Property Management in Alexandria, VA

Wondering how much your home will rent for?

Overview

Century 21 Accent Homes provides full-service property management in Alexandria, VA for a flat monthly fee — $250/month on our Silver Plan, or $350/month on our Gold Plan, which adds all six written guarantees — covering marketing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, and owner accounting. Family-owned and rooted in the area since 1972, we manage single-family homes, townhomes, and condos for owners and investors across Alexandria and Northern Virginia.

Renting out an Alexandria home starts with the property itself: its jurisdiction, condition, association rules and lease status. We help owners plan marketing and management around those details, whether the home is becoming a rental for the first time or already has a tenant.

Compare the monthly plan together with leasing, renewal and setup fees. Bring the address, any existing lease and your availability date to a rental analysis so the conversation is specific to your home and ownership goals.

From our Alexandria property records

What rental preparation looks like in practice

Every home needs its own plan. These examples show how our inspections become written scopes of work for Alexandria rentals.

Condo turnover

A focused preparation plan

For an Alexandria condo, our move-out inspection identified a hallway wall repair, a refrigerator water-filter replacement, and an aging microwave recommended for replacement. We carried those findings into a written scope of work and vendor punch list.

Room-by-room planning

Details that shape the scope

At another Alexandria rental, the inspection documented painting needs, closet-door repairs, bathroom caulking, appliance replacement, and cleaning. The vendor punch list organized these tasks by room and assigned them to the relevant contractors.

More extensive turnover

A plan across several trades

For a larger Alexandria turnover scope, our records identified painting across multiple rooms, kitchen cleaning, lighting repairs, shower maintenance, and dryer-vent reattachment. These findings became a written plan covering maintenance, cleaning, and specialist work.

Examples describe documented inspection findings and work planning. They do not represent completed repairs or leasing results.

"The staff at Century 21 Accent Homes are superb. I've used their property management services for over 13 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. They are proactive and have great processes and procedures which allow them to find new "qualified" tenants, resolve repairs quickly, and perform overall management of my property. They deserve my 5-star rating."

Property Owner

Alexandria rental management starts with the right local details

Distinguish Alexandria City from an Alexandria postal address

An Alexandria mailing address can refer to a property in the City of Alexandria or in Fairfax County. Confirm jurisdiction from the actual address before checking local requirements or comparing rentals. This matters when gathering property records and identifying the right local office for a question about the home.

Match the management plan to the property

A condo's leasing paperwork, parking and building access can differ from the upkeep of a detached home or townhome. Bring association documents, current photos, repair history and any existing lease. We provide marketing, screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and owner reporting; the management agreement sets the scope and fees.

Prepare for a first rental or a change of manager

For a first rental, set a repair budget, confirm insurance and establish when the home will be available. For a management transfer, assemble the signed lease, tenant ledger, deposit records, inspection reports, keys and open maintenance requests. Agree on the handoff date and tenant communication so responsibilities are clear.

What to bring to your rental analysis

  • Exact address and local jurisdiction
  • Property condition, association rules and availability
  • Lease, rent ledger and deposit records for an occupied home
  • Owner goals, management start date and open repairs

Compare the full management cost

Silver is $250/month for full-service management. Gold is $350/month and adds six written guarantees, subject to their terms. Leasing is 75% of one month's rent, renewal is $395 and setup is $150. The $500 owner reserve is held in trust; repairs and other property expenses are separate.

Alexandria Property Management: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does property management cost in Alexandria?

Century 21 Accent Homes charges $250/month for Silver or $350/month for Gold, which adds six written guarantees under their terms. Leasing is 75% of one month's rent, renewal is $395 and setup is $150. A $500 owner reserve is held in trust; property expenses are separate. Both plans are month-to-month with 30 days' written cancellation notice.

How long does it take to rent a home in Alexandria?

Leasing time depends on the home's asking rent, condition, availability and competing rentals. Request a property-specific assessment rather than relying on a citywide sales-market average. Gold includes the 21-Day Lease Guarantee: if an approved tenant is not secured within 21 days of going live at a mutually agreed rent, the remedy is a credit of two months of management fees ($700), subject to the written terms.

What types of properties do you manage in Alexandria?

We manage single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums for owners and investors throughout Alexandria and the surrounding Northern Virginia area.

What's included in Alexandria property management?

Both plans provide marketing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections and owner reporting. Gold adds the six written guarantees. Leasing, renewal and setup charges are separate from the monthly management fee; compare the pricing page and management agreement for the full scope.

Is every Alexandria mailing address in the City of Alexandria?

No. Some properties with Alexandria addresses are in Fairfax County. Use the actual property address to establish jurisdiction before checking local requirements or drawing comparisons with other rentals.

Can I change property managers while a tenant is in place?

An occupied-property handoff needs a review of the existing management agreement, lease, rent ledger, deposit records and open repairs. Confirm the termination notice, transfer date and tenant communication with both managers. Ask separately about guarantee eligibility for a tenant the new manager did not screen and place.
