How we work.
Common sense
We treat every property the way we'd run our own: keep good tenants happy, fix things properly the first time, and don't create problems that don't exist.
Transparency
Our fees are published on our website. Owners see actual vendor invoices in real time in their portal, no markups, no junk fees.
Modern technology
Online portals for owners and tenants, digital payments, real-time reporting, AI fraud detection, online scheduling, self guided tours.
Legal compliance
Active in the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). We stay ahead of all upcoming legal requirements and are proactively keeping you compliant. Our lease is updated annually and licensed from Kimball, Tirey & St. John, California's top landlord tenant firm.
What happens when you sign with us.
From first call to rent hitting your account: the whole process, step by step.
Free rental analysis
We look at your property and comparable San Diego rentals and tell you what we think it will rent for, and exactly what we'd charge.
Management agreement & onboarding
Sign the management agreement, hand us the keys and documents, and we set the property up in your owner portal. Already have tenants? We take over the existing lease and introduce ourselves to them.
Make-ready & marketing
We recommend any prep work worth doing, photograph the unit and get it listed. The listing is syndicated to all of the top rental sites across the internet.
Screening & leasing
Every adult applicant is screened against the same written criteria, and the lease is signed digitally.
Move-in & ongoing management
Rent collection, maintenance coordination, and monthly statements, with actual vendor invoices visible in your portal, not marked-up summaries.
Common questions
How much does property management cost in San Diego?
Recob Real Estate Services charges 7% of monthly rent collected for single-family homes and condos, and 6% for multi-family properties, with no monthly minimums. Leasing to a new tenant costs 25% of the first month's rent; lease renewals are a flat $300. There are no maintenance markups and no junk fees, and since fees come from rent collected, a vacant unit costs you nothing.

How long does it take to rent out my property?
Pricing the unit right from day one matters more than anything else, which is why every engagement starts with a rental analysis built on real comps. We don't pressure owners on pricing. We give them the data and base pricing on how aggressive they want to be. Everyone's situation is different. Whether you need top dollar for a refinance or you want to be aggressive on price to minimize vacancy, we tailor a plan to your situation and follow it up with actual leasing data so you can see how it's being received.
How do you screen tenants?
We screen all complete applications in the order that they are received and accept the first qualified applicant, consistent with fair housing laws. All documents and submissions are checked for fraud. We perform credit, rental history, income checks.
Do you manage affordable or deed-restricted properties?
Yes, it's a specialty. We manage San Diego density-bonus and income-restricted multi-family properties, handling the tenant income certifications, rent limits, and city compliance that come with them.
