From the founder
“Ask owners what they dislike about their property manager and you hear the same three things: fees they didn’t see coming, rent that takes weeks to reach them, and repair bills with a markup buried inside. Blue Anchor is built so you never have to say any of them.”
Andrew Fothergill
Founder · Quinte West Chamber of Commerce board
What owners tell us they want
Transparency, communication and accountability.
Transparency
Every fee is published, repairs are billed at cost, and your agreement is written in plain language. You see what we see.
Communication
Calls are answered day and night, and maintenance updates reach you without you having to chase them.
Accountability
Properties are inspected, repairs are documented with photos, and your statement shows where every dollar went.
Tenants who stay
Fast repairs and clear communication keep good tenants renewing, which means less vacancy and more rent in your pocket.
Why owners switch to us
An agreement written so the fine print works for you.
Most management agreements look alike until a unit sits empty, a furnace dies, or rent comes in late. Those are the moments we built our pricing around.
Marketed by Blue Anchor
Sent by the 15th, same month
Rent that lands on the 1st is sent to you by the 15th, and we aim for the 10th. Many larger firms pay on the 10th of the following month, so your money sits with them for weeks.
No fee while it sits empty
On Standard you pay 5% of rent actually collected. No rent, no management fee. We only do well when your unit is rented.
No markup on repairs
You pay the trade's invoice as billed, plus a flat $25 to coordinate the work. Nothing skimmed off the top of a $4,000 furnace.

Andrew was very nice. He knows I Injured myself and didn’t rush anything. If there were any issues he could fix himself he did with ease and no questions asked. He answered all of my questions with confidence and when he couldn’t figure it out he said he’s sending it to Rachelle lol definitely an amazing experience
