Whether you own one rental house or a growing portfolio, we keep every home leased, cared for and earning.
Single-Family Rentals
Emerald Property Management provides single family property management in Rockford for owners with one rental house or twenty. Single-family homes are the heart of what we do, and many of our clients own several of them spread across Rockford and nearby towns.
We handle the residents, the rent and the repairs so every house runs on the same dependable process, and you get clear reporting without the late night phone calls. Our team has managed Rockford area rentals since 2013.
Pricing stays simple: 10% of the rent we actually collect, no money down to get started, no markup on maintenance and the freedom to cancel with 30 days’ notice.
End to End
From the day a house goes on the market to the statement in your inbox, here is what we take care of.
We advertise your home, answer inquiries and show it to prospective residents so it does not sit empty.
A two-part application, nationwide background check and full TransUnion credit report, paid for by the applicant.
Lease preparation, deposits, move-in coordination and a documented Move-In Inspection Report.
Online payments, enforced late fees and your rental income delivered by direct deposit.
Repairs, lawn care and snow removal through trusted local contractors, with no markup.
Log in anytime to see statements, income and expenses for each house in your portfolio.
