MANAGEMENT
We have been helping clients acquire, lease and manage residential real estate for over 20 years.
We complete an analysis of rents, including a personal review of comparable properties and rental market trends, to assess the most competitive rental price point for our client real estate assets. In setting rates we consider localized market trends, time of year, floor plan, condition of property, appeal of improvements and expected vacancy time frames. Avoiding small vacancies by setting the right rental rate can provide returns to investors in lower vacancy and higher tenant retention. We provide owners with recommended improvements to help in garnering prospect interest and making their rental properties stand out on the market.
As property managers we invest for the long term with our lease listings and retain all materials to ensure we are ready to quickly re-market the property between tenancies. We develop quality marketing materials and collect detailed property documentation. We take high quality photos for each property including local amenities. We create detailed property descriptions and gather property and association information to ensure our marketing materials reflect all of the benefits associated with renting your property and the aspects of your investment that differentiate it from others on the market.
We prepare and publish detailed listings to the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and ensure that all listings are shared with the Online websites that prospective renters use to find homes including Realtor, Homes, Rent, Move, Hotpads, PadMapper and many, many more. Our MLS listings are also shared across multiple reciprocating MLS services that Realtors use to find their clients rental homes including San Diego, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Glendale and more. By syndicating our listings we ensure that your property quickly gets the best agent and online exposure possible. First impressions are very important in real estate, we prepare and publish all the pictures and details that a renter needs to appreciate your property from the start.
Providing prompt communication and access is as important as effectively marketing your investment property. We have developed shared communications, including voice, text, email, text to email and voice mail to email to ensure that our team of brokers have multiple methods available to receive and respond to rental inquiries. We install the latest secure blue-tooth lock boxes to facilitate Realtor access, provide signs that clearly indicates your property is for rent, and install combo lock boxes for vendor access. We plan for future listings from the start of each lease by including access details in our contracts that ensure tenants understand their responsibility to provide access for showings.
Our tenant screening process is detailed, including credit checks, banks statement review, reference review, employment and wage verification (Tax Return Reviews as needed), and personal meetings with prospective lease candidates. We offer tenant paid credit checks through TransUnion. Tenants appreciate that credit checks are performed by a well known credit provider where that they can maintain their privacy while quickly giving landlords the information they need to make a leasing decision. We offer landlords the opportunity to review fully vetted tenant applications, however most opt to have us manage the entire process and execute leases on their behalf.We prepare and publish detailed listings to the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and ensure that all listings are shared with the Online websites that prospective renters use to find homes including Realtor, Homes, Rent, Move, Hotpads, PadMapper and many, many more.

Our tenant contracts have developed from years of experience with the responsibilities and challenges that arise from managing properties, handling difficult repairs, encouraging timely payments and working with tenants. We include lease contracts, disclosures, payment processing. Properties located in an association we include HOA and parking rules and regulations. Our contracts provide for the entire lease term, from delivering keys, access codes and remotes, to payments, repairs to the close of the lease. We cover maintenance access, tenant cleaning responsibilities, and access requirements that allow us to show the property as the tenant concludes their contract with you.
Legal obligations are placed on owners to inform and educate tenants about safety, tenant rights, health risks and more. Providing appropriate disclosures on a regular basis can have a significant impact on owners rights as they work with tenants. Staying current with local and state tenant legislation is time consuming for owners and the proper dislosures are not always clear. We are regulalry updated by the National Association of Realtors, California Association of Realtors and the Orange County Association of Realtors. We work diligently to include required disclosures to educate and inform tenants, and we provided updated disclosures with annual lease renewals.
Things break, most tenants and owners understand that. How those problems are resolved has a big impact on how people feel about their rental property. Tenants want to feel that owners are concerned with their welfare. In our experience it is not about dollars spent on repairs, it about timely communication, and quality repairs performed in a timely manner.
Our rental payment system is simple for tenants, allows us to collect rent fast and to distribute owner funds fast as well. We use well known payment providers that tenants can trust. Our payment solution is easy for tenants to configure, it usually takes them 5 minutes to set it up and they have the option to configure recurring monthly payments. Set it once, and payments are collected on a regular schedule.
Our lease contracts allow us to quickly re-lease your property when we receive cancellation notice from current tenants. We start marketing you property immediately, and are frequently able to narrow vacancies to a week or less. Individual property marketing campaigns are prepped in advance; we collect photos, prep listing information, and gather association and property documentation allowing us to respond to tenant cancellations and list your property fast.
We are brokers, property managers, real estate investors and landlords. Years of experience managing and leasing multiple properties and tenants gives us opportunities to regularly develop and improve processes that streamline marketing, lease contracts, tenant communication, rental collections, and repairs. Effectively marketing and leasing investment properties requires a very different skill set that many brokers and agents have not acquired. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business.
