sales: Housing Slump Means Industry-Wide Slowdown, But Small Businesses Survive
- 03/17/09 12:00 PM
As a small, service based property management company serving the greater Sacramento area, we are often asked how our company is doing during these uncertain economic times. While our new client acquisitions are somewhat lacking, they really are not doing any worse than same time last year. We continue to receive inquiries from prospective new clients, but most are looking for services to start in the late Spring or early Summer. Historically, property management not only does well in a down sales market, it thrives. However, this market has impacted more than just the sales prices of homes, so we are … (3 comments)
sales: Time to Shake Off the Holidays and Hit the Ground Running in 2009!
- 01/03/09 03:54 AM
I think 2009 will be a pivotal year for us in the property management business. Investors appear to be re-entering the market, vacancy inventories are up while rental prices remain somewhat flat. As we get into summer 2009, our hope is that rental inventories will shrink as the next wave of foreclosures hits and people are forced to rent for the next few years while rebuilding their credit. As the inventory of available rental properties declines, rental prices will inevitably rise, attracting still more investors and stimulating the sales market. We may see some fluctuation as foreclosed homes are purchased and … (7 comments)
sales: Landlord's Learning Center: Sales, Management and Maintenance- Three Services Often Linked Together, But Best Left Apart.
- 10/27/08 10:47 AM
We've all heard the tag lines "all under one roof", or "big savings with our in-house services", or "one-stop shopping". They all sound like great ideas, as they insinuate that we are receiving a bargain by getting more than one service from the same place. Such is the case with diversified companies that do property management. The most common examples are the Management and Sales company, followed by the Management and Maintenance company. As a Property Management Broker with 16 years experience doing only property management, I have my own beliefs on the subject of diversification, especially when it leads to … (0 comments)

sales: Land of Many Condos~ Current Rental Trends in Sacramento
- 08/10/08 04:09 AM
It is no mystery that inventory is up all over town, particularly when we look at condos and apartments. We have noticed a push toward renting homes, and have had much success in getting higher rents for 3 and 4 bedroom homes in almost every area. We believe the foreclosure market is the likely culprit, as it has been keeping the inventory of available homes lower than it would normally be, as Bank-owned properties remain off the market. We have been approached by a bank to manage their REO's, a first for us. I suppose the banks are tired of having … (2 comments)
