Tenant Placement
Great management starts with great tenants.
We start by inspecting the property and making recommendations on what will earn you higher rents and attract the best tenants. We advertise and show the property, and manage the tenant application process.
How do we find the best tenants in Live Oak, Seabright and Elsewhere in Santa Cruz?
Once we generate interest, the Portola team will thorough screen applicants, looking for credit worthiness, income verification, and reliable background information. We check court records and call references.
We’ll handle the lease and talk to the tenant about what’s expected and required. Then, we can either continue the management for you – or hand the tenant and the lease off to you.
Maintenance and Inspections
We are uniquely prepared to handle your maintenance needs.
Not only do we have our own in-house maintenance department, we also work with some of the best vendors and contractors in Santa Cruz.
How does maintenance work for Pleasure Point, Capitola Village and elsewhere in Santa Cruz?
Our maintenance manager on staff coordinates the work that’s needed on your rental property and schedules repairs directly with tenants, keeping the process more efficient and cost-effective.
Any maintenance work over $500 will be approved by you first. If it’s a smaller repair or an emergency, we use our best judgment and do everything we can to mitigate future and more expensive damage.
Protecting Your Property
We can customize a management plan for you.
In addition to placing a tenant and our top caliber Santa Cruz property management services, we have concierge services that are available to you as you need them, and we can even take care of your property when it’s vacant.
How do we protect your investment in zip codes 95060, 95066 and elsewhere in Santa Cruz?
Protecting your investment is critical, and no one does that like Portola Property Management. We’ll conduct interior and exterior inspections, put tenants with pets into a Pet Program which includes pet inspections, and help you with simple, single tasks like writing an ad for your rental property or filling out legal forms.
How Much Should I Charge Rent For My Live Oak Property?
The ROI you earn depends on properly pricing your rental property. Pricing it too high means it might stay vacant in a competitive market. Pricing it too low means you lose money now and over time. We’ll find the right range.
We provide a Free Rental Analysis for Live Oak, Seabright and other neighborhoods in Santa Cruz.
