Full Service Property Management in Kansas City
Leasing, maintenance, rent collection, inspections, and reporting, all handled by a local team so you can own your Kansas City rental from anywhere. Locally owned since 2013.
Alpine manages more than 250 Kansas City rental homes with 96 percent occupancy, 98 percent rent collection, and a 14 day average vacancy. Full service property management means Alpine handles everything for your Kansas City rental: leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, inspections, accounting, evictions, and compliance, all for one tiered fee based on rent collected. It runs from 10 percent when rent is under $999 down to 5 percent at $2,500 and up, so premium rentals pay a lower rate. To begin there is a $100 setup fee plus a refundable $500 per door repair reserve capped at $2,000, and a lease up fee applies when we place a new tenant. No junk fees, nothing buried in the contract.
What is included in full service management?
Full service management is designed for owners who want a truly hands off rental. Alpine covers every job an on site landlord would handle, so you collect the income without the calls, repairs, and paperwork. Here is what a single management fee covers.
Leasing and marketing
We price your rental against live Kansas City comps, then shoot professional photos and syndicate the listing to Zillow, Apartments.com, and dozens of partner sites. We handle every showing, so your home leases in a 14 day average vacancy window instead of sitting empty for weeks.

Our pricing is transparent and built to reward higher performing rentals. The management fee is tiered by the monthly rent collected. The more your property rents for, the lower the percentage you pay. That is the opposite of a flat fee, and it means a premium rental is never penalized.
| Monthly rent collected | Management fee |
|---|---|
| Under $999 per month | 10 percent ($60 minimum) |
| $1,000 to $1,499 | 8 percent |
| $1,500 to $1,999 | 7 percent |
| $2,000 to $2,499 | 6 percent |
| $2,500 and up | 5 percent |
Tiers scale between 10 percent under $999 and 5 percent at $2,500 and up. Your exact rate is confirmed in your free rental analysis.
What it costs to get started
- $100 setup fee. A one time charge to onboard your property, set up your owner portal, and prepare your home for the market.
- $500 per door repair reserve, refundable. We hold this to cover routine maintenance and repairs. It is capped at $2,000 total per portfolio, and it is your money. You get it back. The minimum to activate services is $600.
Leasing and other fees
- Lease up fee: 50 percent of the first month's rent ($500 minimum). Charged when we market, show, screen, and place a new resident. Not charged to renew an existing tenant.
- Lease renewal fee: 25 percent of one month's rent. When we renew a good resident rather than re leasing the home.
- Cancellation fee: $500 if you cancel before the first 12 months.
- Situational charges. Section 8 transfer $75 when applicable, municipal licensing $40 to $60 where a city requires it, and lawn maintenance from $55 per service if you want us to handle it.
- No junk fees. No hidden markups on maintenance, no surprise administrative charges, nothing buried in the contract. Every charge above is disclosed up front and itemized on your monthly statement.

Kansas City property management questions
How much does Alpine charge for property management?
Our management fee is tiered by the monthly rent collected: 10 percent under $999 with a $60 minimum, 8 percent from $1,000 to $1,499, 7 percent from $1,500 to $1,999, 6 percent from $2,000 to $2,499, and 5 percent at $2,500 and up. Higher rent properties pay a lower percentage. To begin there is a $100 setup fee plus a refundable $500 per door repair reserve capped at $2,000, a $600 minimum to activate. A lease up fee of 50 percent of the first month ($500 minimum) applies when we place a new tenant. There are no junk fees and nothing buried in the contract.
What is included in the management fee?
One tiered fee covers ongoing management: rent collection, maintenance coordination, resident communication, accounting, monthly owner statements, inspections, lease enforcement, and compliance. Leasing a new tenant carries a separate leasing fee, and the refundable repair reserve funds vendor work. Everything is itemized on your monthly statement.
What is not covered by the monthly fee?
The monthly management fee does not include the one time $100 setup fee, the leasing fee charged when we place a new resident, or the actual cost of approved repairs, which are paid from your refundable repair reserve. We review every one of these with you during your free rental analysis so there are no surprises.
Do you work with out of state and remote owners?
Yes. Most of the 250 plus doors we manage belong to investors who live outside Missouri and Kansas. We run leasing, maintenance, inspections, and accounting locally so you never need to set foot in Kansas City. The owner portal and monthly statements keep you fully informed from anywhere.
How fast can you fill a vacancy?
Our average vacancy between tenants is 14 days, and we hold a 96 percent occupancy rate across the portfolio. We market aggressively, price to the live market, and screen quickly so qualified residents move in fast rather than the unit sitting empty and costing you rent.
What areas of Kansas City do you manage in?
We manage single family homes and small multifamily across the entire Kansas City metro on both the Missouri and Kansas sides. That includes cash flow markets like Independence, Raytown, and Grandview, hybrid areas like Gladstone, Blue Springs, and Liberty, and appreciation markets like Lee's Summit and Overland Park.
What are the contract terms and how do I get started?
You start with a free rental analysis where we review your property, recommend a rent, and walk you through the agreement and full cost picture before you sign anything.
