From our own leasing and payment records · as of October 2026
Transparency, communication and accountability.
Transparency
Every fee is published, repairs are billed at cost, and your agreement is written in plain language. You see what we see.
Communication
Calls are answered day and night, and maintenance updates reach you without you having to chase them.
Accountability
Properties are inspected, repairs are documented with photos, and your statement shows where every dollar went.
Tenants who stay
Fast repairs and clear communication keep good tenants renewing, which means less vacancy and more rent in your pocket.
An agreement written so the fine print works for you.
Most management agreements look alike until a unit sits empty, a furnace dies, or rent comes in late. Those are the moments we built our pricing around.
Compare the plans
Sent by the 15th, same month
Rent that lands on the 1st is sent to you by the 15th, and we aim for the 10th. Many larger firms pay on the 10th of the following month, so your money sits with them for weeks.
No fee while it sits empty
On Standard you pay 5% of rent actually collected. No rent, no management fee. We only do well when your unit is rented.
No markup on repairs
You pay the trade's invoice as billed, plus a flat $25 to coordinate the work. Nothing skimmed off the top of a $4,000 furnace.
Run the numbers on your property.

I have used Blue Anchor for over a year now to manage a multi unit residential building that I own in Trenton. They have been very professional and knowledgeable when dealing with my tenants as well as my company.
I have 2 properties managed by Blue anchor!!! I’ve had a positive experience working with this property management company. Communication has been clear and timely, and any maintenance issues were handled efficiently. I appreciate their professionalism and responsiveness, especially when it comes to tenant concerns and property upkeep. Overall, they provide reliable service and make the ownership/tenancy experience smoother.
Andrew and his team are wonderful!! This property management company sets a high standard. They are organized, proactive, and responsive. Maintenance requests are addressed quickly, communication is consistent, and there’s transparency in how issues are handled. It’s clear they take their responsibilities seriously and genuinely care about maintaining the property well. I would confidently recommend them.
What does property management cost in Ontario?
Most Ontario managers charge a percentage of rent or a flat monthly fee, plus leasing and add-on fees. Ours is 5% of collected rent on Standard or $295 per unit on Platinum, with every add-on published. Every fee, line by line →
Can I switch managers if I already have a tenant?
Yes. The tenancy continues and the lease stays in force. We collect the records and deposit from your current manager and introduce ourselves to your tenant.
When do I get paid?
We send owner payments by the 15th of the same month the rent is collected, and aim for the 10th. Your monthly statement is in your owner portal. Why the payment date matters →
Do you manage short-term rentals?
No. We manage long-term residential rentals only, from single units to small apartment buildings.
Why we exist
Blue Anchor exists so rental owners in Quinte, Northumberland and Durham can own property without it running their lives, and so their tenants get a well-kept home and a straight answer. We work on extreme ownership and constant communication: every fee is published, every step is reported, and problems get handled, not passed along.
