Who we are
We help landlords grow the value of what they own.
Your property is an asset, and Krost Property Management Company (KPMCo) manages it like one. That means rent set from market data, fewer empty months, carefully vetted tenants, and small problems fixed before they become expensive ones.
Ilan Krost, a Master Practitioner in Real Estate (MPRE), leads the business and stays hands-on. You deal with someone who knows your property, your tenant and your lease, not a different voice every time you phone.
Every year you can see how your asset is doing: at least two inspections with updated photos, and a full income and expense summary.
Sound familiar?
Whether you manage your own unit, you're tired of your current agent, or you run a complex, these are the problems that cost you time and money. We solve them.
Your rental shouldn’t be a second job.
- Chasing late rent and awkward conversations
- Calls about burst geysers and broken gates, at any hour
- Vetting strangers with no access to credit checks
- Leases, deposits and Rental Housing Act rules to get right
- Levies, rates and utility accounts to track every month
How we fix it: we handle the tenant, the money, the maintenance and the paperwork — you get paid and a clear statement.
Hand it over →Big agency, little attention?
- Calls and emails that go unanswered
- A different person every time you phone
- Deductions you never approved
- Late or confusing statements
- Repairs that drag on for weeks
How we fix it: one named, accountable manager, no-surprise billing, and a monthly statement you can actually read. We manage the switch for you.
Switch to KPMCo →For managing agents, developers and body corporates.
- Units let by many different agents, all with different standards
- Tenants who don’t know or follow the conduct rules
- Move-ins and move-outs that catch security and management off guard
- No single contact when a rental issue comes up
How we fix it: one PPRA-registered rental partner for the units in your complex — vetted tenants briefed on the conduct rules, coordinated moves, and one point of contact.

Rental Property Management
We manage your tenants, collect the rent, pay the accounts and maintain your investment. Already have a tenant? We take over the existing lease.
Rental management page →
Tenant Placement
We find, vet and sign the right tenant: verified income, TPN credit check, and employer and landlord references. You can manage the property yourself afterwards.
Tenant placement page →
Property Sales
An honest asking price backed by market data, qualified buyers, and a smooth process from offer to transfer.
Property sales page →Pick only what you need. Each service stands on its own — you don't need us to find your tenant before we can manage your property, and you can use tenant placement without ongoing management.
Industrial property too. We let and manage industrial units and warehouses across Johannesburg with the same hands-on service: vetted tenants, sound leases, rent collection and maintenance. Fees are quoted per property.

Testimonials
Service and relationships come first. Here's what our clients say.
“We have been extremely happy with the service we have received from Ilan and KPMCo. Ilan is personally involved, highly responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
What stands out most is the hands-on and personal way in which he manages the properties. Communication is excellent, matters are dealt with promptly, and there is a clear focus on both keeping tenants happy and protecting the condition and long-term value of the properties.
It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our properties are being managed with care and attention. We would confidently recommend Ilan and KPMCo to any property owner looking for reliable, professional and genuinely attentive property management.”

“Ilan is incredibly professional and patient in his work. This was the first time I was renting out my property, and he answered all my questions and kept me up to date regularly. He doesn’t over promise and at the same time he works diligently to get the best value and quality of rental.”

Frequently asked questions
Is VAT added to the 8.5% fee?
No. Our management fee is 8.5% of the rent collected, and no VAT is charged on top.
Do I have to use all your services?
No. Each service stands on its own. We can manage a property that already has a tenant, and you can use tenant placement without ongoing management.
Can I move my property from my current agent?
Yes. Check the notice period in your current mandate, and we handle the handover for you: the lease, the records and the deposit, transferred from trust account to trust account.
Where is my tenant’s deposit kept?
In an interest-bearing trust account for the full duration of the lease, never in operating funds.
How do you vet tenants?
A TPN credit check, income verification, and references from the applicant’s employer and most recent landlord. We meet every applicant in person.
Will I be charged for repairs I didn’t approve?
No. You set a cost limit, and any work above it is approved by you before it starts. Emergencies that put health, safety or the property at risk are the only exception.
What reports will I receive?
A monthly income and expense statement, an inspection report with photos at least twice a year, and a year-end summary for your tax return.
Do you work with complexes and developments?
Yes. We act as a single rental partner for managing agents, developers and body corporates, so the units in a complex are let to one consistent standard.
