EXPERTS IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Ready to help you at ANY time of the day... or night
Extra Property Management looks after rental homes for owners throughout Hopewell Township and the rest of Mercer County. Our office at 354 S Broad St in Trenton is roughly 20 minutes south of Hopewell by Route 31 and I-95 — near enough to walk a vacant single-family home in Brandon Farms, meet a contractor in Titusville, or serve a notice the same afternoon. The 4.8-star rating we hold across 253 Google reviews was earned on the quiet fundamentals: placing screened tenants, collecting rent on time, and keeping owners in the loop.
Full-service residential, HOA & commercial management across Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Burlington, Hunterdon & western Monmouth NJ + Bucks County PA.
Whether you own a single Brandon Farms townhome, an executive home in Hopewell Hunt, or a small portfolio of rentals across the township, we handle the day-to-day so you don't have to. Our residential property management in Hopewell covers the full cycle from vacancy to renewal.
As your leasing agent we photograph and list the home on the portals renters actually use, handle showings, and put every applicant through full tenant screening — credit, verified income, eviction history, and calls to prior landlords. Because the Hopewell Valley Regional schools and the Bristol Myers Squibb and Capital Health payrolls keep the applicant pool deep, we can be selective and place a renter who treats the home well and renews. Our tenant placement services are about the right match, not the fastest one.
Tenant screening processRenters pay online through a portal that sends automatic reminders and applies late fees on schedule, and your proceeds land in your account by direct deposit alongside a plain-English monthly statement. When a payment is late we chase it the same week — small arrears never get the chance to snowball. That steady discipline is what our rent collection services protect for a Hopewell owner.
Rent collection servicesA 1990s Brandon Farms townhome and a century-old Titusville farmhouse ask for very different upkeep, and we treat them that way. Work orders route to tradespeople we have vetted locally, every job stays under a dollar limit you set in advance, and residents can log an issue any hour of the day. On the township's many well-and-septic and older riverfront homes, catching a leak or a failing system early is what keeps a repair from turning into a rebuild.
We document move-in and move-out condition with photos, run periodic interior and exterior checks, and handle the change-of-occupancy smoke, carbon-monoxide, and fire-extinguisher certificate Hopewell Township requires before a new tenant occupies a re-let home. Consistent inspections protect your security-deposit position and catch lease violations early.
When a tenancy breaks down, the case goes to the Mercer County Special Civil Part in Trenton, where the Anti-Eviction Act allows removal only on narrow, named grounds. We carry it through every step — drafting the notice, filing correctly, and coordinating the court date — so an owner is never guessing at deadlines. Better still, the screening we do up front is built to make eviction a tool we rarely have to reach for. Our eviction services take the part owners dread off their plate.
Eviction servicesEvery month you receive a line-itemed statement; every January, a tidy year-end package your accountant can drop straight into a return. Invoices and lease documents sit in the owner portal whenever you want them. For property management for out-of-state owners — and Hopewell's larger executive homes pull investors from New York and Philadelphia — that visibility is what lets someone own here without living nearby.
Several Hopewell communities run on association governance: Brandon Farms (1,200+ homes with townhomes and condominiums) and the age-55+ Pennington Point have homeowner and condo associations whose bylaws can cap or restrict leasing. We provide HOA management and condo association management — dues collection, vendor and common-area oversight, budgets, and board reporting — and manage individual condo and townhome rentals inside them. We also handle commercial property management for the township's small office and mixed-use owners. See our HOA management services.
Hopewell Township is a large, affluent, genuinely rural township of roughly 59 square miles where owner-occupancy dominates: only about 8.8% of occupied homes are renter-occupied — 553 rental households out of 6,288 — far below denser Mercer towns like Trenton, Ewing, or Hamilton. That thin renter share, paired with the top-rated Hopewell Valley Regional school district, means Hopewell rentals attract stable, longer-term tenants: relocating executives and families rather than transient turnover. Median gross rent sits around $2,128 a month, well above the Mercer County norm because the stock skews to newer single-family homes and townhomes. (The much smaller Hopewell Borough is a separate, higher-density enclave where about 23.6% of homes rent, at a median near $1,856.)
Demand comes from the greater Princeton–Trenton white-collar corridor rather than one in-town employer — the Bristol Myers Squibb Hopewell R&D campus, Capital Health Medical Center–Hopewell, and ETS in nearby Lawrence anchor the professional tenant pool. Residents commute on Routes 31 and 29 and I-95/I-295, with rail nearby but not in town: SEPTA at West Trenton toward Philadelphia and NJ Transit at Hamilton and Princeton Junction toward NYC (a proposed West Trenton line with Hopewell stations stays unfunded). The dominant investment property types are single-family homes, townhomes, and condos — not apartment blocks. Short-term rentals barely register near Washington Crossing State Park, so Hopewell is a weak Airbnb market and nearly all our work is standard 12-month leasing. A tailored rental market analysis is the honest way to price any Hopewell home.
Hopewell Township requires non-owner-occupied rentals to register with the township Housing Office under the New Jersey Landlord Registration Act, and buildings of three or more units also register with the NJ Department of Community Affairs for the state's five-year inspection cycle. Township Ordinance No. 74-11 requires owners to report each occupant when a tenant moves in and again when they vacate, and every dwelling that is leased or re-let needs a change-of-occupancy smoke-alarm, carbon-monoxide, and fire-extinguisher compliance certificate before a new tenant occupies. These are handled by the township Housing / Code Enforcement office in Titusville.
Layered on top are New Jersey's statewide duties: the Truth-in-Renting statement for qualifying non-owner-occupied buildings, the Rent Security Deposit Act (deposits capped at one month's rent and kept in a dedicated interest-bearing account), and the just-cause limits of the Anti-Eviction Act. We take on the township registration and occupant reporting, the change-of-occupancy certificates, the required disclosures, and deposit handling — and since a few of the ordinance numbers and fees date to older codifications, we verify the current rules with the township ahead of each placement.
Type "property management Hopewell NJ" into Google and the results are mostly statewide firms managing the town from an office an hour away, plus a scattering of stale directory entries. Our pitch is the reverse of that: real people 20 minutes down Route 31, and 333 verified Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars — a deeper, fresher review record than anyone else competing here. A township this owner-heavy, stretched across estate subdivisions, planned communities, and Delaware-riverfront hamlets, rewards a manager who knows the ground and can prove the service record. That is what we bring.

Across the Hopewell and wider Mercer County market, ongoing full-service management generally lands in the 8–10% range on the rent that's actually collected, with a separate one-time placement fee somewhere between half a month and a full month's rent. Rather than make you guess, we put our exact property management fees in writing inside a free rental analysis — affordable, flat-rate pricing with nothing buried in the fine print.
"Best" really means three things: does the manager know the town, do they answer the phone, and can you check their history? Extra Property Management carries a 4.8-star rating over 253 Google reviews, runs Hopewell out of a Trenton office 20 minutes away, and handles the full range here — detached homes, estate rentals, and the Brandon Farms and Pennington Point associations. Read the reviews and ask for a rental analysis; we'd rather be judged on both than on a slogan.
Yes. Hopewell is a strongly single-family township, so most of our work is detached-home and townhome property management, but we also provide HOA and condo association management for communities like Brandon Farms and Pennington Point — dues collection, vendor oversight, budgeting, and board reporting. Tell us whether you're a board or an individual owner and we'll scope it accordingly. Association bylaws that cap leasing are something we check before placing a tenant.
Yes. A Hopewell eviction is heard by the Mercer County Special Civil Part at the Civil Courts Building on South Broad Street in Trenton, under the Anti-Eviction Act, and if you own through an LLC or corporation a New Jersey attorney has to appear for you. We run the notice, the filing, and the court date, and if a judgment issues the Mercer County Sheriff executes the lockout — but the careful screening we do first is meant to keep you well clear of that courthouse.
All the time. A lot of Hopewell's larger homes are owned by investors based in New York, Philadelphia, or farther afield, and the whole setup — portal access, monthly statements, and a team on the ground here — exists so those owners can stay put. Showings, repairs, the annual township registration, the occupant reporting under Ordinance 74-11: we carry it, and you approve what matters by phone or email.
