Property Management · Alameda

Property management on the Island.

We manage single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and HOAs in Alameda. Owners work directly with the firm — including the owner of the firm — not a routed phone tree.

Local management, on the ground.

Alameda's housing stock is older than most. Knob-and-tube wiring, original redwood subfloors, foundations that have settled into the bay's silt over a century. Managing it well takes contractors who know the building codes specific to the city, vendors who can park and work in dense flat neighborhoods, and a phone that gets answered when a resident finds water where there shouldn't be water.

From rental pricing and tenant demand to city regulations and neighborhood trends, our job is to protect your investment and maximize long-term returns. When you sign with us, you work directly with the firm and know who to call when something needs attention.

What we cover

Full-service management for Alameda owners.

  • Accounting

    Rent collection, expense disbursement, monthly statements, web access to your reports, scheduled rent increases. You see everything, every month.

  • Maintenance

    Project management, vetted vendors, competitive bidding, supervised work, preventative scheduling. Your building gets attention before things break.

  • Resident relations

    Move-in walkthroughs, security deposits handled to the letter, dispute mediation, rule enforcement, notices and (if it ever comes to it) eviction handling with proper legal counsel.

  • Leasing

    When a unit turns over, we re-evaluate the rent, prep the unit, market across our channels, screen applicants on credit and references, and sign the next lease.
