In order to maintain the highest occupancy level in your rental property, and avoid costly vacancy
loss, three critical steps must occur.
| 1. |
The property must show well. Our maintenance division will recommend repairs and improvements necessary to ensure that your property looks its best when being shown to prospective residents. |
| 2. |
It must be offered at fair market value. Your Regional Management Team knows the rental market in your area, and will recommend rental rates designed to optimize your income and shorten the time that your rental property stands vacant. |
| 3. |
It must be properly exposed to the market. We use innovative approaches to ensure that your property is fully exposed to the rental market. |
Utilizing print media as well as online resources and our own website, we maintain occupancy levels significantly above the market averages.
Our signature green and blue signs appear throughout San Diego County. Our web address is
prominently displayed on our signs, driving significant traffic to our website. We place our
signs on all properties where permissible.
We pioneered the “mobile leasing” concept in San Diego County. Our “virtual” leasing line is routed
to our on-call leasing associates to provide you with 7 Day-A-Week coverage for your rental property.
This results in a faster lease-up and a better bottom-line!
We were the first management company in San Diego County to introduce a weekly broadcast Rental
Hot-Sheet. This weekly report, now electronically distributed to over 500 San Diego companies,
including real estate firms, corporate relocation centers and military housing offices provides
your rental property with unparalleled marketing exposure in your service area. This service is
provided at no additional cost to our clients.
Our website is one of the most innovative and user-friendly sites in our industry. From a simple
rental query, to applying online, to placing a maintenance request, or even paying rent online,
our Internet presence provides our residents with a state of the art portal where they can easily
conduct business with us.

An important part of any successful property management plan must involve a comprehensive resident
screening procedure. Your prospective resident will be thoroughly screened using our proprietary
“Triple Check” underwriting system. We utilize one of the nation’s leading tenant screening companies,
and search the major national credit bureaus, as well as public records and eviction database service.
This screening procedure, when used consistently, will result in better resident selection, and higher
probability of on-time rent payments.

We utilize only the most current Residential Rental Agreement developed by the California Association
of Realtors and available only to member firms. These contracts, considered to be state-of the-art
within our industry, are designed to protect the interests of the rental property owner. Your Regional
Property Supervisor will be happy to contact you prior to executing a new rental agreement on your
property to review all pertinent terms and conditions.

Turnover is one of the most costly expenses that you will incur in the operation of your rental
property. When your resident moves out, you incur rehab costs that are necessary to get your property
back to “rent-ready” condition. While this is a normal cost of doing business, it is a cost that can
be reduced through good resident retention policies. We treat our residents with respect, and endeavor
to be responsive to their needs. To monitor our performance in this area, we conduct annual resident
surveys to determine our residents’ level of satisfaction with their premises, and with us as their
property manager. Our annual resident satisfaction surveys are available for your review, upon request.

In addition to inspecting your property each time a resident moves out, we will also perform a
comprehensive interior inspection as a condition of renewing your resident’s lease for subsequent
terms. Our pro-active lease renewal procedures are instrumental in helping us maintain high occupancy
rates across our portfolios.
We recognize the importance of providing you with timely and accurate accounting services to detail
the performance of your rental property. At the end of each month you will receive comprehensive
income and expense reports, detailing every transaction occurring in the current accounting cycle.
Your monthly income distributions will be remitted by check, or ACH electronic transfer at your request.

As part of our Mission Statement, “We will always strive to provide safe and comfortable environments
for our residents.” In order to ensure that our residents premises are safe, we conduct an annual
health and safety audit, which is a questionnaire that each resident is required to complete in order
to ensure that minimum health and safety standards are being met, and further to provide us with written
documentation of any property discrepancies. Residents are required to contact their local utility
company to schedule free courtesy inspections of their gas and electric appliances, including gas heating
systems and water heaters. This annual audit serves to help protect our residents and also to shield our
clients from some of the liability associated with the rental property ownership.
