One company, one standard, everywhere we manage. Here is how we do it legally in every state.
Property management is regulated state by state. A handful of states allow companies to manage rental homes without a real estate license. Most states require licensed oversight. We built Silvercrest to work correctly in both.
In Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, and Vermont, state law permits unlicensed property management, and we operate there directly.
Everywhere else, we operate through our broker-of-record network: a locally licensed designated broker oversees the licensed activity of our entity in that state, exactly as the state's real estate commission requires.
The network exists so that every home we manage sits under the correct legal structure for its state, while owners deal with one company the whole way through.
Each state entity is overseen by a designated broker licensed in that state. They supervise the licensed activity carried out under their license, the way state law intends.
We hold a separate entity for each state that requires one, registered and structured to meet that state's rules for property management firms.
Rent and security deposits are held in trust accounts that follow each state's handling rules. Your money is kept where the state says it must be kept.
Screening, leases, maintenance, and statements follow the same playbook in every state. The legal wrapper changes; the service does not.
In the six states that permit unlicensed management, our own team runs the properties directly under the same standard, with no extra layers.
Owners sign with Silvercrest, read one style of statement, and reach the same support team no matter which state their property sits in.
The point of the structure is that you never notice it. Whether your rental is in Boise or Baltimore, you get the same onboarding, the same portal, the same monthly statement, and the same people answering your questions. The licensing work happens behind the scenes, and it is our job to keep it current.
If you own property in more than one state, this is where the model earns its keep: one agreement, one login, one company responsible for all of it.
Tell us where your properties are and we will walk you through how each one would be managed.
