Property management should be simple
We started Varden because we were landlords who spent too much time on busywork. Chasing rent, coordinating repairs, managing paperwork. It felt like a second job.
So we built the tool we wished existed: software that handles the tedious stuff automatically, at a fraction of what traditional property managers charge.
The Name
Your properties, guarded
The name "Varden" comes from Old French, meaning "green knoll", a peaceful, elevated place. It's connected to "warden," a guardian or protector.
Varden acts as the digital warden of your properties, watching over and managing your rental portfolio so you don't have to. We handle the day-to-day so you can focus on what matters.

What we believe
The principles that guide everything we build.
Landlords First
Every feature we build starts with a simple question: will this save landlords time or money? If not, we don't build it.
Radical Simplicity
Property management is complex enough. Our software shouldn't add to that complexity. We obsess over making things simple.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees, no surprises. You only pay when you collect rent. Our incentives are aligned with yours.
Continuous Improvement
We ship improvements every week. Customer feedback directly shapes our roadmap.
