Our Property Management Services

1. Marketing of Your Rental Property

As soon as you’re faced with a property vacancy, we immediately begin working to fill it. Our marketing process involves both online and offline strategies.

Here are some of the ways we market vacancies:

• We create a compelling property listing that highlights your unit’s unique features.
• We capture high-quality photographs that effectively showcase the appeal of your property.
• We produce video tours that highlight your property’s best features, offering prospective tenants a virtual walkthrough.
• We post your listing on dozens of rental websites to attract online inquiries.
• We utilize word-of-mouth referrals to extend our reach within the local community.
• We place 'For-Rent' signs on your property (depending on location for security purposes)
• We leverage various social media platforms to further amplify the exposure of your listing.

Thanks to these strategies, we attract a large pool of prospective tenants and get your unit filled in no time!

2. Tenant Screening Process

Following our marketing process, we receive many interested applicants. However, we don’t randomly select any tenant to live in your units.

To ensure we select the most suitable and high-quality tenant for your unit, we employ a rigorous tenant screening process. This process ensures that only tenants who adhere to lease terms and pay rent on time are approved to live in your property.

Our tenant screening process includes:

• Conducting a thorough credit check.
• Performing a criminal background check.
• Contacting previous landlords to learn more about the tenant's rental history and any previous issues.
• Verifying employment and income levels to ensure the applicant can comfortably pay the rent – typically, we seek tenants with a monthly income at least three times the monthly rent.

This comprehensive screening process helps us to significantly mitigate the risk of problem tenants and evictions.

Note that our tenant screening strictly adheres to all California fair housing laws to prevent any form of discrimination.

3. Rent Collection

Ensuring a smooth rent collection process is crucial for minimizing the risk of late or missed payments. When you partner with Real Property Management, we prioritize ensuring you receive timely payments each month.

Here are some of the ways we achieve that:

• The rent-related terms of the lease agreements are straightforward, clearly detailing the rent amount, due date, and accepted payment methods.
• Tenants have access to convenient payment options, such as an online portal, direct deposit, or paying in our office
• We proactively send reminders to tenants to prompt them to submit their payments by the due date.
• We enforce penalties for any late payments to encourage timely compliance.

By implementing these measures and more, tenants pay their rent on time, 99% of the time! This will help you maximize your income and maintain a consistent cash flow every month.
