Why Oakdale

Small-town demand at the gateway to the Sierra

Oakdale sits northeast of Modesto on Highways 108 and 120 — a gateway to Yosemite and the Sierra foothills. With about 23,000 residents, an agriculture and food-production base (longtime makers like Oakdale Cheese and Sconza Candy), and weekend-tourism draw, it keeps a steady, quality renter pool.

Downtown Oakdale, Bridle Ridge, Oak Valley, and the Burchell Hill and East Oakdale neighborhoods all see consistent rental interest. We price each home to its block, lease it fast, and manage it hands-on.

"William's team helps me manage a 20 unit apartment building in Stockton. Even during the pandemic, they collected more than 95% of rent. Their contractor network performs repairs at a discounted rate — after they took over, my monthly repair expenses went down by roughly 30%. Business is good, I'm happy."

"I used to manage my own properties until I moved to NY and could no longer do so. Through the recommendation of my realtor, we found William's company. They are very detail oriented and very responsive. Charging very attractive rates — well worth the peace of mind."

— C C., New York, NY via Yelp

"Extremely professional and know what they are doing! I was a little skeptical at first because their fee is lower than anyone else. I had a vacant unit in Stockton the previous management company couldn't rent out for half a year — these guys took over and got it rented in one week at $300 more per month than I expected. Very happy."
