When placement-only makes sense

For landlords who want to self-manage, done right.

If you're comfortable handling rent collection, maintenance, and tenant communication yourself, placement-only gives you the professional front-end without locking you into monthly management fees.

  • You already own and manage your rental
  • You want a qualified, well-screened tenant
  • You'd rather not handle showings & applications
  • You want a Seattle-compliant lease you can rely on
  • You prefer a one-time fee over monthly management

Common questions

What clients ask us.

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

What's the difference between tenant placement and full property management?
Tenant placement is a one-time service. We market your rental, screen applicants, place a qualified tenant, and hand the lease to you. Full property management is ongoing. We collect rent, handle maintenance, manage renewals, and stay with you through the tenancy. Placement fits hands-on landlords. Management fits owners who'd rather not handle day-to-day.
How much does Seattle tenant placement cost?
Quorum charges a flat, one-time placement fee, typically equivalent to a portion of one month's rent. There are no upfront costs — the fee is only charged on successful placement of a tenant. Exact pricing depends on property type and market rent. Contact us for a quick quote.
How long does it take to place a tenant?
Our Seattle portfolio averages 21 days from listing to signed lease. Actual timing depends on pricing, unit condition, and seasonality. We walk through pricing strategy with you up front so expectations are realistic.
What screening do you run on applicants?
Every applicant goes through credit, income verification, and previous-landlord reference checks. All screening is fully compliant with Seattle Fair Chance Housing rules and Washington State law.
What happens after the tenant moves in?
The tenant relationship transitions to you. You collect rent, handle maintenance requests, and manage lease renewals. If you ever decide you'd rather outsource that, we can convert to full management at any point.
