Who manages these homes?
A small local team based in Hollister. The same people who show the home handle your lease, your maintenance, and your renewal — you're not routed to a call center in another state.
About us
A rental office you can walk into.
We manage homes in the town we live in. That's the whole difference — decisions get made here, not by a portfolio manager three states away who has never seen the property.

Company story
Started with four houses.
The office opened with four rental houses and a rule that has not changed: say what the home actually is, charge what it's actually worth, and fix what actually breaks.
Today that's about 180 homes across Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Tres Pinos, Aromas, and Paicines — single-family houses, duplexes, townhomes, apartments, and the occasional ranch casita out past town.
We still show homes ourselves, and the phone still gets answered by someone who knows which unit you're calling about.
How we screen
One standard, published in advance.
Every applicant is measured against the same written criteria: household income around 2.5 times rent, credit and eviction history, and references from the last two landlords.
Source of income is a protected category in California, and that includes Housing Choice Vouchers. Voucher holders are screened on the same standard as everyone else, with the voucher portion counted as income.
If an application is declined, we say why in writing and tell you what would change the answer.
For owners
Management, in plain terms.
Full-service management runs 8% of collected rent plus a one-time leasing fee when a new resident signs. Here's what that covers.
Marketing that actually rents
Professional photos, an honest description, and syndication to the big portals — but this site stays the source of truth, so applicants arrive already informed.
Screening on a written standard
Income at about 2.5x rent, credit and eviction history, and calls to the last two landlords. Same standard, every applicant, documented.
Rent collection and reporting
Electronic rent, automatic late notices, and an owner statement posted every month with the actual invoices attached.
Maintenance without markup
Small repairs in-house, licensed local trades for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. You see the vendor invoice at cost.
Compliance handled
California notice periods, deposit timelines, habitability, and fair housing are our job to track, not yours.
Turnover in days, not months
Listings go live before the current resident is out, so the average turned home sits vacant about eighteen days.
Resident reviews
Residents and owners, unedited.
“I own two rentals here and they handle both. I stopped getting midnight phone calls.”
“Everything was in Spanish when my mom needed it. That mattered a lot to our family.”
“Renewal came ninety days out with the new rent in writing. No games.”
