There has been questions on the services we provide.
As California implements new ordinance, it has given many field representatives new opportunities in the market. This had allowed us to excel and really zero in on underlying demands in the demographic area.

-We paid attention to our clients' needs
-We concentrated on how we can play a role in the demand
-We created a simplistic comprehensive platform of how we can satisfy that demand
-We interviewed and consulted with industry Managers, City and County regulating offices as well as homeowners themselves

We heard them all.

What exactly do we do?

Our clients are insurance companies, REO/foreclosures , and individuals wanting to prepare their homes for the vacation rental market. We are very specific to these fields . Our business was built on servicing the overlooked demands of our clients and educating homeowners merging into the vacation rental industry for the first time.

What we do not do:
We are not in the business of appraisals
We do not service new home construction or remodel
We are do not perform commercial inspections
We do not handle architectural issues
We are not a vacation rental management company-we do not hit you with hidden fees and take it from your rental income.

We are not here to sell you what you do not need!

We pride ourselves on offering straight forward honest services. With polite, knowledgeable staff and no fluff to drain your pockets, the customers' success is our success.
