Improving Rental Property Maintenance

Protecting your investment property’s value and condition starts with a program of preventative maintenance and a commitment to routine property inspections. We make sure your home is clean, safe, habitable, and attractive.

Your Bayside Management property managers will conduct an annual maintenance inspection to get a look at the property and talk to your tenants about what’s going well and what might need some attention. We can look for deferred maintenance issues and respond to any questions or concerns that you and your residents may have. We’ll make sure your tenants are following the terms of the lease agreement, and we’ll document the entire inspection with photos, videos, and detailed notes.

We respond to emergency maintenance issues 24 hours a day, and our routine repairs are made with a sense of urgency as well. You’ll always know how your property is looking and performing because we communicate transparently and completely.

We manage homes throughout San Mateo, including Shoreview, San Mateo Park, Baywood-Aragon, and Foster City.

It may be as simple as new paint, better lighting, or even a new set of drawer pulls. We’ll talk about your options and help you make smart, strategic decisions.

Free Rental Analysis

Pricing a property correctly is the most critical decision an owner can make, and will really impact your experience as a landlord. Rental price determines everything from how fast a property will rent to the type of tenant you will get. We’ll conduct a comparative market analysis that shows what properties are available for rent in comparable neighborhoods and what all those properties have rented for in the last few months.

Based on the averages we see, we will establish a fair market value. Well-qualified tenants will be looking for value, so a competitive price is best. Overpricing your property by even $50 could end up costing months of vacancy and is rarely ever worth it in the end.

We've been with Bayside managing our two triplexes in Mill Valley for many years. Before my mother passed away in 2006 she trusted Bayside to manage her properties while she and her husband were away in Hawaii for six months a year. Since then, we have trusted Joanelle Russell to manage the properties on a day to day basis since we live near Sacramento. She takes care of all the small things and consults with me on anything I might be interested in. Bayside is thoroughly professional and does a great job.

What People Are Saying About Us

Survey • John

We have been working with Joanelle Russell for about 9 years now and she is a delight. Having owned real estate and been tenants previously, when we decided to become tenants we were apprehensive. But Joanelle has been nothing but professional and incredibly responsive. When we buy investment property again in the future, we would absolutely use Bayside and Joanelle.

My wife and my family have lived in a property managed by Bayside Management for the past 3 years, and they have been excellent. Super responsive, attentive and very customer service-friendly. In particular our point of contact Joanelle is excellent. We are past landlords ourselves (we owned rental property for a number of years) and have hired property management companies to manage our own rental properties, so we know how difficult the job is. Also, I run my own business so I appreciate the value of a good team. Bayside has a dynamic team which I would highly recommend, whether you are a property owner considering using them as your property management company or if you are a prospective tenant considering renting one of their properties.
