Trusted by San Diego Landlords
Don't take our word for it — hear from owners who made the switch.
I was managing my Clairemont house myself for three years — dealing with tenant drama, late payments, and maintenance emergencies. After switching to Palm Tree Properties, I got my weekends back.
We own a multi-unit in Bay Ho and were juggling three different property managers before finding Erik. He consolidated everything under one system, reduced our expenses, and actually improved our tenant quality.
As someone new to property investing, I needed a manager I could trust to handle everything correctly. Erik's team guided me through the entire process, answered every question, and managed my Clairemont rental.

Clairemont Property Management FAQ
Common questions from Clairemont landlords.
What does full-service property management include?
Full-service property management covers tenant screening and selection, rent collection and financial reporting, preventive maintenance coordination, lease administration and tenant relations, legal compliance and eviction management if necessary, and move-in/move-out turnovers. We handle every operational detail of your rental property so you enjoy passive income without stress. Our management fees are 10% of monthly rent collected — transparent and all-inclusive.
How does Palm Tree Properties find and screen tenants?
We conduct comprehensive tenant screening including credit reports, background checks, income verification (typically requiring 3x monthly rent in household income), employment references, and previous landlord contact. We run every applicant through our screening criteria, which favors long-term, stable renters. We’ll never pressure you to accept a questionable tenant just to fill a vacancy — good tenants create stable, profitable properties.
What happens if my tenant stops paying rent?
We send immediate payment reminder notices and follow up with direct contact. If rent remains unpaid after five days, we begin formal non-payment procedures following California law. We coordinate legal assistance when needed and manage the entire eviction process professionally while minimizing disruption. You’ll never handle an eviction yourself — we manage every legal detail.
How are maintenance requests and repairs handled?
Tenants submit maintenance requests through our online portal. We triage requests daily, prioritizing emergencies (24/7 response) and scheduling routine maintenance within five business days. We coordinate with our trusted vendor network, oversee the work, and verify completion. You’ll receive detailed reports on all maintenance performed, including costs, dates, and contractor information.
Is your 90-day risk-free guarantee real?
Completely. Within your first 90 days, if you’re not satisfied with our service, we’ll professionally transition your property to another management company at no charge — no questions asked. We don’t ask you to sign long-term contracts. Our guarantee is rock solid because we’re confident you’ll love working with us, and we want you to feel completely confident trying our service.
How often will I receive financial reports?
You’ll receive detailed monthly financial reports showing all rent collected, expenses paid, maintenance performed, and net income — typically within 10 days of month-end. You’ll also have online access to your account dashboard 24/7 to check rent status, view tenant information, and track all property activity. Complete transparency is our standard for every property we manage.
What makes Palm Tree Properties different from larger management companies?
We’re owner-operators who manage our own San Diego properties. We’re not a corporate call center, and we’re not chasing every possible contract. We’re selective about which properties we accept because we care deeply about doing excellent work. You get direct access to Erik and the team, personalized attention, and property management based on owner values.
