What does it cost to rent my home with miKe z?

We strive to keep things simple. We charge an annual $250 marketing fee, plus 20% commission on the rental rate of your home. Credit card processing fees may apply. We do require that your home be up to our Mike Z Standards prior to your final walk-thru before renting. If more than two items on the standards list are not met by that time, you will be charged a one-time $295 fee for us to bring your home up to our standards. Don’t worry though. We will communicate with you at every step so you are aware of and confident that your home will meet our checklist standards.
