Let us manage your property.
At the Spartan Agency, we take great pride in providing professional services to property owners. We know that selecting a Property Management Company is an important step in assuring your property is well maintained and cared for as you would do yourself. We strive to create a working partnership with our property owners.

Our property management services
Whether we are managing a single family, a small complex, or helping place a resident, we provide each one with the necessary management skills to ensure the property remains occupied.
Full screening of all prospective residents
Every adult who will live in the home completes an application. Our published application requirements spell out the income, credit, rental-history, and animal criteria we screen against, so every applicant is treated equally.
Advertising
Your vacancy is listed here on spartanagency.com with photos, rent, deposit, availability, and a direct link to apply online, and we schedule tours with interested renters.
Accounting and bookkeeping
We keep the books for your property so you always know where it stands.
Collection of rent
Rent is due on the 1st. Residents pay online through Zego, by mail, by bank bill-pay, or in person at our Sumner office, and we follow up on late payments per the lease.
Coordination of maintenance and repairs
Residents submit maintenance requests online; urgent items come straight to our office at 253-863-6122. We coordinate the repair and keep you informed.
What should your property rent for?
Call and we will give you a straight answer based on what has actually leased nearby.

Questions owners ask before hiring us
What does Spartan Agency charge to manage a property?
Fees are quoted per property because a single-family home, a duplex, and a small complex do not carry the same workload. Call 253-863-6122 for a written quote. Before you sign anything we spell out the management fee, any leasing fee, and exactly what each one covers.
How do you screen tenants?
Every adult who will live in the home completes an application and is screened against the same published criteria: verifiable income of at least 2.5 times the rent, credit history, a five-year residence history with landlord references, and a criminal background check reviewed case by case. The full standard is on our Application Requirements page so you can see exactly what we hold applicants to.
How do you set the rent for my property?
We compare it with what has actually leased nearby in the last 60 to 90 days — not asking prices — and factor in condition, parking, yard, pets, and season. We would rather rent your home in two weeks at the right number than let it sit for six at an aspirational one, and we will show you the comparables behind our recommendation.
How long will my property sit vacant?
Priced correctly and show-ready, most homes in our area lease within a few weeks. We start marketing as soon as the current resident gives notice, list on this website and the major rental sites, and schedule showings from our office so a vacancy is measured in days, not months.
Do I have to allow pets?
No. It is your decision, and we will tell you honestly how it affects your applicant pool in our area. If you do allow an animal, we collect an additional deposit and a signed animal agreement, and we verify size, age, and breed against your property’s rules. Assistance animals are handled under fair-housing law regardless of a pet policy.
Can you manage a property while I live out of state?
Yes. A large share of the owners we work with are out of the area or overseas. Statements, approvals, and lease renewals all happen by phone and email, and we are the local contact for the resident, the city, and any vendor.
Do you manage commercial property?
Yes. Since 1965 we have managed both residential and small commercial rentals across the Pierce County area. Commercial agreements are structured differently, so call to discuss the specific property.
