The work that keeps
your portfolio quiet.
Not a checklist — a living operation that runs parallel to your life.
Maintenance & Emergency Response
A dedicated maintenance coordinator on call every hour of every day. When the pipe bursts at 2 a.m., your tenants reach a real person — not a voicemail. Licensed contractors dispatched within the hour, repairs logged and documented with photos.
Lease Administration
From initial screening through renewal negotiations, every lease interaction is handled with zero gaps. Background checks, credit pulls, employment verification. Renewal reminders sent 90 days out. No tenant ghosts on a lease renewal on our watch.
Financial Reporting
A clean ledger every month. Owner disbursements by the 15th, itemized maintenance invoices, year-end 1099 preparation, and a live portal where you can pull any statement at any hour. Your accountant will thank you.
Preventive Inspections
Bi-annual interior inspections catch deferred maintenance before it becomes a five-figure repair. We document every unit with a timestamped photo report — your best defense against security deposit disputes and your best tool for capital planning.
Tenant Placement
Vacant units are listed on 40+ platforms within 24 hours. Professional photos included. Applications screened against our 14-point criteria. Average 11 days from vacant to signed lease.
What it feels like
when someone else handles it.
"I inherited a duplex in Evanston and had no idea what I was doing. Two years of self-managing and I'd had three vacancies, a flooded basement, and a tenant I couldn't get to leave. Steward took it over in January. By March both units were occupied at rents 18% above what I was charging. I haven't received a single maintenance call since."

"I'm in Phoenix managing properties in Chicago. Before Steward, I was flying back twice a year and still things slipped. Now I get a photo report every inspection, my disbursement lands on the 15th without fail, and my vacancy rate dropped from 14% to 2% in the first year."

"Switching from my previous management company felt like getting off a plane and finally being able to breathe. Steward found a deferred HVAC issue in the first inspection that would have cost me $22,000 in January. The $3,400 repair they caught it at was the best ROI I've had this year."
