Fairfax is not a single rental market—and treating it like one is where many owners go wrong.
From the City of Fairfax to Burke, Oakton, Fairfax Station, and neighborhoods bordering Vienna and Annandale, each Fairfax submarket attracts a different type of renter, responds to different pricing pressures, and behaves differently throughout the year.
What makes Fairfax uniquely attractive to long-term rental owners isn’t hype—it’s consistency.
Here’s what we see managing Fairfax rentals day in and day out:
City of Fairfax & George Mason University area: Reliable demand from faculty, graduate students, and professionals seeking proximity to campus without student-heavy housing.
Burke & Fairfax Station: Family-driven rentals where school pyramids, yard space, and long-term leases matter more than cosmetic upgrades.
Oakton & Vienna-adjacent Fairfax: Higher expectations around condition and responsiveness, but renters here value stability and professional management over luxury finishes.
Annandale border areas: Strong commuter demand, price sensitivity, and faster leasing when homes are positioned correctly.
In Fairfax, success isn’t about chasing the highest possible rent—it’s about understanding who your renter is and why they’re choosing your neighborhood.
Our comprehensive property management services are designed to protect your investment and reduce the burden of day-to-day landlord responsibilities.
We handle tenant placement and leasing from start to finish. This includes expert marketing of your home, thorough screening of prospective tenants, lease preparation and compliance, and ongoing leasing support. Every listing is managed personally by our Principal Broker, David Norod, ensuring expert oversight from the outset.
Rent collection and owner accounting are managed by our in-house finance team, led by a seasoned MBA. You receive timely and reliable rent disbursements, detailed monthly statements, and organized year-end tax documentation to simplify your financial planning.
For maintenance and repairs, we coordinate with a network of vetted, licensed vendors to ensure your property is well cared for. Service requests are handled promptly, often the same day, and owners are only contacted when their input is required—keeping the process hands-free for you.
We also conduct regular property inspections. These in-person evaluations allow us to monitor property condition, ensure lease compliance, and resolve issues proactively—before they become costly problems.
Communication is a top priority at WJD. Our departmental structure allows each function—leasing, maintenance, accounting—to be handled by experienced specialists who can answer your questions quickly and accurately. We never outsource to third-party call centers, and our proprietary management software ensures seamless, real-time updates.

Fairfax performs well as a rental market not because of hype or rapid appreciation—but because renters here tend to be planners, not speculators.
Most Fairfax renters are federal employees, contractors, military families on multi-year assignments, relocating professionals, or families waiting out a future home purchase. They value reliability over flash: functional homes, predictable management, clear communication, and prompt maintenance. Properties that deliver those fundamentals experience fewer vacancies, longer tenancies, and far less friction.
Where owners often misstep is assuming strong rents justify heavy upgrades. In Fairfax, that rarely pays off. High-end renovations seldom move the rent needle, while custom finishes increase repair and turnover costs. Neutral, durable materials consistently outperform luxury choices.
In this market, execution beats embellishment. Well-maintained systems, realistic pricing, and professional oversight matter far more than designer details.
That’s why many Fairfax owners choose professional property management—not for convenience alone, but for predictability. Many of our clients are living overseas, managing multiple properties, or simply uninterested in day-to-day landlord demands.
They choose WJD Management because we manage residential rentals only, understand Fairfax at the neighborhood level, and structure management to prevent problems rather than react to them. We’ve done this exclusively in Northern Virginia since 1985.
Whether you own a single-family home in Burke, a townhouse near Fairfax City, or a condo bordering Vienna, our role is the same: protect the asset, manage the tenancy, and reduce risk.
If you’re considering renting your Fairfax property, start with clarity. Our Free Fairfax Rental Market Analysis reflects real leasing outcomes from comparable homes we actively manage—not generic online estimates. There’s no obligation and no pressure. When you engage our services, your first month’s management fee is FREE, and you receive a $400 signing bonus. WJD Management — Managing rental property is our only business.
