Partnership with Marblestone

Everything included.Nothing nickel-and-dimed.

We don't sell pricing tiers and call it service. We deliver the full operation — leasing, maintenance, compliance, reporting — and price it honestly. This is what partnership with Marblestone looks like.

The Marblestone Difference

We don't just manage. We operate.

Most property managers run a portfolio. We run an operation — built specifically for the South Side, staffed in-house, and engineered for owners who care about long-term value.

Four hundred and twenty-five units across Chicago's South Side. Seven full-time technicians. A leasing team that knows CRLTO inside-out. A finance team that closes the books in seven business days. CHA and Section 8 expertise that most managers won't touch.

This page is everything we do — without the fee-schedule fog most management companies hide behind.

What's Included

The eight things that matter most.

Every owner gets all of it. There's no upsell tier. There's no "premium" version. This is the operation.

01

In-House Vendor Network

Trusted and vetted techs with a Director of Maintenance and Coordinators delivering a positive maintenance experience. Not a contractor rolodex — we make sure someone shows up.

02

South Side Specialists

425+ units across Chicago's South Side. We don't just service this market — we live in it, we know every block.

03

CHA & Subsidized Housing Expertise

RTA prep, HQS inspections, rent determinations, annual recertifications, communication and execution — we handle the full subsidized-housing playbook.

04

24/7 Tenant Portal & Hotline

Submit work orders anytime — issues don't wait for business hours, neither do we. Heat, water, and major leaks get the focus tenants and owners demand.

05

Property Meld Platform

Every maintenance request tracked. Every tech dispatched. Every job documented. You see exactly what we see.

06

CRLTO & Cook County Compliance

Chicago and Cook County have some of the most owner-hostile rental laws in America. We've mastered them.

07

Owner Draws Paid Each Month

Statements, ledgers, and funds in your account within 7 business days of month-end. You don't wait months to get paid what's due to you.

08

Owner Portal — 24/7 Access

Buildium-powered portal. Pull your statements at 2 AM if you want to. Your numbers are your numbers, always available.

We treat your property like it's our own.
Because for 425 units on the South Side — it already is.

And another twelve things you'd expect from a real operator.

This is the rest of the work. No headlines, no fanfare — just the operational depth that separates a property manager from a property partner.

Triple-layer tenant screening — credit, criminal, eviction
Market-rate rental analysis on every unit
In-house lease drafting — CRLTO and CCRTLO compliant
Renewal management — comps, negotiation, inspection
Eviction coordination — attorney, court, sheriff
Annual CHA inspection management
Property tax payment coordination
Year-end 1099s and tax-ready financials
Property tax appeal references when needed
Lawn, snow, and common-area cleaning
Chicago snow-law compliance (10 PM / 10 AM rule)
Vendor payments — avoid the 1099 headache

Our Pricing Philosophy

Honest pricing for honest work.

Most property management companies bury their real fees in a 20-page agreement. We don't. Our pricing model is built on three principles:

Everything is transparent. If a fee exists, it's listed on our PMA. Some of the fees are listed below. No surprise line items at month-end. If a mistake is made, we own it and fix it.

One management fee covers the operation. We don't charge separately for things that should be included — communication, tenant issue de-escalation, basic reporting, and technology.

The small fees match the small work. When something falls outside the operation — such as a quote on a major repair, an owner-requested inspection, or a toilet clog — we charge for it openly so the math always works out and your problems get solved.
