Sell your Property Management business

Recurring management fees and doors under contract make property management companies durable, in-demand acquisition targets. Here’s what yours is worth and how to sell it on your terms.

What it’s worth

Property Management valuation multiples

Property management companies commonly trade around 4–6× EBITDA (or on a per-door / multiple-of-recurring-fee basis), with the premium going to contract-heavy, high-retention books.

These are general, illustrative ranges for healthy businesses—not a valuation or an offer. Actual value depends on size, margins, recurring revenue, customer concentration, owner dependence, and deal structure. For a real number, request a free confidential valuation.
