What Local Owners & Tenants Say

Feature stories highlighting faster leasing, clear communication, and maintenance responsiveness.

  • “Angel Zapien was truly a real professional from start to finish. I first set up a meeting in person to talk about my expectations regarding a move I wanted to make. I gave all my information and he said he would call me in a couple of weeks. He did just that. He asked had I thought about what I wanted to do regarding my move. I had decided, so we set up a date to start looking for a rental property that would fit my needs. We set up a date and time for me to begin my search. Two weeks later he had four places to look at. The drive was about fifty minutes away. It would take up most of his day. He never complained, and had a great sense of humor. We drove to all four places that he had picked out. I fell in love with the very first property but he insisted I look at the other rentals, before I decided. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angel listened to my wants. And never pushed me. I felt he wanted me to be happy with my choice. He guided me and had exceptional knowledge about the whole rental experience. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you all about my amazing experience with Angel Zapien.”

Our Complete Process

From landing on our website for your first time, to collecting your new tenant’s monthly rental payments, below you’ll learn of all the intermediary steps taken to get us there.

1. Get In Touch With Us Through Our Website or Call to Ask Us to Become your Milpitas Property Management Partner

Firstly, this entire journey will begin with us both getting in touch and asking us to become your Milpitas property management team. This can be either by you accepting one of our special offers on our website, sending us an email through our Contact Page, or simply picking up the phone calling us directly. You and I will then briefly introduce ourselves and set a more formal in-person meeting. It’s important we formally meet in person to better get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit before committing to anything on either side.

2. Formally Meet in Person to Discuss Your Unique Milpitas Property Management Needs and Get to Know Each Other

Secondly, we will formally meet in person at my office. Here, we’ll sit down, go over your short and long term goals, and help us better understand your mission regarding your rental property. If we meet during one of our website’s active Limited-Time Offers, we can also answer any questions you may have pertaining to our special offer. In most cases, we can modify our Limited-Time Offer to better benefit you and are willing to work with you to ensure we provide one of the best Milpitas property management offers on the market. We strongly pride ourselves in giving the most we can to our clients.

3. Visit Your Rental Property for a Walk-Through to Evaluate it for Rent-Readiness, and Discuss any Repairs if Needed.

After we confirm we’re a good fit for each other, and you’d like us to be your Milpitas property management team, we’ll proceed to schedule a date to meet at your property for a quick walk-through. Here, we’ll observe the property’s current condition, make recommendations, and put together a brief analysis on how we can maximize your monthly rental rate. In most cases, but not all, we strongly recommend investing into the property’s condition to increase its rental value, which will allow us to charge more rent.

Although polishing your rental property can cost upfront, in the long-run, the increased rental rate will greatly surpass initial investments. If we decide to repair and/or upgrade aspects of your property, but you do not have the funds, we can loan you the money as a “thank you” for being our partner.

4. Market Your Rent-Ready Property Across Various Listing Platforms, our Social Media Accounts, and to Our Personal Contact List

After your property is in pristine condition and worthy of the highest rental rates, we’ll take professional images and begin to market. Your property will then be posted on countless places on the internet including listing platforms, social media, and our personal list of contacts. Everyone will be notified of your property’s availability to speed up its rented status. In contrast, other Milpitas property management companies typically only post your rental property in one main area.

5. Screen All Applicants by Running Credit Checks, Background Checks, and Rental History

Great, now we begin receiving a large influx of rental applications. What now? Here, we begin to process the applications and screen for the best candidates for your property. Firstly, we run a credit check to ensure their creditworthiness is acceptable. Secondly, we’ll run a criminal background check to help us understand who we’re working with. And finally, we will check their rental history to see if they have had any previous evictions and other notable information.

6. Create a New Lease Agreement For You and Your New Tenant

After selecting the most qualified tenant, we proceed to creating the new lease agreement. We will speak with you to understand your goals and then write the lease for you and the new tenant. We’ll also take care of delivering all paperwork to both sides, you and the tenant, to ensure everything is collected in a timely fashion. Time is of the essence. The sooner everything’s collected, the sooner we’ll begin collecting rent.

7. Welcoming Tenant to Their New Rental and Handling them the Keys

Finally, all the paperwork is signed and turned in. Typically, I like to do one last walk-through before the tenant’s move-in date to ensure everything is clean and in great shape. On the move-in date, I will meet with the tenant , hand them their keys, give them a warm welcome, and ask them if they have any questions or concerns. After the tenant has received the keys, I will report back to you to inform you of the experience.

From this point onward, we will begin to collect rent monthly. You, (the owner), will have a Milpitas property management private portal where you can sign-in and track all rent payments and financials, as well as all other details for your property.
