Your rental income and return on investment will remain steady and reliable.

    Our 24/7 emergency-request support and thorough property inspections provide additional oversight. HOA access procedures can also affect how vendors schedule work at individual investment properties.

    GM helped my family find an amazing townhouse, and we’ve been happily living here since November of last year. Anytime we’ve needed maintenance, they have been incredibly responsive and quick to resolve any issues. The staff consistently provides excellent customer service, and I can honestly say this is the best property management company I’ve ever worked with. We truly appreciate their professionalism and dedication to their residents.

    I’ve been renting with GPM for the past few years now and I am happy to say that everyone I’ve worked with has been great, especially Bette, Alan and Tori. They are always very responsive to questions and have always tackled my maintenance requests extremely fast. The last place I rented from was trying to raise my rent illegally and now it’s great working with people who know what they’re doing. If you can rent from GPM, you won’t be sorry!

    Property management company was very professional and quick to respond. The only thing I did not like was having to fill out a very detailed application before we could even view the property. We were also required to fill out a pet application with a non refundable fee- again, all before even being able to view the property. The application fees were refundable if we didn’t end up moving forward which I appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth process and Carol was very responsive. I understand wanting serious, acceptable applicants but there should be a simpler “pre-application” to view instead of an entire application process. Maybe this is normal but I have never seen this before.

    The Benefits of Lake Forest Property Management

    Laguna-Hills-Property-Management-300x169

    Using a team of trusted, experienced property managers can transform the way you see your real estate investment. From property marketing and attracting tenants to dealing with emergency repairs and overseeing cash flow, a long list of benefits are associated with outsourcing the hard work to the experts.

    1. Rental Inspections and Valuations

    Your Orange County residential property should add to your income without adding to your stress levels. That starts with setting the right rental rates. Unless you know the local market, what renters are seeking, and how your own property compares with others in Lake Forest, you may miss the mark on setting fair market rent, thus reducing your income, or reducing your chances of finding a well-qualified long-term tenant.

    Our rental valuation uses comparable Lake Forest listings, property features, and local market analysis to recommend a competitive asking rent. We also recommend practical improvements to get your property rent-ready and prepared for showings.

    2. Target Market Research and Property Marketing

    We use our knowledge of Lake Forest rental demand and comparable properties to develop a practical marketing strategy. Our approach focuses on presenting your property’s features clearly, reaching prospective renters, and making it easy for interested applicants to take the next step.

    We market your rental with professional photography, 360° tours, detailed descriptions that highlight the property’s features, and exposure across online rental listing platforms. Our digital application process also makes it convenient for prospective tenants to apply once they’ve found a property that meets their needs.

    3. Tenant Placement

    Residential property management companies should work to bring in long-term, reliable, vetted tenants. We do exactly this through our extensive tenant screening process. 

    We review rental applications using consistent screening criteria to help identify qualified applicants. Our process considers income, credit history, eviction history, references, and pet information, with each application evaluated against our established requirements.

    Screening criteria include:

    • Income
    • Credit score
    • Eviction history
    • Personal references
    • Pets

    We know that you benefit most from good tenants who treat the property well and stick around for a long time, reducing vacancy. Let us do the work of finding the tenants and handling all of the details of getting them settled.

    4. Full-Service Maintenance

    We work with trusted local contractors to handle routine property maintenance and urgent repairs. Our team coordinates vendor visits, communicates with rental property owners about property needs, and helps keep rental homes in good condition.

    We also respond to tenant maintenance requests and conduct scheduled property inspections to identify developing concerns. This proactive approach helps protect your investment and supports positive tenant relationships.

    5. Online Rent Collection

    We make rent collection convenient for tenants through our online payment system, which supports payments from mobile devices and computers. This helps residents stay on top of their monthly obligations while giving our team a consistent way to track rental payments and manage collections.

    Owners benefit from organized financial management, including rental income disbursements, monthly statements, and financial tracking. Through the Owner Portal, you can review important financial information and stay informed about your property’s performance without having to request updates.

    6. Lease Administration and Documentation

    We administer leases, renewals, notices, and supporting documentation using processes aligned with applicable California requirements. When specialized legal advice is needed, owners should consult qualified counsel.

    Why Choose Genuine Property Management to Oversee Your Residential Properties

    At Genuine Property Management, we specialize in managing a variety of rental properties and buildings, including:

    • Single-family homes
    • Multi-family homes
    • Apartment complexes
    • Condominiums
    • Townhomes

    No matter the property you need managed, we back our services with two key guarantees.

    The first is that you will never be stuck in a long-term contract with us. We want to earn your business every single month. If you aren’t happy with what we are doing, you can cancel our services.

    The second is our money-back guarantee. If you are unhappy during the first 60 days of our agreement, you can cancel and we will refund the fees you have paid. That’s how much we value your satisfaction and how convinced we are that we are the right partners for you when it comes to property management companies.

    We do not ask for any costs paid upfront for document preparation, marketing, leasing services, or even on-boarding. We get paid when your tenant pays their rent and deposit, which means we are all the more motivated to work to place a good tenant in your property. If that tenant leaves before the lease is complete, we will replace them at no cost to you.
