What Property Owners Say
I've been relying on a couple different PM companies for my portfolio for the past few years and decided to switch all of them over to Sagareus. Great customer service and friendly staff.
Had a kitchen sink and toilet clog in one week and Sagareus was out to my property asap to fix this for my tenant. Definitely appreciate the quick and reliable service.
Filled out an application and were in the house a week later. Dezy and Mary were super helpful and I'm looking forward to continue working with the company.
I had my property listed for 3 weeks with no serious interest. Sagareus took over, adjusted the pricing, and had a qualified tenant signed within 12 days. Worth every penny.

Des Moines Property Management FAQs
Sagareus offers full-service property management starting at 6% of collected monthly rent for Des Moines properties. Fees depend on property type, unit count, and scope of services. There are no hidden charges. Your management agreement spells out every cost before you sign.
The monthly management fee covers rent collection, owner disbursements, maintenance coordination, tenant communication, lease enforcement, and monthly financial reporting. Leasing, inspections, and lease renewals are itemized separately so you always know exactly what you are paying for.
Des Moines' waterfront location and quieter residential character attract a steady pool of renters looking for an alternative to busier south King County cities. Well-priced properties in good condition typically lease within 2 to 4 weeks. Our team uses professional photography, syndicated listings, and pre-screened applicant outreach to keep vacancies short.
Washington State landlord-tenant law (RCW 59.18) applies to every rental property regardless of portfolio size. Deposit rules, notice timelines, and eviction procedures are the same for one home as for a multi-unit portfolio. Many of our Des Moines clients own one or two properties and count on us to handle the legal and operational details.
Tenants submit requests through an online portal available 24/7. Our team triages each request, coordinates with vetted local vendors, and keeps both owner and tenant informed throughout. Owners set approval thresholds for routine repairs. Anything above your limit requires your sign-off before work begins.
Full-Service Property Management means we handle everything: Rent collection, maintenance, tenant communication, lease renewals, inspections, financial reporting, and evictions if needed. You stay completely hands-off while we protect and optimize your investment on an ongoing basis.
Tenant Placement is a one-time service where we find and place a qualified tenant in your property: Marketing, showings, screening, lease execution, and move in. Once your new tenant moves in, you take over day-to-day management yourself.
The right choice depends on how involved you want to be. If you want true passive income with no landlord headaches, full-service management is for you. If you're comfortable self-managing but just need help filling a vacancy, tenant placement gets the job done.
