Property Management Services for Sacramento Owners

Screening Tenants and Leasing Sacramento Properties

Fair housing laws, Section 8 applicants, and just cause eviction requirements leave many Sacramento landlords worried about finding and placing a qualified tenant. We get it. It’s become more complicated to rent out a home, and that’s why you need an experienced management company to manage the leasing process for you.

It takes years of experience to thoroughly screen a tenant while remaining in compliance with all state and federal laws. At Key Realty Center, we provide property management Sacramento owners trust, because we have it down to a science. Our process is automated, transparent, and consistent. We are fair but rigorous, and we double-check and double-verify every piece of information an applicant provides. Before we approve a tenant for your Sacramento rental property, we check income, employment, credit, criminal histories, eviction backgrounds, and rental references.

If you’ve ever been a tenant, you know that applying for a property and moving into a new rental home is stressful. We’re mindful of that, and we treat our tenants with respect and professionalism, resulting in higher tenant retention rates and less vacancy costs for you.

We are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week when tenants need us to respond to an emergency. There are no answering machines and no third-party answering services. When you or your tenant calls, one of us answers. Our Elk Grove property management team is accessible to all of our Sacramento-area clients, and we are ready to help.

Regular inspections allow us to document the condition of your Sacramento rental property and protect it from tenant damage or neglect. While we’re responding to maintenance during the tenancy, we’ll take a look around and make sure your resident is adhering to the lease agreement.

Count on us to:

  • Conduct annual interior inspections and periodic external inspections.
  • Manage a pre-inspection prior to tenant move-out.
  • Provide emergency services 24/7.
  • Work with reliable, reasonably priced vendors to ensure best value
  • Maintain records of work orders and track your history of maintenance.
  • Bill tenants when repairs are their responsibility.

Our in-house property management maintenance team is reliable, professional, and effective. They work well with our tenants, they fix things the first time, and they charge much less than some of the outside vendors you’d have to use if you were managing on your own.

What Our Clients Say

 

We have used Key Realty to manage our commercial property, with 5 separate leases, for the past 10 years. So when we wanted to branch out into home rentals it was a no-brainer on who we could count on. Not only did Rod Luman find us a great property, he got us a great price and has managed it for the last 6 years. We are happy, but equally as important, our renters are also happy. He takes care of everything from screening applicants, making sure we are in compliance with all landlord laws, and meeting the needs of our renters so that we can continue our everyday careers… We couldn’t be more pleased!

After working with a couple of poor performing local Sacramento area property management companies, I discovered Key Realty Center in early 2023. Key Realty Center stands head and shoulders above the previous property management companies. Rod and his office staff(namely Ana) truly understand the needs of home owners as well as tenants and do an exceptional job in terms of customer service and most importantly communication. They remain on top of any reported repairs, issues, and concerns. Their experience level in terms of property management consultative advice is very apparent. They are the best in the area - I highly recommend Key Realty Center!

I have lived in my apt unit 3 nearly 9 year. At that time its condition was terrible and I suffered awful stinky smell from the unit downstairs for years. Thanks so much Key Realty Center with new Manager Roy to work it out well and finally my apt doesn't have the stinky smell from downstairs anymore. Thank you so much....
