Kanam Realty Group homepage, a custom property management website built by Genesis Flow Labs

A real client site. Not a demo template.

Kanam Realty Group, a DFW property management company, runs on a build like this. Custom design and code, a brand system built from scratch, AppFolio resident and owner portals wired in, online applications, payment flows, and TREC compliance documents.

Their pricing page shows every fee in plain numbers. The same thinking behind this page, built into theirs.

The Industry Default Is Renting

The fine print is where the rent lives.

Most property management websites come from template platforms. You pick a layout, they host it, and you pay every month for as long as you operate.

propertymanagerwebsites.com lists its base plan at $195 a month, with growth plans at $795 and $1,295. Custom work starts at $1,795 on top, and the site still lives on their system. Three years on the base plan is $7,020, and at the end of it the platform is still theirs.

The same growth tier lists at $145 a month if you run the vendor's sister software and $795 if you run anything else. Their ownership language covers the site's HTML code, while the tools that make it work stay on their platform.

That model works well for the vendor. It was built to. There is a simpler structure: pay once for a site built for your company, pay a fair monthly rate to keep it running, and own the whole thing from day one.

What it costs

Three pieces. Take what you need. Every number is on the page because hiding pricing is a sales tactic, not a service.

The Build

From $3,500one time

A custom site designed and built for your company. No templates, no platform, no rented layouts.

  • Custom design and development
  • Resident and owner portal integration (AppFolio, Buildium)
  • Listings, applications, and payment flows
  • State compliance built in (TREC and IABS for Texas)
  • Structured data, llms.txt, and AI-search foundation
  • Ships in 3 to 4 weeks

Starting from scratch is fine. A full brand system (logo, colors, typography) can be added to the build.

Care

$95/mono contract

Everything that keeps the site fast, secure, and current. Cancel anytime. The site stays yours.

  • Hosting, SSL, and daily backups
  • Uptime and security monitoring
  • Content and listing edits every month
  • Monthly traffic report in plain language

propertymanagerwebsites.com charges $195/mo for its base plan. This is less than half, and you are not renting.

Grow

From $1,500/momonth to month

The marketing engine for companies that want the website bringing in doors, not just describing the company.

  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile management
  • AI-drafted, human-edited content published monthly
  • Review monitoring with response drafts
  • Competitor tracking in your market
  • Monthly performance report with real numbers

PM-focused marketing agencies charge $2,000 to $7,000/mo for comparable scope.

Three things to ask any website vendor

  1. 1

    Who owns the site, the code, and the content when you leave.

  2. 2

    What a redesign costs after two years of monthly fees.

  3. 3

    Whether your domain, SEO history, and reviews move with you.

My answers: you do, nothing beyond the work itself, and yes, all of it. Ask the same three of anyone else before you sign.

The honest answers

See what your site should cost

Thirty minutes. You bring your current site and what you pay for it. You leave with a straight answer on what a build would cost, what it would include, and whether it is worth doing.
