What makes TerraVestra different from other property management companies in NJ?

We own 130+ doors of our own and manage 850+ units across six South Jersey counties. Decisions get made by people who own rentals, not a call center. We also take the hard cases most managers pass on: occupied properties, problem tenants, and deferred maintenance.

Property Management Services

Full-service property management, run by people who own doors.

Most owners don't want a portal and a hotline. They want the vacancy filled, the rent in the account, and the 2am maintenance call handled without them. TerraVestra is a South Jersey property management company built by landlords with 130+ doors of our own. We run the whole job, from leasing to the monthly statement, so a rental behaves like an investment instead of a second job.

What's Included

Everything a property management company should actually do.

Some managers collect a fee and forward your emails. Our services are all-in: one team owns leasing, money, maintenance, and compliance, and you see all of it on a statement every month. Here is the full scope.

Leasing & Tenants

Filling vacancies and placing tenantsMarketing, showings, and a screening pipeline that keeps units from sitting. We screen hard to keep fraudulent applications and bad-fit tenants out, because a wrong placement costs you far more than an extra week vacant. Units fill in weeks, not months.
Rent collection and delinquencyRent gets collected, posted, and deposited on schedule. When a tenant falls behind, we work the balance early instead of letting three months pile up, and we start the legal clock when it needs to start.
Leases, renewals, and depositsNJ-compliant leases, renewals timed before they lapse, and security deposits held and returned by the book. No handshake paperwork that falls apart in front of a judge.

Maintenance, Evictions & Compliance

Repairs and maintenanceA team with real construction and maintenance backgrounds, plus a sister maintenance company and vetted vendors used to working around tenants who still live in the unit. Work orders over $1,000 come to you for approval with the diagnosis and market pricing before a wrench turns.
EvictionsWhen a tenancy fails, the New Jersey process applies and we run it end to end: we file, we appear, we resolve, and we turn and re-rent the unit.
COs, rental registrations, and violationsCertificates of occupancy, rental registrations, and municipal inspections, tracked township by township. Notices of violation get resolved, not left in a drawer until they turn into fines.
Section 8 administrationVoucher rent is guaranteed rent, and we treat it that way. Inspections, RFTAs, and PHA paperwork are our specialty, with no Section 8 surcharge on the fee. Full detail on the Section 8 property management page.

Reporting You Can Actually Read

Monthly financial statements

Rent in, expenses out, every month, in a statement that makes sense at a glance.

Photo repair reports

You see what we saw and what we fixed, with photos, on every job.

Bill pay from proceeds

Utilities and vendor invoices paid from rent and itemized, so nothing slips.

Inherited a mess? We take the hard cases.

Occupied properties, problem tenants, deferred maintenance, a manager who quit answering the phone. Distressed turnarounds are one of the things we do best, and most companies pass on them. We walk it, price the turnaround honestly, and get the property producing.

What It Costs

Fees you can see, not fees you find later.

The fastest way to resent your property manager is to pay a percentage every month and have no idea what it bought. We quote the management fee in writing on the walkthrough, before you sign, and then we keep the money side boring and visible.

A written fee, up frontYou get the management fee in writing before there is an agreement to sign. No moving target, no reading it off a statement three months in.
Your approval over $1,000Repairs above $1,000 do not happen without your sign-off. You see the problem, the recommendation, and market pricing first, then you decide.
No markup gamesThird-party trades are billed at cost with no hidden margin, and every line is itemized on your monthly statement. What you paid for is never a mystery.
No Section 8 surchargeVoucher units cost the same to manage as any other. We do not charge extra for the paperwork we are already better at than anyone in South Jersey.

Where We Manage

Services FAQ

Asked by owners, answered straight.

What does full-service property management include?

Leasing and tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance and repairs, evictions when a tenancy fails, certificates of occupancy and rental registrations, bill paying from rent proceeds, and a monthly financial statement. Section 8 administration is included with no surcharge. If it touches your rental, it is our job, not yours.

How much does a property management company charge?

You get a written management fee on the walkthrough, before you sign anything. Work orders over $1,000 need your approval first, third-party trades are billed with no markup, and everything is itemized on your monthly statement. There is no separate Section 8 surcharge. We would rather quote you an honest number than win you with a low one and make it back in hidden fees.

What makes you different from other property management companies in NJ?

We own 130+ doors of our own and manage 850+ units across six South Jersey counties. Every decision gets made by people who own rentals and feel a bad month the same way you do, not a junior account rep in a call center. We also take the hard cases most managers refuse: occupied properties, problem tenants, and deferred maintenance.

Do you manage Section 8 rentals?

Yes, and it is our specialty. We have run Section 8 since 2018 and handle inspections, RFTAs, and Housing Choice Voucher paperwork across South Jersey with no Section 8 surcharge. Voucher rent lands on time, every month, which is a large part of why we built the portfolio around it. Full detail on the Section 8 property management page.

I already have a manager. How hard is it to switch?

Easier than staying with the wrong one. We re-paper the management agreement, notify your tenants and the PHA on voucher units, and take over collection and inspection prep. Your tenants get one clean notice with new contacts. Most transitions complete inside a month with no gap in rent.
