The way property management should work.

Most property managers handle the visible work. The harder part is doing the small things consistently, month after month.

01

Transparency from day one

Before we start managing a property, we put every operational decision in writing. Maintenance spend limits, how often you want updates, vendor preferences, how late payments are handled. When something comes up, we already know what you want.

02

A team that's reachable and accountable

Owners shouldn't have to chase down their property manager. We give status calls during vacancies, return maintenance requests the day they're submitted, and call you before anything decision-worthy reaches your inbox.

03

In-house maintenance via Bay Vista Construction

Our sister company, Bay Vista Construction, is a California-licensed general contractor. Maintenance and repairs are handled in-house by people we know. No outside bids. No vendor-coordination delays.

Everything your property needs.

Our service covers everything that comes with running a residential rental: placing tenants, collecting rent, handling repairs, and reporting at year-end. Owners step out of day-to-day operations entirely.

Tenant Placement & Leasing

Vacant properties get marketed across Zillow and the major Bay Area rental platforms. Applicants go through credit, employment, and background screening. We handle the lease and move-in walkthrough.

Maintenance & Repairs

Bay Vista Construction is our sister company and a California-licensed general contractor. Maintenance dispatch goes directly to our crew rather than a third-party vendor, which keeps response times short and quality consistent.

Day-to-Day Operations

Rent collection, tenant communications, periodic inspections, and lease enforcement are managed by our team. Anything that comes up between visits is logged in your owner portal so you can see the full history at any time.

Owner Reporting & Accounting

Owners receive monthly statements and year-end 1099 preparation. Funds deposit by ACH each month. Statements, ledgers, and tax documents live in your owner portal.
