In the dynamic world of property management, a concerning trend has emerged— the pervasive practice of “fee maxing.” This phenomenon involves property managers seeking to maximize financial gains by imposing a plethora of fees on both tenants and property owners. However, at Smith Hearn, we are charting a different course—one that prioritizes value-driven practices, with a steadfast commitment to integrity and transparency in our approach to property management. Let’s be clear, we are all about a company making a profit, but some of these fees can get ridiculous!
Fee Maxing in Property Management
Fee maxing has become an unwelcome norm in the property management landscape. From hidden charges and exorbitant fees to nickel-and-diming tenants and property owners for every service rendered, this practice has eroded trust and tarnished the industry’s reputation. Tenants find themselves burdened with unexpected costs, while property owners often feel nickel-and-dimed for services they assumed were part of the management agreement.
