Lathrop 

For those who live in the Lathrop area, there is lots to love. For this reason, there are many people who live here and never move out. However, there are many people who want to upgrade to a larger home in the area and are left with the task of finding someone to buy their home. An alternative to this is renting the home on the market, as many renters are looking to move into this area. Does this sound like a viable option for you?

 Take Out The Hard Work 

Renting a home on the market can be hard work. You have to advertise this, find someone to rent this property from you, and then go about collecting rent each month along with ensuring that they are happy with the rental home and no issues arise. It can be hard work. However, there is an easier way…our services.

Our Services 

We are a full service property management firm in the Lathrop area that will handle everything about your rental home. Once you start working with us, we handle the advertising of this home so that we can find more qualified applicants to rent this home. We then work with these applicants using tenant screening services to find the one person that is going to fit your specifications of the perfect tenant.

Once the perfect person has moved into your home, we also handle all those mundane tasks that may arise that need attention. We may at times have to arrange for a professional to make repairs or even maintenance on the property. We also collect the rent each month.

For those who own a property in the Lathrop area and who are looking to turn this into a rental home, we are here to make this process easy and one that you will not regret!
