Portland brick multi-unit building with arched windows
Service / Long-term rentals

Property management for
long-term rentals.

You're not managing an investment. You're managing a to-do list. We take it off your plate — with transparent fees and no vendor markup.

Why Anchor

Why owners switch to Anchor.

No vendor markup.
Most managers add 10–15% to every invoice. On $10k/year in maintenance, that's $1,500 you'd never see itemized. Anchor charges 0%.
Maximized occupancy.
Professional marketing, thorough screening, and rental systems that keep cash flow steady.
Time back, stress down.
No more 24/7 on-call, midnight emergencies, rent-collection chases, or tenant conflicts.
Legal & compliance protection.
Expert knowledge of Maine landlord-tenant law prevents costly lawsuits and discrimination claims.
Built for Maine.
We serve multi-unit owners across the West End, Munjoy Hill, East Bayside, Parkside, and throughout Southern Maine.
01

Core property management

The foundation — day-to-day operations of your property.

  • Rent collection and owner disbursements
  • Tenant communication and issue resolution
  • Vendor scheduling and follow-up
  • Regular financial reporting
  • Owner portal for documents and statements
02

Compliance management

City and state rental rules are complex and always changing. Compliance is a dedicated service, not an assumption.

  • Registration and renewal tracking
  • Inspection coordination and documentation
  • Required notices and regulatory timelines
  • Rent control compliance support
  • Annual compliance review

Portland's rent stabilization ordinance requires CPI-based increase tracking, 90-day notices, and annual registration. We monitor it for every property we manage.

03

Leasing & tenant placement

A real marketing funnel — not a hope that someone finds your listing.

  • Professional marketing and showings
  • Applicant screening
  • Lease preparation and execution
  • Move-in documentation and compliance checklist

Year-one leasing referred to Vitalius Real Estate Group, a licensed partner.

04

Lease renewals & rent review

Renewals handled intentionally, not automatically.

  • Market review and rent recommendations
  • Tenant communication and execution
  • Renewal documentation
05

Maintenance coordination

Licensed, insured local vendors. Transparency at every step.

  • Vendor coordination and scheduling
  • Clear approval thresholds
  • Emergency response oversight
  • Full visibility through the owner portal
06

Owner reporting & visibility

Reporting designed to be useful, not overwhelming.

  • Monthly financial statements
  • Year-to-date reporting
  • Document storage and access
  • Clear maintenance and compliance records
Pricing

Rental management is priced as a percentage of collected rent with a clear per-unit minimum. No hourly emergency rates. No vendor markups. Pricing is outlined in full during your proposal.
