Why People Leave Sun Realty
18–25% of your revenue goes to Sun Realty
On an OBX property earning $100K/year, you’re paying Sun Realty $18,000–$25,000. TIDY handles the same operations for $3,900.
OBX-only coverage
Sun Realty serves the Outer Banks exclusively. TIDY works nationwide — scale without switching providers.
Traditional staff model
Sun Realty uses the same staff-dependent operations model as every other regional manager. AI automates this work for 80% less.
You lose your listings and control
Sun Realty manages your property under their brand. TIDY automates operations while you keep full control.
