Trusted by San Diego Landlords
Don't take our word for it — hear from owners who made the switch.
My income always arrives on time and I can always find out what's going on with their high tech investment platform. I used to manage my rentals myself, and I am just wishing I found Palm Tree sooner.
As an out-of-state investor, I needed a management company I could fully trust. Palm Tree offers complete transparency through its portal, and Erik is always available. I highly recommend them for everything.
Switching from a large PM company to Palm Tree was the best decision I made. With the big company, I was just a number. With Palm Tree, I talk directly to the people managing my property.

Most PM companies are built to scale. We're built to perform.
