Why Employ a Property Manager?


Short Answer: Protect your Investment - and get your time back!

Managing a rental property takes more than collecting rent. It means pricing the home correctly, finding qualified tenants, responding to maintenance requests, documenting the property’s condition, staying current with California rental laws, and knowing what to do when something goes wrong.

Professional management can help reduce costly vacancies, prevent avoidable mistakes, control long-term expenses, and protect the value of your property. Just as importantly, it gives you back the time and peace of mind that self-management can quickly consume.

Whether this is your first rental or one of several investment properties, our team handles the tenants, toilets, and troubles so you don’t have to.

Why Hire Francis Taylor Properties

Why Should I Use Francis Taylor Properties?


We offer the systems, experience, and resources of an established property management company without treating owners or properties like numbers.

Our local team takes the time to understand your property, your priorities, and your long-term plans. We provide practical guidance, responsive communication, and hands-on management designed to protect your investment and make ownership easier.

We also never mark up maintenance invoices. You pay the vendor’s actual invoice, and our compensation does not increase when your property needs a repair. This keeps our incentives aligned with yours: complete necessary work promptly, prevent small issues from becoming expensive ones, and help control your long-term costs.

Whether you need tenant placement, full-service management, or guidance deciding whether to rent or sell, our property management and real estate teams are here to help.
