What Tenant Placement Looks Like in Practice

The point is not just filling a vacancy. It is pricing the property correctly, creating enough demand, then handing the owner a qualified applicant file.

Is This Right for You?

Who This Is For

Good fit if…

  • You're comfortable handling day-to-day management
  • You want professional screening without the ongoing cost
  • You already have systems for rent collection and maintenance
  • You're an experienced landlord adding a new door

Consider Full Management if…

  • You want rent collected and deposited automatically
  • You don't want to handle maintenance calls
  • You own multiple properties or live out of the area
  • You want AB 1482 status review and California disclosure support — see Full Management

Many landlords start with tenant placement and move to full management when their situation changes — that transition is seamless.
