Commission Structure
1 Month's Rent
We charge a one-month rental fee for successfully leasing a unit. This fee is collected upfront from the prospective tenant at lease execution and serves as our leasing commission on behalf of the landlord.

The Problem
Leasing a unit takes more than a listing.
Limited Time
Landlords often don't have the time to respond to inquiries, coordinate showings, and manage the leasing process.
Limited Exposure
Getting a vacant unit in front of enough qualified renters requires effective marketing across multiple platforms and channels.
Unqualified Prospects
Sorting through inquiries and applications is time-consuming, especially when verifying a prospective tenant's financial qualifications.
Hands-On Process
From showings and applications to lease paperwork and move-in funds, there are numerous steps before a unit is successfully leased.
Our Solution
We handle the details, start to finish.
Full-Service Marketing
Professional photography, compelling listings, and strategic placement across the local MLS, Zillow, HotPads, Trulia, and more.
Qualified Tenant Placement
We manage prospect communication, showings, applications, and screening to efficiently identify renters who meet your property requirements.
End-to-End Leasing Management
From initial inquiry through signed lease and collection of initial move-in funds — a seamless, hands-off experience for landlords.

How We're Compensated
One unit. One brokerage. One clear fee.
Exclusive Right to Lease Agreement
We work with landlords under an Exclusive Right to Lease Agreement, which designates Bertco Realty as the exclusive brokerage authorized to market and lease the specified unit or property during the agreed-upon term.
This allows us to confidently invest in marketing, prospect outreach, showings, and tenant placement — while giving both parties a clear understanding of the relationship and compensation structure.
