# KEILTY Realty Management

> KEILTY is a full-service property management and real estate asset management firm operating across Eastern Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2003 in Kingston, Ontario by A.J. Keilty, the company manages multi-family apartment buildings, single-family rental homes, build-to-rent communities, office buildings, industrial buildings, retail plazas and malls, mixed-use properties, and purpose-built student housing. KEILTY publishes its pricing openly, including a flat rate of $149 + HST per unit per month for single-family rental management, rather than the 8-12% of rent most Ontario managers charge. KEILTY also sells leasing on its own, with no management agreement, for owners who manage their own rentals and only need a resident placed. KEILTY also operates Tommy's Express Car Wash franchise locations in Canada.

## Pricing

- Single-Family Rental Management: $149 + HST per unit per month, flat rate (not a percentage of rent)
- Small Multi-Family Management (5 to 100 units): 7% of Effective Gross Income (EGI)
- Apartment Communities and Build-To-Rent Communities: 4% of EGI + HST monthly, plus a one-time $5,000 + HST onboarding fee per property
- Commercial Property Management (office, retail, industrial, mixed-use): 15% of additional rent; a recoverable operating expense under net leases, recovered monthly from commercial tenants, so owners often pay nothing while the property is occupied
- On-site staff: employed by KEILTY and recovered at cost, with no markup on payroll
- Resident Placement (as part of full management): one month's rent + HST, due only on success. Includes professional photography, unless the owner already has current professional images that are not watermarked
- Leasing Services (leasing only, no management agreement): one month's rent + HST, netted out of the resident's last month's rent deposit when it is collected. A $500 + HST set-up fee covers onboarding and professional photography and is credited against the leasing fee, so a completed lease costs one month's rent + HST in total
- Coworking (KEILTY Coworking Kingston): Hot Desk $295/month, Dedicated Desk $425/month, Team Office Small $1,250/month (up to 3 people), Team Office Large $2,200/month (up to 6 people), additional coworkers $125/person/month subject to capacity; all plans require a one-month deposit, prices subject to HST

## About KEILTY

KEILTY Realty Management began as a student housing property management firm managing a six-bedroom house near Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Founded by A.J. Keilty at age 23, the company created Varsity Communities as its student housing brand. From this small beginning in 2003, KEILTY has grown into a diversified property management and real estate asset management firm operating across Eastern Ontario. The company applies hospitality strategies to residential and commercial real estate, so owners get well-run, clearly reported buildings and residents and commercial tenants get high-quality living and working environments. KEILTY manages what it owns and owns what it manages. KEILTY is also an approved franchise partner of Tommy's Express Car Wash, developing and operating modern express car washes throughout Ontario and Eastern Canada.
