Cal-Western Property Management is a different type of company.
We are completely focused on providing full-service property management Santa Clara County owners, investors, and landlords can depend on. We own investment properties ourselves, so we have a unique ability to approach the management of your home from a place of personal and professional experience.
Our specialty is the leasing, care, and maintenance of residential rental property in San Jose and throughout Silicon Valley. The resources and expertise we provide ensures your vacancies are filled quickly with qualified tenants at the highest market rent possible. We are not only one of the oldest and most experienced property management companies in San Jose, but in the country as well – perhaps this, more than anything else, will convince you to let us manage your property.
When you work with our team at Cal-Western Property Management, you can expect a personalized attention to detail that you cannot find elsewhere. Our leasing and management processes deliver results, and we develop and maintain professional and long-lasting relationships with our owners and our tenants. Many of the landlords and investors we work with have been with our company for 15 years or more.
We have experience taking care of rental properties in surrounding areas as well.
To effectively lease your property, you need a manager who understands the local market, the fair housing laws, and the requirements of highly qualified tenants. At Cal-Western Property Management, we have spent years putting great tenants in great properties. We know how to find and place those tenants quickly, ensuring your vacancy time and expense is limited.
We also market properties, conduct tenant screenings, and execute lease agreements in the local and surrounding cities.
We are available to you and your tenants 24 hours a day. Whether there’s an emergency maintenance need or a tenant dispute that requires our attention, we’re here to take care of business. We are responsive, attentive, and completely dedicated to the expert management of your investment home.
Our in-house maintenance team can respond immediately to repair requests and issues. We also work with an extensive network of qualified vendors and contractors locally to help us with complex problems and preventative maintenance. Your property will be protected at all times, and your tenants will appreciate our attention and service. You’ll have access to the full-service property management Santa Clara County owners and investors rely on.
We’re committed to managing your property, and we’re also committed to helping you grow your ROI and the potential of your portfolio. Wealth in real estate is created by the properties you hold, not the properties you sell. Our resources, experience, and local market knowledge will help you improve your success as an investor.
You can rest easy knowing your investment is safe with our expert Saratoga, Santa Clara, Mountain View, and San Jose long-term management.
If you’re wondering how much you’ll earn with your San Jose rental home, talk to us about our recommendations for what you should charge in rent. This market is unique, and while there are plenty of high quality tenants who are willing to pay top-dollar for a well-maintained home, you want to be competitive.
Ask us for a free consultation. We’ll help you price your property at a place that allows you to earn as much as possible while eliminating vacancy and turnover and staying competitive on the market.
