Why University City
University City is one of St. Louis County’s deepest rental markets — brick flats, condos and single-family homes, with the Delmar Loop and Washington University nearby keeping demand steady year-round. Leases here often track the academic calendar, which rewards owners who plan turns and renewals ahead instead of reacting to them.
What we manage
Residential
Single-family homes, condos and small multifamily across University City and the surrounding St. Louis County communities.
Multi-Family & Commercial
Apartment buildings, duplexes, and retail, office and mixed-use commercial property.
Leasing only
Just need a great tenant? We market, show, screen and place — then hand you the keys.
The Hermann London Standard
Annoyingly particular. On purpose. We’ve managed St. Louis-area property since 2008 the same way: sweat the details, keep the books clean, and tell owners the truth — even when it isn’t what they hoped to hear.
- Your books, reviewed by an independent CPA firm. Not an employee checking our own work.
- Thorough, consistent tenant screening. Credit, background, income and rental history — applied the same fair-housing way to every applicant.
- A local team that actually answers. Real people here in the metro, not a call center three states away.
How it works
- Free rental analysis — tell us about your University City property and we’ll show you what it should rent for.
- We market & place a tenant — professional listing, showings and rigorous screening.
- We manage, you get paid — rent, maintenance, reporting and renewals handled, with owner payouts on the 8th and the 21st.
Current market conditions

Already have a property manager in University City?
Most owners who call us already have one — they just can’t get calls returned, feel ignored, don’t understand their statements, or have watched a unit sit vacant too long. Switching is easier than it sounds: tenants stay, lease terms don’t change, and we handle the transition. Here’s what working with us looks like.
Do University City leases follow the school year?
Many do — proximity to Washington University means summer is the busy season for turns. We plan renewals and make-readies around that calendar so units re-lease quickly instead of sitting through the fall.
Do you manage properties throughout St. Louis County?
Yes — University City and the surrounding communities, plus the rest of the St. Louis metro including St. Charles County.
What does management cost?
Every property, owner and situation is different, so we price fairly based on those factors rather than a one-size-fits-all number. We’re not trying to be the cheapest company in town — we’d rather be the best communicators with the best results. Your free rental analysis includes a clear quote for your property.
How do I know the accounting is right?
An independent CPA firm reviews our books. You get an itemized monthly statement, 24/7 owner portal access, owner payouts on the 8th and the 21st, and your 1099 filed electronically each year.
More questions owners ask
How long should it take to rent my property?
It depends on price, condition and location, and we will tell you honestly which of those three is the problem. What should not happen is a unit sitting for months with no change in strategy.
What does vacancy actually cost me?
More than almost any fee. One vacant month on a $1,500 rental is $1,500, gone and unrecoverable. A manager who saves you 1% on the management fee but leaves the unit empty an extra month has cost you many times what they saved.
My rental has been listed for weeks with no applications. Why?
Almost always price, photos or condition, in that order. A manager who will not tell you your price is too high is not protecting your income; they are protecting an uncomfortable conversation.
Can I switch property managers mid-lease?
Yes. Tenants stay, lease terms do not change, and management transfers.
