Luxury Property Care vs. a Traditional Property Manager
Luxury Property Care is a licensed, investor-owned property management company in South Florida that charges a flat 8 to 10 percent of collected rent with no setup, renewal, vacancy, or cancellation fees. A traditional property manager often adds those junk fees, marks up repairs, and locks you into a long contract. Here is exactly how the two compare.
| Luxury Property Care | Traditional Property Manager | |
|---|---|---|
| Management fee | Flat 8 to 10% of collected rent | Often 10%+ with unclear add-ons |
| Setup, renewal, vacancy, cancellation fees | None | Common |
| Contract and exit | 2-week notice, no termination fee | Long contracts with penalties |
| Local presence | On the ground in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade | Often regional or national call centers |
| Owner reporting and payouts | Real-time owner portal, ACH payouts | Monthly PDF, slower payouts |
| Perspective | Investor-owned, we manage as owners | Managers, not investors |
| Property types | Residential and commercial, condo to portfolio | Often residential only |
What actually makes the difference
The gap is rarely the headline percentage. It is the fees layered on top of it and how a company behaves when something goes wrong. Traditional managers often earn on the spread: an onboarding charge, a renewal fee each year, and a penalty if you leave. Because we own and invest in South Florida real estate ourselves, we make money when your property performs, not when a vendor invoice is padded. That is why we publish our fees, pass vendor pricing through at cost, and keep our exit terms to a two-week notice with no penalty.
Being local matters just as much. Hurricane season, humidity-driven maintenance, HOA approval rules, and seasonal rental demand are specific to Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade. A national call center cannot send someone to your property this afternoon. Our team can.
Frequently asked questions
How is Luxury Property Care different from a traditional property manager?
We charge a flat 8 to 10 percent of collected rent with no setup, renewal, vacancy, or cancellation fees, we are investor-owned and local to South Florida, and we manage both residential and commercial property. Many traditional managers add those fees, and require long contracts.
Do you charge setup, renewal, or cancellation fees?
No. There are no onboarding, renewal, vacancy, or termination fees. Our leasing fee is one month to advertise on the MLS, half a month if we place the tenant directly, and waived on renewals.
Can I switch from my current property manager?
Yes. We contact your current company, collect the records we need, and notify your tenant, with no onboarding charge and no gap in coverage.
Do you manage both residential and commercial property?
Yes. We manage single-family homes, condos, townhomes, multi-family buildings, estates, and commercial and mixed-use assets across South Florida, from a single unit to a full portfolio.
