Marketing, Screening, Leasing

A good rental experience starts with proper leasing, and a proper leasing experience starts with exceptional marketing.

Our marketing plans include fantastic photos, concise and detail-driven descriptions, and responsive showings that work around the tenant’s schedule.

As applications begin to come in, we screen each one consistently and rigorously, following all state and federal fair housing laws.

Once a tenant is approved, we manage the entire move-in process from lease signing to the collection of deposits and rent to the move-in inspection.

We also have a strong vendor network, which means high-quality work is done when we need it, and the prices are affordable.

Raising Palo Alto Rental Values

The profitability of your Palo Alto investment property is directly tied to the rents you earn. We always approach a home with some ideas on how to increase its rental value. Typically, this involves minor aesthetic updates and upgrades that will make your property more attractive, contribute to retention, and raise your rents.

We also know how to welcome pets to your property without increasing your risk. We understand the value of good tenant relationships and providing a great rental experience, even as we hold those tenants accountable to the lease agreement and the way they treat your property.

We have it figured out.

Pricing Your Palo Alto Property

The right rental price is crucial in finding a tenant, keeping a tenant, and earning as much as you can on your rental property. We respect the statewide rent stabilization laws that are in place, and we also spend a lot of time studying the data that we gather on the local market conditions, competing rents, and rental trends. We price your property based on our experience, our knowledge, and what our analytics and insights tell us. The result is a rental value that’s competitive, accurate, and profitable.
