Frequently Asked Questions

What services does CleanCRE provide?

We provide outsourced accounting and back-office support for commercial real estate portfolios, including property onboarding, tenant and vendor setup, lease administration, bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, monthly financial reporting, and property management software administration.

What is the pricing structure?

Every portfolio is different. Pricing depends on factors such as property count, transaction volume, ownership structure, and reporting requirements. Please contact us for a tailored quote.

What software do you work with?

We work primarily in AppFolio and are highly experienced with its accounting and reporting workflows. We can also accommodate other major real estate accounting and property management platforms.

Do you communicate directly with tenants and vendors?

No. Our role is focused exclusively on financial operations and accounting. We maintain tenant and vendor records within your accounting and property management systems, but all tenant relations, vendor coordination, maintenance requests, and operational matters remain with the property manager or ownership team.

Can you work alongside our existing property manager?

Yes. Many clients use us as an outsourced accounting department while retaining their existing property managers, leasing teams, and operational staff.

We've worked with CleanCRE for over two years. Our books are clean, reports are on time, and questions get answered fast.
