San Mateo Leasing Services and Marketing

A profitable and positive rental experience depends on an effective leasing process. This is where it all starts: offering your well-maintained San Mateo rental home to prospective tenants who are looking for a great place to live.

At Bayside Management, we have a strategic online advertising process which includes engaging descriptions, beautiful photos, and an accessible showing process. This leads to a large pool of tenants, a fair and consistent application process, and eventually a signed lease agreement with a highly qualified resident.

All of this depends on experience, knowledge, and responsiveness when it comes to marketing, screening and leasing. Your team at Bayside Management has everything you need for a stress-free leasing process.

Lower San Mateo Vacancy Times Leads to Better ROI

Why is the leasing process so critical? Because it impacts your cash flow and your return on investment (ROI) from day one. The longer you have a vacant property, the less money you’re earning on your investment. Our job as your San Mateo property managers is to help you earn as much as possible on your rental properties. That means attracting, placing, and retaining a well-qualified tenant quickly.

Pricing Your Home and Preparing the Property

We price your home according to the strength of the San Mateo rental market. Rental values rise and fall all the time, and we’re always tracking what tenants are willing to pay. We’ll consider several things when we price your property, including:

Property size
Property location
Property condition
Properties similar to yours and what they’re renting for

We’re always pushing the rental price to the top of the appropriate range. We’re also mindful of the importance of staying competitive in order to attract the best tenants in the shortest amount of time.

Preparing your property for the rental market requires an understanding of what matters most to tenants. We’ll recommend cost-effective upgrades and updates to ensure you’re earning as much as you possibly can in rent.

Online Advertising and Strategic Marketing

The homes we list on our website and through a diverse network of popular rental sites attracts a large pool of tenants. Our marketing process starts with online advertising, and includes professional-grade photos, engaging property descriptions, and all the information prospective tenants need to schedule a showing.

We don’t stop at online efforts. We also post signs, respond immediately to inquiries, and follow up with pre-screened tenants to help them submit an application.

Our professional marketing results in a San Mateo rental home that earns you more money and attracts a better tenant.

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

San Mateo Tenant Screening and Lease Signing

Everything in our screening process is automated and documented, ensuring you and your property are compliant with fair housing rules and tenant protections. California laws have become stricter over the years, especially when it comes to fair housing, just cause evictions, and how we place tenants. We stay up to date on all the legal requirements facing rental property owners, and we ensure you’re not at any risk for expensive mistakes.

Our screening process is intended to identify and approve tenants who pay rent on time, take care of their rental homes, and follow the terms of their lease agreements.

As soon as a tenant is approved, we schedule a move-in date, get the lease signed, and collect the move-in funds and security deposit. There’s a move-in inspection report to document the condition of your home, and a conversation with your new tenants so we can be sure they understand the requirements and expectations in their lease agreement.
