We take every maintenance call so you don’t

Ask any self-managing landlord what they hate most about owning rentals, and maintenance coordination is near the top of every list — the after-hours texts, the contractors who do not show up, the invoices that arrive with no detail. We take every maintenance call so you do not have to. The tenant contacts us, we route the work order to a vetted vendor, we track it to completion, and you see the photo and invoice without ever picking up the phone.

Vetted vendors, tracked work orders, and photo documentation on every job — and we do not mark up vendor invoices. What the vendor charges is what you pay. No coordination surcharge, no margin built into repair costs. We believe that aligning our interests with yours means eliminating the incentive to push unnecessary repairs or inflate invoices.

Every job is documented with photos from start to finish. Move-in and move-out inspections use signed, side-by-side photo reports so condition at every transition point is on record. If there is ever a dispute over a security deposit or property damage, you have the documentation to resolve it cleanly.

Why it matters for Bay Area owners

California law imposes strict habitability requirements on landlords, and Bay Area rental units command premium rents that come with tenant expectations to match. Slow response to maintenance requests damages tenant relationships, increases turnover, and — in cases involving habitability — can expose owners to legal liability. A responsive, documented maintenance process is not just a convenience; it is a legal and financial necessity.

The no-markup policy matters because the alternative — a manager who earns more when repairs cost more — creates an obvious conflict of interest. We prefer a clean relationship: our fee is our fee, and your maintenance costs are yours. You can review every invoice, and everything is in the portal.

Common questions about maintenance coordination

Do you mark up repair invoices?

No. We pass vendor invoices through to owners at cost — no markup, no coordination surcharge on maintenance work. You pay what the vendor charges, and you see the invoice. Maintenance markups create a conflict of interest between the manager and the owner, so we removed them entirely from our model.

Who handles after-hours maintenance issues?

Tenants submit maintenance requests through the portal around the clock. Our team triages requests and routes urgent issues — active leaks, loss of heat, security concerns — to vendors immediately. Non-urgent work is scheduled during normal hours. You are not getting a call at midnight about a dripping faucet.
