What Makes Us Better?

As one of the Twin Cities' largest and most experienced property management companies, we have many advantages to offer you over the competition:

Years of Experience

"We have been beyond pleased with the service we have received from REI. Renting out our home seemed like a scary and uncertain venture, but our REI property manager put me at ease in our first meeting. She was far more knowledgeable and personable than any of the other competitors I met with. We had our property listed within days of our first meeting and had a steady stream of showings. Our property manager helped us assess what type of renters we wanted and answered all of my questions quickly (and gave me information to questions I wouldn't have thought to ask)! Our experience has been nothing but positive and I would recommend REI to anyone. They really have your best interests in mind and take all of the stress out of renting your home!"
- Alissa T., Minneapolis

Having managed thousands of properties, leases and tenants over the years has provided us with unmatched experience in dealing with almost any situation that may be encountered when renting a property. REI founders Steve and Laura Rajavuori have managed their own personal rental properties for over 14 years.

Licensed Professionals

Your property will be leased and managed by a professional licensed real estate agent. We are a licensed full-service real estate brokerage, and we are members of the National Association of Residential Property Managers and the National Association of Realtors.

Coverage for the ENTIRE Twin Cities area - and beyond!

We have licensed agents working all over the 9-county metro area and southeastern Minnesota, and we are rapidly expanding to other cities. Because each agent works in an area that is geographically close to them we are able to provide expertise and market knowledge for nearly every city and neighborhood!

Great Exposure for your Rental Listing

Listings get great visibility from our Web site, which records over 18,000 unique hits per month! We also advertise on all the top paid and free rental web sites. We include all advertising costs in our one simple fee!

High Visibility Leads to Fast Tenant Placement

Great visibility for our company with our high rankings on Google and our radio partnership with KTIS Radio (98.5 FM)!

Review Property and Market Conditions

We stay in contact with you to monitor your needs and the real estate market conditions, to determine whether to keep renting the property, or prepare to sell.

Personal Connection

We assign one designated licensed agent to your property. That person will be the main contact for both you and the tenants, allowing them to get to know you and the property.

We Conduct Showings Personally

The designated agent will personally conduct all showings to prospective tenants. We never use lockboxes and never allow unattended showings.

No Hidden Fees!

We charge one fee for finding a tenant and one monthly fee for management. That's it! No advertising fees, no upcharges for maintenance, no fees for direct deposit, no fees for sending tax documents - nothing else!

No Upcharge for Maintenance

We do not employ maintenance staff, so we have nothing to gain financially from repairs. Instead, we arrange for repairs from a list of preferred vendors that are known to do good work for reasonable prices. You pay only the actual cost of the repair.

"A+" Rating with the Better Business Bureau

As members of the BBB since 2007 we have consistently maintained positive relationships with our customers, as shown by our superior "A+" rating.

Tenant Guarantee

If the tenant we place breaks the lease in the first six months of occupancy we will find new tenants at no charge to you!

The Twin Cities' Leader!

By the end of 2014 we were managing over 930 properties and continuing to grow. Our size and experience are unmatched!
