Resident loginOwners
Check monthly statements, distributions and open work orders on your property at any hour, without waiting on an email back.
Owner loginWhat we take off your plate
Whether you own one condo or a small building, the work is the same: find good residents, keep the place in shape, get paid on time and stay on the right side of local law.
Leasing and screening
We price the unit, list it, show it and screen every applicant against written criteria that go out with every application. Decisions come within three business days of completed screening.
Rent and accounting
Rent comes in online and is tracked line by line. You get a monthly statement and electronic distributions. Security deposits are held in a separate account, the way DC, Maryland and Virginia law expects.
Maintenance and vendors
Requests go to vetted, trusted vendors. Anything over the limit in your agreement waits for your OK, and every work order shows up in your portal.
Licensing and compliance support
Our dedicated compliance team can take on DC Basic Business License filings, Rental Accommodations Division registration, Montgomery County rental licensing and pre-rent safety checks. These are add-on services, available whether or not we manage your property.
Full management
Leasing, rent collection, accounting and maintenance, from the first showing through renewal or move-out. You get the statements. We get the 2 a.m. calls.
Leasing only
We market the home, screen applicants, sign the lease and hand it back to you with a qualified resident in place.
How we get started
-
01Intro call
Tell us about the property, what you want from it and what's bugging you about how it runs now.
-
02Walkthrough and paperwork check
We see the unit in person and confirm its license and registration status before anything gets listed. Surprises at lease signing cost real money.
-
03Listing and leasing
Photos, pricing, showings and screening, with you approving the final applicant.
-
04Ongoing management
Rent, repairs and renewals run through the portal, and you hear from us when something needs a decision.
A home that's looked after
Clear rules, quick repairs and a real person on the other end. Here's where to go.
Pay rent or request a repair
Everything runs through the resident portal, including autopay and maintenance requests with photos.

Three jurisdictions, three sets of rules on deposits, licensing and notices. Our broker is licensed in all three, and we work in each of them every week.
Washington, D.C.
Citywide and surrounding areas. This is home base.
Maryland

Virginia
Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax, as far south as Stafford, plus surrounding areas.
A steward looks after something that belongs to someone else, and expects to give an account of how it was kept.
That's the job as we see it. The Property Stewards was co-founded by Kendra Whitaker and Jason Shine. Kendra holds real estate broker licenses in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Jason, born and raised in Washington, runs the day-to-day operation. We stay small on purpose, so when you call, you reach the people who actually know your property.
