Quick Turns with High Quality Tenants

Our proprietary tenant screening process, quick turn practices, and an all hands-on deck approach gives us an advantage to find, qualify, and close the best tenants at the highest rents the market will allow.

First-rate Customer Service

With a dedicated Vice President overseeing your property, you’ll have a single point of contact coordinating your entire team ensuring smooth operations, from leasing to repairs. While everything is online, we answer calls faster and more efficiently than any competitor.

Fast and Affordable Property Maintenance

We are pros at tackling routine and major issues with fast, cost effective results. For example, any mainline replacement is 75-80% of the cost of a typical plumbing contractor.

Hillcrest is one of the most diverse, engaging, and interesting neighborhoods in the San Diego area.

Why Invest in Hillcrest Properties

Our Hillcrest property management services include leasing, managing, and maintenance, but we’re doing more for you than finding tenants, collecting rent, and responding to repair needs. We’ll help you approach this market in a way that maximizes every opportunity. We’ll talk about what kind of features today’s tenants are looking for and how you can optimize your investment for higher rents and better appreciation.
With Hillcrest’s increasing population density and the optimization of new zoning plans, property owners have the opportunity to enhance their investments by adding or remodeling features to meet the growing demand. Average rents are high, property appreciation continues to rise, and low vacancy rates paired with strong tenant retention make this neighborhood an ideal market for rental property success.
