Why Auburn Homeowners Choose Us
Owning a rental should build wealth quietly in the background — not become a second job. Here’s how we make that happen.
Maximize Your Rental Income
Data-driven pricing built on live Auburn comps, so your home never sits underpriced — or vacant because it was overpriced.
Faster Tenant Placement
Professional photos, syndicated listings, and rigorous screening fill your vacancy fast — guaranteed in 21 days or less.
Stress-Free Ownership
Rent collection, maintenance, inspections, and statements handled. You get a deposit and a clean report every month.
Built for Single-Family Homes
Our service is tailored to Auburn houses and townhomes — not 300-unit apartment complexes.
Auburn Property Management by a Local South Sound Team
From the Auburn Highlands and Kennydale to Fairwood, Benson, and Talbot Hill, we price, market, and manage single-family rentals in every Auburn neighborhood. Our local team is situated in Federal Way — 20 minutes down the road, not a national call center three time zones away. Local knowledge is the difference between a home that leases in two weeks and one that sits empty for two months.
Washington’s rental rules change constantly — and Auburn layers on its own registration and inspection requirements. We keep your rental fully compliant with the Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RCW 59.18) and City of Auburn rental regulations, so you never learn about a rule from a penalty notice.
Next Brick Valley holds a 5.0-star owner rating on Google, and is part of the Next Brick family — whose Bellevue team is rated 4.7 on Google across 295+ reviews.

Long contracts and fees regardless of performance are common in this industry. We put our money where our mouth is.
