Our standards
How we vet property managers
Every manager we introduce must meet these standards first. They're a starting point for your own due diligence, not a substitute for it.
Active Colorado license
Every partner holds an active Colorado real estate brokerage license.
Colorado requires anyone who leases or manages rentals for others to be licensed. We verify each partner's brokerage and employing broker on the Colorado Division of Real Estate license lookup before we introduce them, and recheck periodically.
Good standing
No public disciplinary actions we can find.
We review the Division of Real Estate's public records for disciplinary actions against the brokerage and its employing broker. Partners with unresolved actions aren't eligible.
Local residential experience
Partners actively manage residential rentals where you own.
We only introduce managers who currently manage single-family homes, condos, townhomes or small multifamily properties in the cities they cover, and who know local rules like Denver's rental license.
Written, all-in pricing
A complete fee schedule, in writing, before you sign.
Partners agree to give owners a written fee schedule listing every fee they could charge, including leasing, renewal, maintenance and termination fees, so you can compare proposals side by side.
Insured
General liability and errors and omissions coverage on file.
Partners provide proof of general liability and errors and omissions (E&O) insurance. Ask any manager you're considering for a current certificate.
Responsive
Partners reach out to matched owners promptly.
Partners agree to contact matched owners promptly. If a manager doesn't follow up or doesn't treat you well, tell us. Owner feedback decides who stays in the network.
Do your own check too
Verify any manager in two minutes
Look up the brokerage and employing broker on the Colorado Division of Real Estate license search, ask for a current insurance certificate, and request the full management agreement and fee schedule before you sign.
Denver Rental Managers is a free referral service, not a property management company or real estate brokerage. We don't manage property. Partner managers are independent, licensed Colorado brokerages that pay us a fee for introductions. We don't guarantee any manager's services or results.
Vetting FAQs
Do property managers need a license in Colorado?
Yes. Colorado generally requires anyone who leases, collects rent or manages residential property for others to hold a real estate broker license and work under a licensed brokerage. You can check any license on the Colorado Division of Real Estate's online lookup.
Do you guarantee the managers you recommend?
No. We check the standards on this page before introducing a manager, but each partner is an independent business responsible for its own services. Always interview managers, read the management agreement and check references before you sign.
What happens if a partner doesn't treat me well?
Tell us. Owner feedback is part of how we decide which managers stay in the network, and we can introduce someone else.
