Top 10 Reasons to Choose Key Realty Center for Property Management in Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Galt, CA

How do you know which company is the right fit for you?

There’s a bit of work you have to do on the front end. It’s important to do a little digging and get to know what kind of services a company provides, and what their reputation happens to be in the local community and within the industry. You’ll need to look at their prices and compare those prices to the services that are offered. 

Read reviews. Check out some websites. Visit social media platforms. Schedule interviews. Ask questions. 

You don’t want to choose a property management partner without feeling like you have a good understanding of who they are and how they work.

At Key Realty Center, we’re always happy to tell owners and investors about all the ways that we deliver a better – and more profitable rental experience for them. We’re also eager to hear about your own property and some of the challenges and opportunities you’ve encountered up until now. 

We want you to choose the property management partner that’s the right fit for you and your investments. 

If your rental property is in Elk Grove, Sacramento, or Galt, California – we might be exactly the property management expert you are looking for. Here are 10 reasons to choose us as your management team.

1. Personalized Property Management 

We have a process for everything. We have consistent systems in place that allow us to automate a lot of what we do, saving time and money and ensuring nothing gets forgotten. That doesn’t mean we aren’t flexible. We approach the management of your property with flexibility and a commitment to customizing our services to fit your unique needs. Other management companies take a one-size-fits-all approach. Not Key Realty Center. We do what works for you.

2. Profitable Rental Property Pricing 

You need the right price attached to your rental property if you have any hope of finding a great tenant, keeping that great tenant, and earning consistent and recurring income with your property. 

Setting the right price isn’t always easy, though. You don’t want to price it too high and risk a long vacancy. You don’t want to price it too low and leave money on the table. 

That’s a good reason to work with us. Our local market knowledge combined with the data we collect including insights and analytics about the area and the competition allow us to come up with a price that’s accurate, competitive, and profitable. 

3. Rigorous Tenant Screening 

Who is living on your property? A well-qualified tenant must be placed there. 

We do that, with careful screening, strategic marketing, and full compliance with California’s strict fair housing laws. Our screening process ensures we place a tenant who is financially responsible and able to pay the rent on time every month. We look for positive rental histories and a willingness to follow the terms of the lease agreement. We have a set of rental criteria that every tenant must meet before they’re approved. 

4. Understanding California’s Tenant Laws

With all of the laws and regulations around rent control, fair housing, just cause evictions, security deposits, and habitability standards, it’s easy to make a legal mistake when you are renting out a property.

Unless you’re working with Key Realty Center. We make an effort to stay up to date on the laws that impact you and your property. We keep you compliant and help you avoid those legal pitfalls. 

5. We Protect Your Property and Its Value

One good reason to work with us is that we provide peace of mind from the very beginning of our relationship. One of our most important jobs is to protect the value and condition of your property. We do that with careful tenant screening, smart maintenance, and good tenant relationships. We’re prepared and proactive. 

6. Responsive and Preventative Maintenance 

What’s more important than maintenance? 

Not much, and we take care of your rental property. Whether it’s an emergency leak in the middle of the night, a routine electrical fix, or preventative maintenance that’s going to reduce the number of emergencies and avoid deferred repairs, we are prepared to take care of your property. We do it cost-effectively, with a team of licensed and insured vendors who provide us with their deepest discounts and their best quality of work. 

Our responsive approach to maintenance not only protects your property against deterioration and damage, it also keeps your tenants satisfied with our service and where they’re living. This contributes to better tenant retention and lower turnover costs. 

7. Effective Tenants Relationships

At Key Realty Center, we have a unique ability to balance tenant accountability with excellent customer service. We expect our residents to pay rent on time, treat your property like it’s their own, and communicate any maintenance needs right away. We enforce the lease and we protect your priorities. But, we also make sure to provide an outstanding rental experience for your residents. Their happiness is an important part of your profitability. We establish and grow tenant relationships that are professional and respectful. We make sure they’re heard. We make sure we’re available to them, and we make sure that they take care of your investment. It’s a partnership. 

8. Innovative Property Management Technology 

Let’s talk about tech. Things have been moving pretty quickly over the last decade when it comes to property management technology. While we were once amazed by self-showing technology and online portals, we’re now dealing with new advancements like Artificial Intelligence. We have been in property management long enough to know that this is a relationship business. The relationships we have with owners are important. The relationships we have with tenants are also important. We value our relationships with vendors and other professionals we work with, including real estate brokers, lenders, insurance professionals, and attorneys. 

Because we care so much about these relationships, we want to spend more time cultivating them. To that end, we invest heavily in property management technology. When we can automate things like rent collection, inspection reports, maintenance requests, showings, and accounting statements, it means we have more time to spend on the things that technology cannot help with. Like relationships. Like community service 

Choose us for our technology not because we’re allowing technology to take over the work that we do, but because we rely on technology to help us do better work for you, your property, and your residents. 

9. We’re Hands-On So You’re Hands-Off

You did not decide to rent out a property because you wanted another job. It doesn’t help if your property manager is slow to take care of things like:

• Marketing
• Showings
• Screenings
• Leasing
• Inspections
• Maintenance
• Rent Collection
• Accounting Reports

And the list goes on. You don’t want to do these things; it’s why you hire a property manager. At Key Realty Center, we’re taking care of every detail. We are completely hands-on, and when we say we offer full-service management, it means FULL SERVICE. Everything is taken care of, and you don’t have to be involved. It saves you time and eliminates stress. 

This does not mean we don’t keep you in the loop. We communicate effectively and proactively. You’ll always know where your property stands, thanks to our check-ins and the owner portal we provide, where you can find anything you need pertaining to your property. 

10. Reputation: Locally and Industry-Wide

It matters what people think. You can comfortably work with our team because we have a fantastic reputation that we’re proud of. Ask anyone in the local area. Whether it’s a property owner in Elk Grove, a real estate investor from Sacramento, or a first-time landlord in Galt, we are known as the property management leaders in these communities. We’ve worked hard to earn that reputation. 

We’re also leaders within the industry. We take professional development very seriously, and we’re constantly improving what we know. Whether it’s attending professional conferences, joining professional associations, or providing resources and education to people who rent out homes, we’re the go-to management team for owners, tenants, investors, landlords, and anyone who has questions about leasing, management, maintenance, and investing. We’re proud of that, too.

These are only the first 10 reasons we can provide for why you should work with us. There are so many other excellent reasons to consider, including the fact that we’re really easy to work with. Our rates are competitive and fair, especially considering the value you get. We specialize in working with investors from out-of-state, providing the local insight and expertise you need.
