–$1,000 value per eviction)

  • Re-Rent Promise — if a tenant we placed leaves within the initial 12-month lease, we re-lease your Sarasota, Manatee, or Charlotte county property with no re-leasing fee

  • No Fee During Vacancy — you pay zero management fee between tenants (a $100/month value while we continue managing the property)

  • FREE to you Carpet Cleaning between turnovers — a $200 value

  • FREE to you Interior Maid Service between turnovers — a $250 value

  • FREE to you Lock Re-Key on up to 4 doors between turnovers — a $225 value

  • Quarterly A/C Filter Program — high-quality, properly sized filters delivered to your tenant every 90 days (a $120/year value)

Total included perks: $1,745+ in value per full turnover cycle. Blue Ribbon, Leasing + DIY, and Leasing-Only plans do not include all of these owner perks and protections — they can be added a la carte or through separate protection programs. Real Property Management of Sarasota & Manatee designed Premier Plus for owners who want complete, worry-free ownership without surprise costs.

Does Premier Plus really include no management fee during vacancies?

Yes — we charge zero management fee while your property is between tenants. This is unusual in the property management industry — many competitors continue to charge their full monthly management fee even when the property is producing zero rent. During any vacancy period on a Premier Plus contract, Real Property Management of Sarasota & Manatee continues to actively market, show, screen, and lease your property, but we take no management fee until your next qualified tenant is placed and rent begins to be collected. This alignment of interests — we don’t get paid unless you get paid — is one of the reasons 70% of our Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte county owners choose the Premier Plus plan.

What types of properties does Real Property Management of Sarasota & Manatee manage under Premier Plus?

We provide Premier Plus full-service annual management for the full range of residential rental property types across Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties, including:

  • Single-family homes in Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Port Charlotte, Siesta Key, and every surrounding community

  • Individual condominium units in high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise condo buildings

  • Townhomes in planned communities and mixed-use developments

  • Small multi-unit buildings — duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and similar small residential-income properties (typically, 2-8 units)

We manage annual rentals only — no seasonal, weekly, or short-term vacation rentals — which allows us to specialize in the systems, screening, and tenant retention practices that maximize annual rental income while protecting long-term asset value. Whether your property is a $1,800/month starter home in Ellenton or a $8,000/month waterfront property on Siesta Key, Premier Plus scales to your property’s specific needs.

Eviction Protection Plan

We understand the challenges that come with evicting a tenant. With the Eviction Protection Plan, you pay a small monthly fee, and we pay the legal fees (amount determined by your property management team) related to unlawful detainer suits.

Tenant Replacement Protection

We don’t want you to experience the stress of having a tenant walk away - leaving you with an empty property, no rent, and the expense of finding a new tenant. If we place a tenant with you and that tenant vacates your property in less than six months, we will place a new qualified tenant at no additional cost.
