How much does a property management virtual assistant cost?
A property management virtual assistant from Assistiq costs $1,497 a month full-time: one native bilingual English and Spanish operator, 40 hours a week, working in your AppFolio, Buildium or Rent Manager from a supervised office in Latin America, with a 5-business-day replacement SLA. Part-time is $1,097 a month for 20 hours a week. Operator Pro, the same seat filled by someone with verified comparable work in property management, is $1,797 a month. One flat monthly price: no setup fee, no bilingual surcharge, and no annual contract on Starter, Operator or Operator Pro. Across the market, managed full-time providers in the property management ranking publish roughly $1,199 to $3,000 a month, and some add a one-time placement, sourcing or onboarding fee.

Five tiers, one flat monthly price each.
Every tier serves a property management desk. Operator, Operator Pro and Specialist share the same 40 hours, office and supervisor model; what changes is the person. The annual column is the monthly price times twelve. Custom has no published floor because it is quoted on scope.
Operator is where most property management firms start and stay. The full tier detail and the universal terms are on the pricing page.
| Tier | Monthly | Hours | Per year | Who it fits on a property management desk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $1,097/mo | 20 hrs/wk | $13,164 | Under about 50 doors, or one contained slice of a larger desk, such as maintenance intake plus the delinquency block |
| Operator | $1,497/mo | 40 hrs/wk | $17,964 | The whole desk, typically 50 to 150 doors per operator; your team teaches the process in the 7-day onboarding |
| Operator Pro | $1,797/mo | 40 hrs/wk | $21,564 | The same desk, run by someone who has worked in property management; software requirements confirmed before matching |
| Specialist | $2,497/mo | 40 hrs/wk | $29,964 | 2+ years already inside a property management company; a role defined before matching, never licensed work |
| Custom | By quote | 2+ operators | By quote | 200 or more doors, split desks, or daytime and evening staffed at the same time; 6-month minimum |
Cost per door, as arithmetic.
Assistiq does not price per door. Every plan is a flat monthly price, and there is no hourly meter. Property managers budget per door, so here is the division and nothing more: the flat monthly price divided by the portfolio sizes one operator typically carries. One full-time operator typically supports 50 to 150 doors, depending on tenant turnover, maintenance frequency, and Spanish-speaking tenant share.
The per-door figure falls as the portfolio grows until the operator's 40 hours are full; past that point the honest answer is a second operator on Custom, not a lower per-door number. The invoice stays the flat monthly price whether you add or lose doors inside the month.
| Tier and monthly price | Doors | About, per door per month |
|---|---|---|
| Operator, $1,497/mo | 50 | $30 |
| Operator, $1,497/mo | 75 | $20 |
| Operator, $1,497/mo | 100 | $15 |
| Operator, $1,497/mo | 150 | $10 |
| Starter, $1,097/mo | 25 | $44 |
| Starter, $1,097/mo | 50 | $22 |
Division of the published monthly price, rounded to whole dollars · A budgeting aid, not a rate card
Maintenance desk or the full desk: same price.
A maintenance coordinator and a full property management operator cost the same at Assistiq, because the price buys hours, a supervisor and a bench, not a job title. The question is what fills the hours.
The maintenance desk on its own: requests taken by phone or portal in either language, triaged against your severity rules, work orders opened with the unit, access window and photos attached, vendors dispatched from the list your company maintains within the spend threshold your company documents, chased to closed, and the invoice matched to the work order before it is routed for your approval. The maintenance coordinator virtual assistant page covers that role end to end.
The full desk: the maintenance lanes plus tenant calls and portal messages, owner communication, leasing inquiries answered from your script and showings booked, rent reminder and delinquency calls on your script, renewals and turns, and clerical back-office prep. The property management virtual assistant service page lays out all eight lanes. When the maintenance lane alone is a half-day job, Starter covers it at $1,097 a month for 20 hours a week.
Where the operator stops, at every price
| Area | The operator does | Your property manager decides |
|---|---|---|
| Leasing | Answers inquiries from the approved script, asks the pre-qualification questions as written, schedules showings, logs every question | Shows units, screens applicants, approves or denies, signs leases, communicates decisions to applicants |
| Fair Housing | Communication and documentation only; accommodation and modification requests documented and routed | Every protected-class decision: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, and source of income where state law protects it |
| Rent | Reminder and delinquency calls on your script, promise-to-pay and partial-payment conversations documented, threshold accounts flagged same day | Fee waivers, payment plans, legal positions, notices, and filings |
| Maintenance | Intake, triage against your severity rules, dispatch from your approved list inside your spend threshold, follow-through to closed | Spend above threshold, emergency authorization above threshold, habitability and legal judgment, repair scope disputes |
| Money | Move-out condition notes and photos, vendor bill entry and invoice matching, owner statement packets assembled | Security-deposit deductions, refunds, payment approvals, and the close |
| Owners | Drafts updates and statement cover notes, fields line-item questions from the ledger | Disputes, fee terms, and the management agreement |
Evenings, weekends and after-hours: what one operator covers.
One operator works one shift. Each operator works the plan hours, scheduled anywhere in the 24-hour day, and across the operation Assistiq schedules 20+ hours of live coverage a day per engagement, anchored to Eastern Time. On the fit call we place the shift where your tenant calls actually land, early evening included. An evening shift costs the same tier price as a daytime one: the hours move, the price does not.
What costs more is staffing two windows at once. Daytime and evening covered at the same time is a two-operator Custom configuration, quoted with a 6-month minimum.
Outside the scheduled shift, events follow the after-hours protocol we document with you during onboarding: which vendors take emergency calls, what triggers owner notification, how your answering flow routes. Whatever lands outside the shift is reconciled at the next scheduled hour.
Operator or Operator Pro: the experience question.
The price difference between the two full-time tiers is the person, not the seat. Both work 40 hours a week from the same office under the same supervisor, and on both your team teaches your own process in the 7-day onboarding.
| Tier | What the tier is |
|---|---|
| Operator, $1,497/mo | Bilingual support for your everyday operations. An evaluated English and Spanish operator who runs your documented processes, calls included. Your team teaches the workflow in the 7-day onboarding. Prior experience in your industry is what Operator Pro adds. |
| Operator Pro, $1,797/mo | Relevant industry experience from day one. The same seat, hours, office and supervisor as Operator, filled by someone with verified experience doing comparable work in your industry: work history, references where available, and a practical test. Specific software requirements are confirmed before matching. Your team still teaches your own process. |
| Specialist, $2,497/mo | Every tier serves your vertical. Specialist changes the person, not the seat: same hours, office and supervisor as Operator, filled by someone with two or more years already working in your vertical and assessed for a more demanding role that is defined before matching: prioritising, spotting missing information, resolving within procedure, knowing when to escalate. Scoped on the fit call. Never licensed work. Experience never widens scope: no licensed activity, no client-reserved decisions, no clinical work, no PHI. |
Two rules that protect the price
The 5-business-day replacement SLA holds on every tier. If no Operator Pro or Specialist match is available within 5 business days, an Operator starts on your account and the seat bills at the Operator price, $1,497, until the matching profile arrives.
Moving down a tier changes the person or the billing, never both kept: nobody keeps a Specialist at the Operator price. Moving up is scoped on a call, and the price never rises automatically because an operator learned your account. Specialist is full-time with two or more years of prior work in your vertical, scoped on the fit call, and never licensed work.
The first week, and what you pay for it.
You pay the tier price. There is no setup fee and no onboarding charge on top of it; the 7-day onboarding is inside every tier. Days 1 to 3: your team teaches your platform and workflow, and our supervisor writes the SOPs. Days 4 to 6: the operator shadows. Day 7: first live calls under supervision. Week 2: the operator runs the desk.
If week one shows the fit is wrong, two things protect the price. The 7-day money-back covers Starter, Operator and Operator Pro. The 7-day money-back starts on your operator's first scheduled working day, which is day 1 of the 7-day onboarding, not at signature or payment. And replacements are unlimited: an operator who is not a fit is replaced within 5 business days, at no extra cost, from a 3-operator warm bench, with no buyout fee. The full sequence is on how it works.
