A warm body in the unit

Screening covers background, income verification and previous landlord references before anyone signs. Faster isn't better if the rent stops in month two.

Nobody ever looked at the property

Frequently asked questions

Do you mark up contractor invoices or use in-house maintenance?

No percentage markup. Third-party vendor invoices are passed through at cost and the itemized invoice is attached to your statement. Repairs above your authorization threshold are not started without your approval.

Do I pay a management fee while the property is vacant?

No. Fees are based on collected rent, so there is no management fee on an empty unit.

What is your tenant screening process?

Background check, income verification and previous landlord references, before a lease is offered. We would rather a unit take a little longer to fill than place a tenant who stops paying in month two.

How often do you walk through the property?

Walkthroughs are scheduled and documented with photos, so you have a record of the unit's condition over time and small problems get caught early.

Will I have one point of contact?

Yes. A named local account manager handles your property, and your residents reach the same team. Missed calls get an automatic text and a logged follow-up.

Is switching from my current manager a hassle?

CRPM handles tenant notifications, ledger reconciliation, security deposit audits and lease file transfers so rent keeps coming in during the handoff.

What does CRPM do?

CRPM (Catalyst Realty Property Management) is a property management company based in Fairlawn, Ohio. The team manages residential rentals, commercial properties, and condominium and homeowners' associations. Owners get the day-to-day details handled, and residents get a local team that knows the area.

What areas does CRPM serve?

CRPM serves property owners, associations, and renters across Northeast Ohio, including Fairlawn, Akron, and the greater Cleveland area. The team manages properties in five counties from its Fairlawn office.

How much do property management companies charge?

CRPM prices management through a customized proposal rather than a flat rate. After a free 30-minute consultation about your property and goals, you receive options tailored to your situation, so you see what is included and what it costs before you decide.

Do you manage a single rental home as well as larger portfolios?

Yes. Whether one home or many, CRPM customizes its approach to fit your goals, with the same rent collection, maintenance planning, and financial reporting.

How do I see my property's finances?

CRPM uses AppFolio for its online portals. Property owners use the Portfolio Owner Login to see statements and financial reports, and residents use the Resident Login to pay rent and manage their account.
