Property Management
Denver's diverse economy, outdoor lifestyle, and steady stream of incoming residents create one of Colorado's most dependable rental markets — drawing young professionals, growing families, and downsizing retirees alike. As a family-owned property management company rooted in the Denver metro since 1961, Bergan & Company knows this city block by block, from Capitol Hill's century-old bungalows to the modern townhomes rising along the South Platte. If you own a rental property in Denver — or are thinking about adding one — we bring three generations of local expertise to protect your investment and keep it performing.

Denver draws renters from across the country and around the world. The city's job market is genuinely broad — anchored by major employers like Lockheed Martin, DaVita, UCHealth, and a fast-growing technology sector — which means demand for quality rental housing rarely goes quiet. Add in the University of Colorado Denver campus downtown and a light rail network that reaches from Union Station to Denver International Airport, and you have a city where renters can live without a car and still reach work, culture, and recreation with ease.
The tenant pool reflects that diversity. You will find dual-income couples renting in Stapleton while they save for a home, single tech workers choosing a walkable RiNo loft over a long commute, retirees downsizing into a Cherry Creek condo, and families planting roots in Park Hill near well-regarded Denver Public Schools. Homes we currently manage in Denver rent from $1,450 to $3,095 per month, spanning that broad range of tenant budgets and property types. A skilled property manager helps you price precisely for your specific asset — not just the zip code. Start with our free rental analysis to see where your property fits today's market.
Denver is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and understanding each one helps you attract the right tenants, price accurately, and make smart renovation decisions. Here is what matters most from an owner's perspective.
Historic Victorian and Craftsman homes line the streets of Capitol Hill, just east of the state capitol building. The neighborhood draws artists, young professionals, and graduate students who value walkability and character. Rents tend to be strong relative to acquisition costs on older multifamily stock, and proximity to Colfax Avenue's restaurants, music venues, and coffee shops keeps vacancy low.
RiNo has transformed from an industrial corridor into one of Denver's most talked-about neighborhoods. Tech workers, designers, and creative professionals gravitate here for the breweries, galleries, and easy access to I-70 and the A-Line commuter rail. New construction townhomes and converted warehouse lofts both lease quickly, and tenants in this area often have strong incomes and stable employment.
Built on the former Stapleton Airport site and now known as Central Park, this master-planned community is a magnet for families. Wide streets, neighborhood parks, and highly regarded schools within Denver Public Schools make it competitive for long-term tenants. Single-family homes and newer townhomes here tend to attract renters who treat the property with care and stay for multiple lease terms.
The Highlands — spanning both LoHi and the Berkeley pocket to the north — offers walkable streets, mountain views, and some of Denver's best dining along 32nd Avenue. Professionals and young couples are drawn here, and the neighborhood's proximity to downtown via the pedestrian bridge over the Platte makes it a perennial favorite. Well-maintained bungalows and half-duplexes lease quickly at strong rates.
Park Hill is one of Denver's most established and diverse neighborhoods, offering good RTD bus access, proximity to City Park, and a strong sense of community. The Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature and Science are practically in residents' backyards. Families and long-term renters make up a large share of the tenant pool here, which translates to stability for owners.
Cherry Creek attracts executives, empty nesters, and high-earning professionals who want walkable access to Cherry Creek Mall, top-rated restaurants, and the Cherry Creek Trail. Luxury condos and townhomes dominate here. Tenants typically expect high-end finishes and responsive management — which is exactly the level of service Bergan & Company is built to deliver.
Washington Park draws outdoor-oriented renters who want immediate access to one of Denver's most beloved green spaces — 165 acres of trails, tennis courts, and flower gardens. The Baker neighborhood just to the west offers craftsman-era homes and walkable South Broadway's eclectic retail corridor, attracting younger renters with an eye for character.
Denver renters are informed and have options. If your property is not competitive on condition and amenities, it will sit. Here is what consistently makes a difference at the leasing table in this market.

Denver has specific requirements for rental property owners that go beyond basic landlord responsibilities. The city requires rental properties to be registered and inspected under its licensing program, and Colorado's warranty of habitability rules place real obligations on landlords to maintain safe and livable conditions. HOA communities — common in newer Denver developments — add another layer of rules around leasing, tenant behavior, and exterior maintenance. Navigating all of this takes time and local knowledge.
Colorado's climate also creates a predictable maintenance calendar. Spring brings snow melt, drainage issues, and roof inspections. Summer demands attention to HVAC and landscaping. Fall is the time to service furnaces, seal windows, and clear gutters before the first hard freeze. Winter in Denver can be deceptively mild one week and brutal the next — a 24/7 emergency maintenance line is not optional if you want to protect your investment and your tenant relationship.
Our property management services handle all of it — licensing compliance, HOA communication, vetted contractor dispatch, and seasonal maintenance coordination — so you can own property in Denver without making it a second job. We are also happy to serve owners investing from out of state, providing the local presence and accountability that long-distance ownership demands.
We believe property owners deserve to know exactly what they are paying before they sign anything. There are no upfront fees to get started with Bergan & Company, and our fee structure is straightforward.
We back every management relationship with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 12-month lease guarantee on the tenants we place. If a tenant we screen and place does not complete their first lease term, we re-lease the property at no additional leasing fee. See our full pricing page for complete details.
Bergan & Company was founded in 1961 by Wally Johnson. Today, his son Jay Bergan and grandson Cody Bergan lead the company — three generations of a family that has watched Denver grow from a mid-sized western city into one of the most sought-after metro areas in the country. That history is not a marketing line. It means we have managed through every market cycle Denver has seen, and we bring that institutional knowledge to every owner relationship.
Our performance numbers reflect a disciplined, hands-on approach. We maintain a 95% occupancy rate across our portfolio, a 1% delinquency rate, and typically fill vacancies within two to three weeks. We meet every prospective tenant in person — no self-guided showings — and put every applicant through credit checks, background checks, and income verification at three times the monthly rent. Our listings go out to more than 40 syndication sites with professional photography, and we show properties seven days a week.
We are also genuinely local. Our office is in Centennial, just south of Denver, and we serve property owners across 19 communities in the Denver metro. If your portfolio extends beyond Denver, we also manage properties in Aurora, Centennial, and throughout the surrounding region. We know the neighborhoods, the contractors, the seasonal rhythms, and the rental laws — and we put all of it to work for you.

Client Reviews
“This company was amazing! We had so many questions and curiosities and they were nothing but patient and responsive in a quick timely manner. I definitely recommend them. The process getting the lease was super speedy and they were very communicative about the house and the process of getting it.”

“Since 2019 Bergen and Company have managed our SFR in Denver and as long as they wish to manage, forever they will be our property manager. As an out of state landlord having worked with many residentail property managers in states CA, NV, NC SC, & CO, Bergen & Company ranks as the best in my experience. Lot of daily problems to resolve to be an effective PM; keeping the property fully occupied with quality tenants and dealing with property upkeep, etc etc. Without drama or adding burden to the owner with overcommunication, Bergen quietly runs the show in an efficient manner. The staff is responsible and ultra communicative when contacted from office support Kendra, to maintenence up to owner Cody Bergen. Can't speak highly enough of their top quality service. Buildium runs their front facing property management software for owners and internally. GL, income statement, balance sheet etc. No waiting for a bare bones summary statement to know what happened last month with your property, real time reports always ready to download and review. Excellent service, the best accounting reporting, quality staff, competent ownership defines Bergen and Co. They take the stress and worry out of managing your real asset.”

“My roommates and I are moving out of our college dorm and were looking to rent a house all together. As young college kids we had no prior expereience in navigating rental properties. Our leasing agent, Laurel Zeman, was a dream throughout this whole process. Many emails back and forth, phone calls to answer my million questions, and willingness to explain the whole process, and pretty much hold my hand throughout renting a house for the first time. She made things really easy to understand and worked with our tricky move in date. I have always heard bad things about leasing houses and the painful process of getting one but that was not my experience. Things moved super quickly and efficiently. Now my roommates are I are so excited to move in. Huge thank you to Laurel and Bergan& CO”
