recommendations from local investors. Look for
companies with positive reviews and a good
reputation within the community. Check their
websites for information about services offered,
client testimonials, and portfolio of managed
properties.

considering is licensed and certified to operate
in California. Review their experience in
managing properties similar to yours. Ask about

certifications in property management or real
estate. A well-established company with
experienced professionals is more likely to
deliver quality services.

candidates and schedule interviews. During these
meetings, ask detailed questions about their

reporting. Inquire about their communication

emergencies. The goal is to assess their
professionalism and compatibility with your needs.
