Oceanside Property Management Services

Property management is the daily oversight of residential, commercial, or industrial real estate by a third-party contractor. Generally, property managers take responsibility for day-to-day repairs, ongoing maintenance, security, accounting, and upkeep of properties. Property managers (those employed by the property management company) usually work for the owners of investment properties such as apartment and condominium complexes, private homes and multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings such as retail malls, and industrial parks.

As an experienced property management company, our team in Oceanside manages routine tasks, preserves the value of the properties they manage, and generates income to help fund repairs, etc.

A property manager’s typical duties include, but are not limited to: bill payment, rent collection, tenant screening and placement,lease generation and administration, eviction protection, property inspections, property valuation, property showings, move-in and move-out evaluations, landlord-tenant relations, risk management, monthly and annual accounting, maintenance coordination, accounting and invoice processing, legal and regulatory issues management, and serving legal notices among other things.

Cost varies greatly depending on the property management company itself, as it is not regulated by law or any local or state regulations; however, as a general rule most property managers charge a percentage of the rent collected each month.

It is definitely important to do your research before hiring a property manager. This includes asking lots of questions and also reading the company’s online reviews, when applicable. Here are a few questions you may want to ask before signing up with a property management company.

• How much do you charge?
• Are there any additional fees such as tenant placement fees, sign up fees, etc.?
• Do you require a reserve? If so, how much? (The property reserve is the amount held by the property management company in the Trust fund in order to pay for an emergency repair, if required.)
• How often will you contact me? Will you call me about all repairs and maintenance issues?
• How do you screen tenants?
• Where do you advertise your rentals?
• What is the process for signing up?
• What sort of things do I need to do to my income property in order to prepare it to rent?
• Where is your office located?

Yes: in the state of California, anyone advertising their services as a property manager must hold a California real estate salesperson’s license and be working under the supervision of a licensed real estate broker. Our Broadpoint Properties team in Oceanside includes 1 broker, 3 broker associates, and 5 agents, in addition to our administrative staff.

While owning a rental property can be rewarding and incredibly lucrative, if you do not have previous experience managing property or are unfamiliar with state laws and regulations - particularly when it comes to things like collecting rent, serving notices, and making repairs - it can also be extremely stressful.

That’s why many owners instead leave the management of their income property to a professional property manager. Using an experienced property management company can reduce headaches and free up your time. Plus, an investor owner who uses a professional property management company such as Broadpoint Properties can rest assured knowing that their home is being managed by an experienced team.

Most property management companies do not evict tenants unless they have an attorney on staff. Here at Broadpoint Properties in Oceanside, we are able to prepare the paperwork and service the required legal notices if an eviction is required. We then work with both the owner and one of our preferred attorneys in order to assure that any necessary eviction is handled as quickly and efficiently as possible.

In general property management companies do not pay for repairs from their own funds; instead, they use the collected rent or the property reserve funds to pay any maintenance or repair bills on behalf of the owner.

If you want to start off on the right foot with your income property, it is important to find a property manager in Oceanside who is professional, experienced and has good communication skills. If you know anyone in your area who rents out a property, ask them if they use a property manager and whether they would recommend that individual.

It’s also good to take some time and read the online reviews of the property management company — both from owners and from tenants. Then, pick up the phone and call those who you believe might be a good fit for your needs. We hope that your selection includes Broadpoint Properties in Oceanside, CA! Our skilled team looks forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you may have.
