The back-office team behind the team.

Arvallis is the operational tail for landlords and property managers — we pick up the phone, dispatch the vendor, follow up with the tenant, and file the notice. So your team can focus on the strategic work.

§ 04 · The honest comparison

DIY, hire someone, or hand it to Arvallis.

There are three ways to handle property operations once a portfolio crosses ~5 doors. Here's how they actually compare.

Option A DIY / owner-operator Option B Hire an in-house assistant Option C Arvallis Recommended
Setup time None — but you are the system 6–10 weeks: hire, onboard, train 2 weeks · runbook + shadow
Hours covered Whenever you're awake 9–5, when not on PTO Business hours + 24/7 on-call
Monthly cost (3–20 units) $0 — but a weekend tax $4,500–7,200 fully loaded $390–$1,900 · scales with doors
Bus-factor 1. You. 1. The hire. A team. With backups.
Vendor network Yours, slowly built Yours, slowly built Yours + our network at rate
Reporting Spreadsheets, when you remember Whatever the hire builds Monthly owner-ready PDFs
Scales to 50+ doors — burnout Possible. Hire #2 incoming. Yes, no headcount change

§ 06 · FAQ

Reasonable questions, answered honestly.

Couldn't find what you were looking for? Email us at hello@arvallis.co — a human reads every one.

Are you software, or are you people?

People. Trained operations staff in a small set of US offices, using your existing PM software (AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, DoorLoop, Hospitable, Guesty, etc.). We don't ask you to migrate anything.

Do you replace my property manager?

Never. We sit behind a property manager or owner-operator and absorb the recurring tail of work — calls, dispatch, follow-ups, paperwork. The relationships, decisions, and brand stay yours.

How does the 60-day pilot work?

You pay the regular per-door rate for two months. We onboard, run the work, and you can walk on day 60 with no further obligation. Most clients renew month-to-month from there.

What software do you work in?

Yours. We're proficient in AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze, DoorLoop, RentManager, Hospitable, Guesty, OwnerRez, and PriceLabs. If you're on something else, we'll learn it.

Who actually picks up the phone?

A trained operator who knows your buildings, your vendor list, and your escalation rules. Not a script-reading call center. You'll know the names of the 1–3 people on your portfolio.

What if a tenant has an emergency at 3am?

The on-call operator triages, dispatches the appropriate vendor from your list (or ours), and notifies you according to your escalation rules. You wake up to a note, not a problem.

Can you handle evictions?

We coordinate the eviction process — notices, timelines, court scheduling, communications — on the Operations+ and Portfolio tiers. We do not appear in court or provide legal advice; we partner with your eviction counsel.

How do you price a mixed long-term + short-term portfolio?

We blend the two tracks on the Portfolio tier with a custom quote. There's no penalty for mixing — most operators of any scale eventually do.

§ Last thing

Hand us the tail.
Keep the part you like.

A 45-minute discovery call. We listen, ask the dumb questions, and tell you honestly whether Arvallis is the right shape for your portfolio. No deck. No follow-up nurture sequence.
