Strategic and Effective Rental Property Marketing

The Petaluma rental market is always changing and we’re right here – monitoring the ups and downs of rental values, analyzing the vacancy days, and looking at the tenant trends. All of this data and knowledge contributes to a competitive advantage when it’s time to list and market your rental home. It saves you money with lower vacancies and better tenants. Our strategic and comprehensive marketing process delivers higher rents, well-qualified residents, and a leasing process that requires very little from our owners. We take care of everything.  

Pricing your property is a big part of marketing it successfully. We consider the current market rates as well as your location, size, and condition. We establish a fair rental value that reflects the market but also maximizes what you should be earning. We take great pictures, write detailed descriptions, and list your home on our website as well as all the popular platforms good tenants are using.  Look for your advertisement on Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Zumper, and others. 

Finally, we show your home, talk to tenants, and offer applications. The marketing process is comprehensive and complete. We manage it from start to finish, reducing vacancy days and attracting the attention of as many potential renters as possible.

Placing High-Quality Petaluma Tenants

Finding a good Petaluma tenant is an important part of your rental success, but it’s not without risk. Not only do you have to worry about bad tenants posing as responsible renters, you also have to make sure you’re following all of California’s strict screening laws. You don’t have to worry when Redwood Residential is screening tenants. We understand all the federal, state, and local fair housing laws. We’re compliant and we’re also consistent. We screen for well-qualified tenants who pay rent on time and take care of your property.   

All of our tenants understand the expectations we have for on-time rental payments and property care. We rent high-quality homes to high-quality tenants, and our process is rigorous. We check credit, we verify income, and we run national background and eviction checks. Each applicant will receive a copy of our standard rental criteria so they know what we require in order to be approved for your rental home. 

Good tenants lead to on-time rent collection, efficient lease enforcement, and ultimately better rental returns. Our screening process is legally compliant while remaining thorough and strict. We won’t settle for anything less than an excellent tenant.

Preventative Maintenance Protects Your Petaluma Investment

We make it easy for tenants to report any necessary maintenance. They simply log onto their tenant portal and let us know what’s wrong. That triggers an immediate response and we have the documentation that’s necessary to track the work that’s done on your investment property. When there’s a rare emergency at your rental property, we’re available 24/7 to respond. Our tenants understand what we consider to be an emergency and they know the immediate steps that need to be taken when something is wrong.   

Our routine and emergency maintenance responses are automated and automatic. We also pay attention to the preventative needs of your property. We’ve found this protects your investment’s condition and it also contributes to tenant retention.

Owners and investors appreciate that our preventative maintenance plans prevent expensive repairs that are often unexpected and difficult to resolve. It also demonstrates to your residents that we care about the condition of your home. 

Our preventative maintenance plan includes:

  • Working with licensed and insured vendors and contractors.
  • Inspecting and servicing HVAC systems.
  • Managing pest control.
  • Checking landscaping and lawn care.
  • Conducting thorough inspections during turnovers.
  • Watching for water intrusion or leaks.
  • Caring for appliances, electrical systems, and other property functions.

Rental property owners don’t like surprises, and neither do we. We’re proactive and protective, bringing owners like you sound peace of mind.

My property manager who I inherited prior to Redwood Residential owning the company is fantastic. The rest of the company leaves a lot to be desired. I often get emails from other property managers telling me they are going to be my new property manager due to confusion in the office. I have yet to speak with Michael the owner since he refuses to answer or return any emails or phone calls.

Quick efficient and great at communicating. I don’t live close to my property so it’s great to know it’s in capable hands. Rates are reasonable and they placed someone in the home within a month of it being available to rent.

Recently had a bad experience. Drove by our property and found our beautiful front yard over grown with weeds and my apricot tree was dead. I cried. We hired someone to cut the tree down and pull out all the large weeds. I talked to the renters and asked them to please start watering. I will have to start coming down (an hour and a half away) to check on our property. What use is having a property manager?

They’ve managed the property where I have rented and lived at for over 11 years for the past three years. I’ve been requesting for them to fix the heater that never worked fix holes in the exterior wall, fix mold, and not up to code electrical. I have reached out via email phone. I’ve reached out to our property manager, I’ve reached out above him. I was promised a call by the supervisor I have had to call again due to issues here at the house and issues with our property manager (manager ) from Redwood property management and waiting for them to address this and reach back out to me and they have not , been trying to push forward this issue to a supervisor for over a month now with absolutely no luck No one has reached out to anyone in our unit to try and rectify this or to fix any of the issues addressed.

I had a situation with a challenging neighbor who was renting a house from Redwood Residential. I reached out to RRPM several times with no response, but eventually received a response after leaving a public review. It's worth noting that it took an extended period of time to get the assistance I needed, which was somewhat frustrating. This was a peaceful neighborhood where the people coexist harmoniously. However, things changed when RRPM rented the house next door to another homeowner. The renter's music was consistently at an ear-splitting volume, even with all our windows and doors shut. It often made it difficult to enjoy activities like movie nights or family dinners without being drowned out by the obnoxious bass. This situation was beyond disruptive. To add to the frustration, these neighbors consistently lacked consideration for others. They frequently blocked the community basketball hoop, obstructed the mailboxes, and even parked in a way that completely blocked my driveway, making me late to pick up my child from school. It took several more months of dealing with this challenging neighbor and several complaints later for them to move out. I'm not sure if it was a voluntary move or an eviction, but either way, the situation was eventually resolved. I don't know if management directly resolved the situation, but they did try to assist, and their reputation is important to them, so that's something. In the end, I'm neutral about my experience with RRPM. They did eventually address the issue, but it took an extended period of time and a public review to get their attention. If prompt resolution had been achieved, it would have saved me a lot of stress and frustration. If you decide to choose RRPM, I would suggest clarifying expectations for response times and issue resolution. I do think they care greatly about their reputation and will work with you to maintain a good standing with their customers, which is reassuring.
