16 professional property management companies in Kansas City

Real estate investing

The housing market in Kansas City is booming despite the pandemic, with homes going under contract within days of hitting the market. For remote real estate investors, that means you’ll need to move fast and have a good local property manager in Kansas City lined up even before making an offer.

To help you speed up your search for a Kansas City property manager, we recently contacted the top companies in the region and asked each one to provide the following information (where possible):

  • BBB Rating
  • Years in Business
  • Property Management Fee
  • Leasing Fee
  • Renewal Leasing Fee
  • Maintenance Fee
  • Property Setup Fee
  • Project Management Fee
  • Rentals Managed

This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all Kansas City-area property managers. Instead, we have chosen to focus on those who prioritize transparent pricing and have a well-established track record of serving investors in the Kansas City market.

We’ll start the list with our own property management service - Mynd - and explain which types of landlords in Kansas City we believe we’re the best fit for.
