We Know What Remote Landlords Deal With

It all began when we were managing our rental property from out of state. One night, the water heater failed, and our tenants were left without hot water. We needed someone to act fast, but no one was available. That moment made it clear: reliable, hands-on property management was hard to find.

So we built it ourselves. We carefully vetted and built a network of licensed, insured contractors who show up when it matters. We created systems to track payments, stay ahead of maintenance, and keep tenants happy — because that's what we wanted for our own property.

Today, we bring that same level of care, urgency, and transparency to every property we manage. You can trust us to treat your property like it's our own — because we know exactly how that feels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about how property management works and what it costs.

How much does property management cost in Palm Beach County?

Golden Key Estates charges 10% of monthly rent collected for full-service property management — no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no markup on repairs. For example, a $2,500/month rental costs $250/month to manage. Tenant placement is a separate one-time fee of 75% of first month's rent, which covers professional photography, listings, applicant screening, lease preparation, and move-in inspection.

What does a property manager do for a landlord?

A property manager handles everything between you and your tenant: rent collection and disbursement, maintenance coordination and vendor management, tenant screening and placement, lease preparation, move-in/move-out inspections, monthly financial reporting, and 24/7 emergency response. The goal is that you own the property without managing the day-to-day.

Is it worth hiring a property manager for one rental property?

For remote landlords especially, yes. The 10% management fee is typically offset by reduced vacancy (faster tenant placement), better tenant quality (professional screening), lower maintenance costs (vetted contractor network with competitive bids), and the elimination of emergency calls. The real cost of self-management is time, stress, and the risk of a single bad tenant or deferred repair.

What areas does Golden Key Estates serve in Palm Beach County?

Golden Key Estates manages rental properties in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, and Royal Palm Beach throughout Palm Beach County, Florida.

How do you screen tenants?

Every applicant goes through credit verification, background check, income verification (typically 3x monthly rent), rental history review, and identity verification. We prepare the lease and conduct a documented move-in inspection with photos.

Do you mark up repair costs?

No. Golden Key Estates does not mark up contractor invoices. You pay what the contractor charges. We obtain competitive bids on major repairs and use a vetted network of licensed, insured local contractors.

How long does it take to place a tenant?

Varies by property and market conditions. We list with professional photography across major rental platforms, conduct showings, and screen applicants thoroughly. Our goal is placement within 2–4 weeks for well-priced properties in Palm Beach County.

What is the difference between property management and tenant placement?

Tenant placement is a one-time service — we find, screen, and place a qualified tenant in your property. Property management is the ongoing monthly service that handles everything after the tenant moves in: rent collection, maintenance, reporting, and tenant relations. Golden Key Estates offers both as separate services or together.
