Malik AndersonAs a lessor, one of my struggles at the start of my side hustle was finding a trustworthy property manager. I guess when there’s a lot of money on the line, you start to wonder whether or not the property manager is just in it for the cash flow.
That’s why I’m thankful to find some property management companies here in Oklahoma that have trustworthy managers who are competent at the same time. It was a struggle to find one, however, and that’s what I aim to help you with in this review!
From handling repairs to minimizing legal risks, the tasks of these managers are deemed too stressful for the average Joe. Whether you’re a lessor or a tenant, finding the right property management company is essential, so keep reading!
What is the average rate of property management companies in Oklahoma?
rty management companies in Oklahoma charge somewhere between the 8% to 12% range of the monthly rental income of the lessor. However, they can also charge other fees like lease renewals, maintenance coordination, management fees, etc.

Real Property Management Enterprises is among the most well-known property management companies in OKC, having over 1,000 positive reviews online. However, we wanted to hear from their clients first-hand, so we held interviews—and we’ve gotten mostly positive words!
One of the things they praised is the company’s wide range of services that benefit both tenants and lessors. For starters, they’ll shoulder everything from the lessors’ responsibilities, from advertising their listings to evicting violating tenants, maintaining properties, etc.
We’ve also gotten a hold of their current tenants, and one of their consensus is the responsiveness of their management.
Several of them have encountered problems with their properties, but they were still pleased with how fast the management was able to provide repairs.
Lessors also appreciate Real Property Management Enterprises for their ability to fill vacancies quickly. We wanted to see how they do this for ourselves, and we discovered through a phone call that they offer lower vacancy rates.
Lastly, while we appreciate their transparent fee structure, some property owners told us how they would like it if the managers lowered the percentage they take from rents.
Responsive and understanding
“Working with Brenda on our leasing process was so smooth and great! She was so responsive and understanding throughout the whole process. We were able to complete everything with her quickly and seamlessly!”

2. OKC Home Realty Services
Services: Property management, tenant screening, inspections, rent collections, marketing
Location: 2532 W I 44 Service Rd
Contact: +1 405-232-5800
Business hours: Open 24 hours
When it comes to experience, OKC Home Realty Services may be the cream of the crop, having been in the industry for 20+ years. Throughout these years, they’ve built themselves quite a reputation, as they’re trusted by their clients to provide steady earnings.
We sat down with their clients and they spoke fondly about working seamlessly with the company’s managers. They’ve described them as reliable and efficient when it comes to filling vacancies quickly, thanks to their relationship-building skills with tenants.
Their tenant screening process is nothing to look past either. Aside from the usual income verification and credit history, they also check their criminal backgrounds, rental history and eviction records.
Another thing that their clients attribute to this company’s seamlessness is the complete set of services they offer. Upon consultation (which they offer for free), they’ll handle everything, from marketing to rent collections, inspections, maintenance, etc.
The only complaint we’ve heard from their current clients is that they sometimes take too long to respond to their messages and maintenance requests.
Communicative, reliable, and efficient
“OKC Home Realty has managed my rental property for two years. I have found them communicative, reliable, and efficient. They have taken over all of the property issues an owner might have.
They found a qualified tenant, set up an easy-to-use connection online, deposited my money in a timely manner, and completed any repair issues with my being consulted first.
I highly recommend this company.”

Super helpful
“Fran was super helpful. I could always call with questions, and she and her staff were quick to get back to me via phone or text. While walking through a potential unit, I noticed a few maintenance issues and pointed them out, and they fixed them immediately.
Although we didn’t go with the rental, we had a good experience.”

3. Luxe Sales and Management
Services: Maintenance, management, eviction, rent protection
Location: 13112 N MacArthur Blvd.
Contact: +1 405-506-0653
Business hours:
- Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM
- Tuesday and Thursday: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Luxe Sales and Management was one of our first candidates because of their guarantees for both tenants and lessors. Among these, the eviction guarantee caught our attention the most, which was elaborated by a handful of their property owners during our interviews.
In this guarantee, Luxe promises to shoulder the court filing fees amounting to $1,000 if the lessor wants to evict the tenant screened by the property manager. This gave us the impression that the company knows how to take accountability for their mistakes.
We also like the convenient online statement portal they offer for both tenants and property owners. Speaking of payments, Luxe Sales has been highlighted by their clients as being reliable when it comes to providing a steady stream of returns on investments.
However, we’re disappointed about hearing several complaints from their previous clients. These include issues regarding their unresponsiveness, delayed repairs, etc.
Also, we think that it would benefit both the company and potential clients if Luxe Sales could provide more in-depth details regarding their services on their website.
Amazing professional team
“Amazing experience with Luxe Sales & Management over a 3-year course. Hope is who I primarily communicated with, she is one of the sweetest, professional & thorough property managers. Even when my lease was up, Hope handled business!
I never had any issues, maybe one serious maintenance, and they handled it properly. I’ve also spoken to the owner, Crystal and other members, Jewel and Dara.
They have an amazing professional team, and I’m thankful I was able to do business with them. Their office is beautiful and well-kept.
Communication is very important to me, and they always responded via text portal or email in a timely manner. Thank you, Luxe, I love and appreciate you all SO much!!! If you all lease from them, take care of your property, these are good people!”

Well worth the cost, every single time
“I would like to write a review on how wonderful this company is. Dara and Chasity went out of their way to help my parents move into a one-story home. My mother’s health was declining, and she was no longer able to climb the stairs in her current home.
They worked fast and diligently to help my elderly parents find a nice duplex that would fit their needs but still be close to my home. I really appreciate the care and empathy that they took in helping my elderly parents find something that would be safe and comfortable for them to live in.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company and the people that work there, they truly care about their residents and make you feel like family.”

4. Draper Realty and Construction
Services: Rental analysis, maintenance and repairs, management, rent collection, reporting, screening
Location: 911 N Lahoma Ave.
Contact: +1 405-401-8100
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Friday: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Draper Realty and Construction was recommended to us by a friend who recently leased their condo unit. One thing she said about this company that attracted our attention was its in-depth marketing strategies that allowed it to quickly find a tenant.
We were pleased when we discovered that their marketing program doesn’t just involve putting the listing on their website. Their service included traditional methods like putting up ads in newspapers and providing for rent signs, as well as modern means like social media campaigns.
Their regulars have also praised the inclusion of the management services. More specifically, they’ve praised the company’s fine screening with their tenants, as they check everything thoroughly, from the employment status to the credit history, etc.
One of the downsides in our books is the slightly inconvenient location, as their offices are quite far from Oklahoma’s downtown area. Furthermore, their operating hours are quite limited since they’re only open on weekdays.
This can be a hassle for required face-to-face meetups like passing requirements, but fortunately, they make up for these by offering an online owner portal where owners can access reports of their property managers 24/7.
Had no complaints with our experience
“We’re going on two years of renting a house with Draper, and we have had no complaints with our experience. Any time we have had an issue, Draper goes above and beyond to fix it. They respond so quickly to any issue or question.
We work a lot with Shel, and she is the best! I would definitely recommend renting with Draper.”
Mariana Houston, Google Review
Professional and helpful
“I am about to finish my first full year with Draper Realty and Construction as a tenant. Everyone at Draper has been so professional and helpful throughout my renting process. The home I moved into was professionally cleaned and looked like a brand new home.
Since moving in, any issues that have come up have been dealt with within a few days of making a report! I look forward to renting with Draper for another year!”

5. LevelOne Property Management & Leasing
Services: Maintenance and repairs, leasing, monthly reporting, accounting
Location: 5900 Mosteller Dr UNIT 1
Contact: +1 405-849-9998
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
LevelOne Property Management & Leasing offers one of the most convenient management services in Oklahoma, thanks to its online portal for both tenants and lessors. From the tenant’s POV, this portal is used to make scheduled payments and request maintenance and repairs.
Meanwhile, lessors can conveniently use this portal to pay HOAs on time and track monthly reports from their LevelOne managers. We also want to highlight the reports they provide because they’re always on time, and feature detailed information like earnings.
Going back to their maintenance and repairs online application service, we appreciate the convenience and timeliness of their managers. Several of their clients noted during our interviews how they didn’t wait for weeks just for LevelOne to address their repair request.
This brings us to one of their best assets, seamless communication. The most noticeable consensus we’ve noticed with our interviews was the responsiveness of the managers, with clients noting how they received replies even late at night.
Our only gripe is its marketing services, or the lack thereof. We think that they could improve on this more as opposed to just posting lessors’ listings on their website.
Professionalism and reliability are unmatched
“I have been working with Welcome Home for years, and Scott Evans has been absolutely amazing in managing my three properties. His professionalism and reliability are unmatched, and he’s always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small.
Living out of the country, it’s incredibly reassuring to know that my properties are in such capable hands. I highly recommend Scott and the Welcome Home team for their exceptional service!”

Her positive attitude and patience relieved any reservations we had
“Our experience with Brittany was absolutely wonderful. We were a little apprehensive when we began looking for a new property management company, but her positive attitude and patience with us immediately relieved any reservations we had.
I look forward to continuing to work with her as our business relationship grows with LevelOne.”
