The Difference Between a Property Management Fee & a Leasing Commission
While many landlords think their property managers are primarily a conduit to tenants to fill their spaces, property managers can actually add a great deal more value. Management fees cover a number of ongoing services that keep your property occupied and operating well, while leasing commissions pay for just one thing — putting a tenant in a space.
Leasing Commissions
property manaagement agents are professional sales people who market your vacant space, generate interested prospects and conduct tours. Once they find a prospective tenant, they can also assist you in negotiating a lease and its terms, but their role in your property ends after that point. Property management commissions vary depending on the type of property, the amount of the lease, and the norms of the market. You will typically pay a fee that is some portion of a month’s rent, though. Commercial property leasing fees are more expensive.
Property Management Fees
While many property managers lease properties, they also keep them running. A property manager collects rents, pays bills and coordinates maintenance tasks. In exchange for performing these services, they charge a monthly amount which is typically between 4 percent and 12 percent of the rent collected. This is a key difference from a leasing commission — instead of being a one-time charge and one time-service, management is an ongoing service and an ongoing expense.
