Why Tracy

Built for Bay Area landlords who can't be local

Tracy is approaching 100,000 residents — one of California's fastest growing cities. Its location between the Bay Area and the Central Valley makes it a magnet for commuters priced out of the Tri-Valley, which keeps rents high and demand steady.

Tracy rents are among the highest in the Central Valley — which is exactly why a flat 7% beats the 8–12% most companies charge: the higher your rent, the more that gap saves you every month. And because so many Tracy owners live and work over the hill, we're your local eyes, hands, and emergency line. See how we work with Bay Area owners.

"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."

"We switched from another property manager in Stockton. Let me tell you, that's one of the best decisions I've made for my investment property. William's team is very professional and responsive. Most importantly, they take care of my property as if it was their own."

— Alyssa A., Los Angeles, CA via Yelp
