Property Owner Testimonials

Don’t take our word for it – here’s what owners say about our property management services in Philadelphia:

I switched over my portfolio to Otter Property Management from one of the big PM firms in the Philadelphia area about a year and a half ago. I have been totally impressed with their responsiveness, lack of bs fees/charges, and my profitability during their watch…highly recommend

Ross Y.

So glad I found them as a management company. Super helpful, responsive, and on top of things. Honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without Kevin and his team especially when dealing with some complicated issues last year. I thoroughly appreciate their transparency also. A lot of management companies get a bad rap but I genuinely recommend Otter!

Ryan R.

Such an amazing property management company. I’m so thankful I’ve come across them during the pandemic when I had issues with my rental. Very knowledgeable and great to work with. Kevin is super responsive and professional. If you need a property manager, look no further! You will be in good hands. Highly recommended!
