Compare · Property managers
A weekly visit samples the risk. Sensors watch all of it.
Property managers do real work — bookings, cleaning coordination, tenant relations. The honest question is whether periodic visits are the right tool for failure detection.
What a property manager is for
Full-service management typically runs $150–300 a month and earns it on operations: guest or tenant management, cleaning, rent, listings. If you need those things, a manager may be the right call — and HavenIQ works fine alongside one.
Where the model has a gap
Failure detection by visit means a leak that starts an hour after Tuesday's walkthrough has until next Tuesday to run. Most developing problems — slow leaks, drifting temperatures, dying sump pumps — are invisible to a walkthrough anyway. Visits sample; they don't supervise.
What HavenIQ does instead
Continuous sensor coverage of water, temperature, and device health, with a trained human assessing every abnormal signal and coordinating dispatch with your authorization — at $99/month, or $79 locked for life as a founding pilot property. If your need is property protection rather than operations, you're paying manager prices for a detection model that mostly isn't there.
