Most of the owners Alpine works with do not live in Kansas City. They own a rental here because the numbers work, and they hire a Kansas City property manager so that owning it never becomes a second job. Our role is to stand in for you on the ground, from the day a unit goes vacant to the deposit that clears at the end of a lease, so you can follow everything from wherever you live.
It starts with leasing. We photograph and market the home, field the inquiries, run the showings, and screen every applicant for income, credit, rental history, and prior evictions before anyone signs a lease. Thorough screening is a large part of why our owners hold a 98 percent rent collection rate, and fast professional marketing is why our average vacancy runs 14 days between tenants rather than the weeks a self managing owner often loses. Those are Alpine numbers rather than metro averages, and you can set them beside our sourced Kansas City rent and vacancy figures to see how the two compare.
Once a tenant is in place, the day to day is ours. Rent collection, maintenance coordinated with licensed and insured vendors, routine inspections, lease renewals, and the compliance work that shifts from one Kansas City suburb to the next. When a water heater fails at 2 in the morning, the call comes to us. Every dollar in and out lands in your owner portal, and your monthly statement itemizes it, so there is never a surprise and never a junk fee.
We manage more than 250 doors across the Kansas City metro on both the Missouri and Kansas sides, and we have done it since 2013. Our management fee is tiered by the rent we collect, from 10 percent on lower rents down to 5 percent at the top, so a stronger property pays a lower percentage. To see the exact number for your rental before you ever talk to us, the cost calculator gives you a real estimate in seconds.

What Kansas City rental owners say about Alpine
I am from out of state and I only had to make two trips to Kansas City to complete all the transactions on the purchase and rental process. For the last three years, APM has managed my properties with minimum downtime in turnovers.
We have been using Alpine Property Mgt Kansas City for over 12 years for our 2 properties and they continue to exceed our expectations. They do a great job of screening potential tenants and ensure that rent is collected, any repairs get completed quickly and at a reasonable price.
Alpine has managed several of my properties for nearly 10 years. Always a quick response, reasonably discussed game plan and professional execution. AAA recommend.
Locally owned since 2013. 250 plus doors managed across the KC metro.

Kansas City property management FAQs
How much does property management cost in Kansas City?
Most property management companies in Kansas City quote a percentage of collected rent. Alpine charges a management fee in the range of 5 to 10 percent of collected rent depending on the service level and portfolio size. There are no hidden fees.
Do you work with out of state investors?
Yes. Most of our owners live outside Missouri. We handle leasing, maintenance, rent collection, and reporting so you never need to be local.
What areas do you serve?
We manage rentals in Kansas City, MO and across the metro on both the Missouri and Kansas sides, from Independence and Raytown to Overland Park and Lees Summit.
How fast can you fill a vacancy?
Our average vacancy is 14 days between tenants thanks to professional marketing, fast showings, and thorough screening.
What does it cost to get started with Alpine?
The minimum to begin is 600 dollars: a 100 dollar one time setup fee plus the first 500 dollars of the refundable repair reserve. The reserve is escrow rather than a fee, it is held at 500 dollars per door and caps at 2,000 dollars, and it comes back to you when you end services minus anything drawn against it. A rental analysis before you sign costs nothing.
Do you charge a markup on maintenance?
No. Maintenance coordination is included in the monthly management fee and vendor invoices are passed through at cost with no markup. Every charge is itemized on your monthly statement.
How do you screen tenants in Kansas City?
Every applicant is screened for income, credit history, prior evictions, criminal background, and verified rental and employment history. Thorough screening is a large part of why our owners hold a 98 percent rent collection rate across more than 250 doors.
Do you manage rentals on the Kansas side of the metro?
Yes. We manage on both the Missouri and Kansas sides, including Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, and Kansas City, KS. Kansas landlord law differs from Missouri in several places, and we handle the compliance work on either side of the state line.
What happens if a tenant stops paying rent?
We chase the late payment first, then work with local eviction attorneys on the notices, the filing, and the court process under Missouri or Kansas rules, and we keep you updated throughout. Careful screening is why this is rare for our owners, who hold a 98 percent rent collection rate, and we get the home rent ready and re listed quickly afterward.
How long has Alpine managed Kansas City rentals?
Since 2013. Marcus and Cara Painter founded Alpine here and we now manage more than 250 doors across the Kansas City metro, with 96 percent occupancy and a 14 day average vacancy between tenants.
