We provide responsive, reliable, professional property management in Santa Cruz that calls upon our common sense, business experience, and local market knowledge.
Everything we do depends on communication, education, technology, and attention to your bottom line.
We are always improving and striving to increase our customer satisfaction.
We’re a Team
Our Santa Cruz property management team manages single family homes, townhouses, condos, and apartments. We work with beach houses, and multi-family units. In 2013, we became a Certified Residential Property Management Company (CRMC). This distinguishes us as leaders and experts in the industry; only 5 companies have this designation in California, and we are the only company in Santa Cruz or Monterey to hold it.
We’re proud of our work in Santa Cruz, and we look forward to providing you with the best property management service possible.
