West Central Illinois Property Management

We tackle the hard parts of rental property ownership.

Owning rentals should build wealth — not create daily headaches. Wishtan HomeServices helps local owners protect their investment, reduce stress, and save time. Here's what that looks like.

Locally owned and led by Kelsey Hicks, Managing Broker, and Dakota Hicks, Owner — right here in West Central Illinois.

Common questions

The things owners ask us first.

What does property management cost?
Monthly management is 12% of collected rent for single-family homes, with volume pricing for multifamily buildings of five units and up. We also offer a fee-match guarantee — find a lower rate from a comparable full-service manager and we'll match it. The full fee schedule is shared before you sign, with no hidden charges or surprise fees.
How do you handle maintenance and repairs?
A dedicated maintenance coordinator triages every request, dispatches vetted local vendors, and documents the work. You're kept informed on anything significant, but you're not the one fielding the late-night calls.
Can tenants reach someone after hours?
Yes. We staff a 24/7 support line for both leasing questions and emergency maintenance — so a prospective renter never hits a dead end, and a real emergency never waits until morning.
How quickly can you fill a vacancy?
We market across the rental platforms tenants actually use, screen applicants thoroughly, and handle showings and lease signing. Our average occupancy runs above 90% — keeping your property earning rather than sitting empty.
What if I'm not happy with the service?
Our agreement runs a 6-month initial term and then continues month-to-month, cancellable anytime with 30 days' notice. Our Happiness Guarantee means we'd rather earn your business each month than lock you into a long contract.
