What Our Clients Say About Us
I moved out of my previous apartment due to a job transfer. DPM assisted me with giving a recommendation letter for my new house and escorted me through the move-out process. They also refunded my security deposit way before I thought. Thanks and if I move back to Kirkland again, I’ll lease from DPM.
Investing is a form of risk taking, but not when you’ve got DPM on your side. Will continue to use their expertise and market savvy in my investment portfolio for years to come. I have 5 homes on the Eastside and they manage them all flawlessly. It’s great to see my investments handled well while accruing more value.
These days, it’s hard to find a good property manager, one that’s competent and can be trusted. That’s why Davis Property Managements stands out to me and my family. They’ve been my managing partner for a long time they always handle issues appropriately. They always put their clients first.
Throughout this stressful time DPM provided a recommendation letter to my new landlord and helped me move out with limited cost.
They are experts with cutting edge technology to make everything comfortable for renters. The office staff was polite and kind. Each and everyone in the office is ready to assist more than those in other companies where you must have to wait for a particular person to get the help you want. Very satisfied so far.

Contact us with the property address and basic information and we can confirm whether it is within our service area.
What is included with residential property management?
Our full-service residential property management includes rental pricing, marketing, applicant screening, lease preparation, rent collection, maintenance coordination, property inspections, tenant communication, lease renewals, financial reporting, and compliance support.
Our team handles the day-to-day responsibilities of managing the property while keeping the owner informed about important decisions.
How does DPM determine the rental price and market my property?
We review comparable rental listings, recent leasing activity, property condition, location, amenities, vacancy trends, and current market demand when recommending a rental price.
Vacant properties are professionally marketed across major rental websites and digital marketing channels. When beneficial, DPM can also coordinate photography, image enhancement, floor plans, virtual staging, and other listing improvements designed to improve the presentation of the property.
How does DPM screen prospective tenants?
Applicants are evaluated using consistent screening criteria that may include income, employment, rental references, credit history, and other screening information permitted by applicable law.
DPM also verifies supporting information and follows applicable fair housing requirements and local rental regulations. Screening requirements may vary based on the location of the property.
No screening process can guarantee a tenant’s future performance, but consistent screening and documentation can help reduce unnecessary risk.
How are maintenance and property inspections handled?
Tenants submit maintenance requests through DPM’s online system. Our team reviews the request, determines its urgency, gathers additional information when needed, and coordinates an appropriate qualified vendor.
Property inspections and assessments may include move-in documentation, routine property assessments, maintenance-related visits, and move-out inspections, depending on the property and management agreement.
DPM communicates with the owner regarding significant repairs and approvals according to the management agreement.
Does my property need to be rent-ready before DPM markets it?
Generally, the property should be safe, clean, functional, and ready for a new tenant before the lease begins.
DPM can help identify and coordinate repairs, cleaning, painting, landscaping, safety items, locksmith services, and other preparation that may be appropriate before a new tenancy.
Marketing may begin before every final item is completed when appropriate, but property condition can affect rental pricing, applicant interest, and leasing time.
What should Seattle rental property owners know about RRIO?
Seattle’s Rental Registration and Inspection Ordinance, commonly referred to as RRIO, requires most residential rental properties in Seattle to be registered with the City and meet minimum housing and safety standards.
RRIO registrations are generally renewed every two years, and registered properties are subject to periodic inspection requirements.
DPM can help owners track applicable RRIO requirements, coordinate registration and renewal information, and assist with the property-management aspects of required inspections and repairs.
How much does residential property management cost?
Management pricing depends on the property type, location, number of units, and services needed.
DPM provides a clear management proposal before services begin so you can review the fees and scope of management without any obligation to move forward.
Contact us for a property and rental analysis specific to your property.
Can DPM take over a rental property that already has a tenant or another property manager?
Yes. DPM regularly takes over occupied rental properties and properties transitioning from another management company.
We review available leases, tenant records, security deposit information, accounting records, maintenance history, keys, notices, and other property information needed for the transition.
When another management company is involved, the owner is responsible for properly terminating the prior management agreement, and DPM can help coordinate the transfer of records, funds, keys, and other information needed to assume management.
