Management for your Fairfax rental home
Century 21 Accent Homes provides Fairfax property management for single-family homes, townhomes and condos. We handle rental marketing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections and owner reporting. Silver is $250/month; Gold is $350/month and adds six written guarantees, subject to their terms. Family-owned, we have served Northern Virginia since 1972.
Start with the exact address and whether the home is in the City of Fairfax or Fairfax County. The jurisdiction, home type, condition and association documents help shape the rental plan. We help owners prepare a first rental or transfer an occupied property, using comparable rentals rather than treating every Fairfax address as the same market.

Compare property management for your Fairfax rental home
How to compare Fairfax property management companies
Ask each company for the full cost of managing your home: monthly management, leasing, renewals, setup and any separate property expenses. Compare how repairs are approved, how you receive owner statements and what happens when you cancel or transfer management. Read the written guarantee terms, including eligibility and remedies, rather than comparing the number of guarantees alone. Our Silver and Gold pricing and cost calculator below help you compare quotes using the same rental assumptions.
City of Fairfax or Fairfax County?
The City of Fairfax is an independent city. Confirm whether the actual property is within City limits or in Fairfax County before choosing property records or checking local requirements. The City's real estate resources and database map help with City properties; the County's address repository covers County addresses and excludes the City of Fairfax. A Fairfax postal name alone is not enough to select the correct local office.
Compare properties with the same useful features
Compare rentals with the same home type, condition, bedrooms, usable space, parking and included utilities. Record differences in outdoor space, storage, access and availability before choosing an asking rent. A sale price or a single Fairfax rent average does not establish achievable rent for your home.
Prepare the unit and the shared-property records
For a condo or townhome, gather association leasing documents, move-in arrangements, parking and visitor access details, keys or fobs and maintenance responsibility records. Check which contacts handle shared facilities and which repairs remain with the owner. For a detached home, document outdoor upkeep, major-system condition and open repairs. Use the actual property file to plan work and access before photography and showings.
Verify Vienna Metro access from your home
WMATA's Vienna station page includes parking information and a vicinity map. Check the actual route from the property, including walking access, crossings, station entrances or parking, before describing Metro access in a listing. A Fairfax mailing address alone does not establish station access, commute time or a rent premium.
Plan a first rental or an occupied-property handoff
For a first rental, assemble the condition and repair list, association records and access arrangements, then set an availability date around preparation, photography and showings. For an occupied home, gather the signed lease, ledger, deposit records, inspection reports, keys and open maintenance requests. Review the current management agreement's notice arrangements before agreeing on a transfer date, rent collection and tenant communication. Ask how the written guarantee terms apply to the existing tenancy.

Fairfax Property Management: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does property management cost in Fairfax?
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 Fairfax?
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 Fairfax?
We manage single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums for owners and investors throughout Fairfax and the surrounding Northern Virginia area.
What's included in Fairfax 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.
How do I compare property management companies in Fairfax?
Compare the complete fee schedule, leasing and renewal charges, repair approval process, owner reporting and cancellation terms. Ask how an occupied property would transfer and read each guarantee's eligibility and remedy. Our Silver plan is $250/month; Gold is $350/month with six written guarantees, subject to their terms. Leasing, renewal, setup and property expenses are separate; use the linked pricing page and cost calculator to compare the full cost.
Is a Fairfax mailing address enough to establish jurisdiction?
No. Check the actual property against the City of Fairfax's database map and the relevant local property records. The City is independent from Fairfax County, and the County's address repository excludes City properties. Confirm jurisdiction before selecting a local office or checking requirements.
Can you review an occupied Fairfax property for management?
Yes. Send the exact address to confirm coverage and bring the existing management agreement, lease, ledger, deposit records, keys, inspection reports and open repairs. Agree on the transfer date, rent collection and tenant communication. Written guarantee terms determine eligibility for the existing tenant.
