Service Overview
Our Del Mar Property Management Services
Rental Pricing & Marketing for High-Value Homes
We analyze comparable Del Mar and coastal North County rentals to recommend a pricing strategy that reflects your property’s condition, view, walkability, and seasonality. Professional-style photos and quality listing copy help your home stand out in a competitive segment.
Careful Tenant Screening
For higher-priced rentals, tenant quality matters even more. We use a thorough, consistent screening process (income, credit, rental history, and references) applied within fair housing guidelines.
Leasing, Move-In, and Documentation
We prepare strong California-compliant lease agreements, coordinate move-in funds, and document property condition with photos and walkthrough checklists—crucial for higher-value homes.
Day-to-Day Management & Owner Reporting
We handle rent collection, tenant communication, and coordination of repairs and maintenance, with online access to statements and year-end reporting.
Maintenance & Vendor Coordination
From routine upkeep to urgent repairs, we coordinate with vendors suited to higher-end properties, aiming for quality work that preserves both function and appearance.
Inspections & Asset Protection
Periodic inspections and photo documentation help ensure the property is being cared for and that small issues are addressed before they become bigger problems.
Del Mar Property Management
Are Del Mar rentals mostly long-term or vacation rentals?
Del Mar has both, but our focus is on longer-term residential rentals (typically 12 months or more). If you’re considering short-term or vacation use, we recommend talking with professionals about the regulatory environment and appropriate insurance.
Do you manage both long-term and short-term rentals in Del Mar?
Yes. We manage both long-term and short-term (vacation) rentals in Del Mar. Since short-term rentals involve more hands-on management—turnovers, guest communication, dynamic pricing, and compliance oversight—they’re managed at a higher fee than long-term rentals. For most longer‑term Del Mar rentals, we use the same flat 8% management fee we charge across North County — simple, all‑in and transparent. Short‑term or vacation rentals are quoted at a higher flat monthly management fee because of the additional work involved. In each case, we avoid hidden charges and spell everything out in advance.
Can you help me turn a second home in Del Mar into a rental?
Yes. We can review your property, suggest rent-ready improvements, provide a rent analysis, and handle marketing, screening, and lease-up, plus full-service management if desired.
How do you protect higher-value homes from excessive wear and tear?
We start with careful tenant screening and clear lease expectations, then reinforce that with detailed move-in documentation, periodic inspections, and prompt maintenance coordination. Good communication with tenants also helps catch small issues early.
Do you work with out-of-state and out-of-country owners?
Absolutely. Many Del Mar owners don’t live locally. Our systems and communication style are built to keep remote owners informed without overwhelming them.
What’s the first step if I’m just exploring renting my Del Mar property?
Start with a no-obligation rent analysis and consultation. We’ll walk through your property’s strengths, talk about your goals, and outline what management would look like so you can decide if renting makes sense.
