Rental Property Management for Owners in San Diego
We provide customized leasing and management to fit your property, your goals, and your needs. Our experience in the San Diego rental market positions us to help you earn more on your investment, and to have a more successful experience as a landlord or property owner.
San Diego neighborhoods we serve include Carmel Mountain Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Carmel Valley, etc.
Our real estate services are comprehensive and innovative. We are leaders in this industry, and it won’t take you long to see why. We’re responsive to tenants, vigilant about enforcing the lease, and passionate about protecting your property.
Attracting Qualified Tenants
Expert tenant placement starts with properly pricing your property, according to the market rates as well as your home’s condition, size, and location. We also make sure your property looks its best before we begin advertising and showing it.
We pre-screen and qualify prospective tenants to make sure the property is the best fit for them. Once they apply, we screen by looking at credit, verifying rental references, and qualifying their income.
After approving a tenant who is a good fit for your property, we collect a deposit and get the lease signed. Our tenant relationships begin on solid footing and open communication.
We’re proud of the tenants we attract and place. We know that a great rental experience starts with a great renter.
Tenant Rent Collection & Preventing Eviction
Our tenants know that rent is due on the first of each month. After the third of the month, rent is considered late. Online payments offers convenience for our tenants and greatly reduces delinquencies.
If rent still isn’t received on the fifth of the month, late notices are distributed and eviction proceedings begin if a payment arrangement isn’t made immediately.
Collecting rent on time is one of our most important jobs.
However, because we screen thoroughly and consistently enforce the lease, evictions are unlikely at Walters Home Management.
Rental Property Maintenance and Regular Inspection Reports
Our diligent response to maintenance issues protects your investments and your property’s value. We provide repair and maintenance services with the help of qualified vendors who are reliable, professional, and affordable.
When an emergency is reported, we take care of the problem right away, relying on our network of trusted vendors. Our long-standing vendor relationships mean we have quick turnaround times and reasonable rates. You’ll always be in the loop and will receive a copy of all work orders and invoices.
Visits to the property ensure the work is being done correctly. They also ensure the tenants are complying with their lease and taking good care of your home.
Walters has been my management company of choice for over 10 years and I have appreciated their ability to find good renters for the properties they manage. When it has come to repairs or upgrades, they have contacted me before they are done to get my approval. I have found their contractors to be more than sufficient to do repair jobs. The renters have been excellent, which has a reflection on Walters research of a renters qualifications.
