How the numbers work

Every figure comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, measured against other Austin property managers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from over a thousand people counts for more than a 5.0 from a few hundred. Recency shows how recently customers still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How property management fees work in Austin (2026)

We found no sourced Austin fee schedule for these firms, so we list no numbers.
