Services

Six disciplines, one flat fee.

Full-service long-term rental management for Bay Area investor-owners. We're not a tech platform with a 1-800 number, we're a local team of 11, managing 142 doors across the Peninsula and South Bay.

01Tenant placement

Tenant placement & screening.

Vetting tenants for retention, not just for filling a vacancy. We screen for credit, employment, prior tenancy, and a quiet thing most managers skip: how a tenant talks about their last landlord.

/01

Listing & market preparation

Professional photography, three-line listing copy by a human, multi-channel syndication to MLS, Zillow, Trulia, Apartments.com, and Craigslist.

  • Live comp analysis (refreshed weekly)
  • Professional architectural photography
  • Listing copy by an actual writer
  • MLS + 8 platforms syndication
/02

Application screening

Every applicant runs through credit, employment verification, prior-landlord reference calls, and income (3x rent minimum). We make a recommendation; you make the decision.

  • Soft credit pull with 3-bureau check
  • Direct employer verification
  • 2 prior-landlord reference calls
  • Income 3x rent minimum (verified)
/03

Lease execution

California-compliant lease with all current addenda (lead-based paint, mold, bed-bug, smoke, water-conserving fixtures), proper deposit handling, and digital signing.

  • CA-compliant lease & addenda
  • Move-in inspection (photo + video)
  • Security deposit per CC §1950.5
  • Digital lease signing (DocuSign)
02Pricing

Rent pricing & market analysis.

We re-comp every Monday. The rent that gets a quality tenant in within 17 days beats the rent that sits empty for 40 days every time.

/01

Initial rent analysis

For new owners, we pull 30-day MLS comps within a 6-block radius, adjust for bedroom count, condition, and seasonality. Output: low / target / stretch ranges with our recommendation.

/02

Weekly Monday repricing

For active listings, we refresh comps every Monday and adjust pricing if 7-day showings haven't produced qualified applications. No "list and pray."

/03

Renewal rent setting

For renewals, we benchmark against local comps and AB 1482 caps. Most renewals see modest increases, we'd rather keep a good tenant than chase a top-of-range number.

03Compliance

Lease & compliance management.

California rental law is a moving target. We track AB 1482 rent caps, local ordinances (Mountain View CSFRA, San Jose ARO, Redwood City Tenant Protection), fair housing, deposit timing, and required notices.

/01

AB 1482 tracking

State rent cap = CPI + 5%, capped at 10%. We track effective caps per property and apply them automatically at renewal.

/02

Local ordinance compliance

Mountain View CSFRA (5% + CPI for multi-family pre-1995). San Jose ARO for apartment buildings. Redwood City just-cause eviction. We handle the math.

/03

Notices & documentation

3-day notices, 30-day rent increase notices, lease expiration, fair housing acknowledgments, deposit return per CC §1950.5 (21-day clock). We track and serve all of it.

04Maintenance

Maintenance coordination.

Tenants reach a 24/7 line directly. Vetted vendor network at cost, no markup. Anything over $400 requires your approval, texted to you with a photo and vendor estimate before we proceed.
