Why Management One

What a Locally Owned Property Management Company Actually Delivers

40 years in one market. Not a call center. Not a national brand. Here is what that means for your property.

Management One property management sign outside a suburban Orange County home
01

Your Manager Picks Up

When you call Management One, you reach your dedicated property manager — not a routing queue, not a call center in another state. One person who knows your property.

02

40 Years in This Market

We know Orange County and Riverside County — the neighborhoods, the vendors, the rental rates, the local ordinances. A national franchise uses templates. We use 40 years of local knowledge.

03

Resident Screening & a <1% Eviction Rate

Our 10-point process checks income, credit, rental history, criminal background, eviction records and fraud indicators — producing a sub-1% eviction rate against the ~6% California average.

04

Maintenance With Zero Markup

Our 80+ vetted vendors charge you exactly what they charge us — no markup, no kickback. Every invoice and before/after photo lands in your owner portal, and the 24/7 emergency line is answered by a person.

05

Leasing & Marketing That Fills Fast

Professional photography, video walkthroughs and syndication across every major platform, plus automated showing scheduling and a resident referral network. Most properties lease in 21–35 days.

06

California Landlord Law & Trust Accounting

AB 1482 rent control, SB 721 balcony inspections, fair housing and DRE-compliant trust accounting. We track the legislation so you do not have to, and handle every required notice.

07

Aligned Fees & 72-Hour Reporting

Rent collected and disbursed within 72 hours, with monthly statements and annual 1099s. And we charge no management fee at all while your property sits vacant — we only earn when you earn.

08

Investment Property Strategy

From rental pricing to long-term ROI, we help investment property buyers get positioned correctly from day one, with market analysis and portfolio-level reporting.

Owner vs. Self-Manager

Rental Ownership Shouldn’t Be a Second Job

Self-management in California is getting harder every year. Here is what the difference actually looks like.

Vacancy
Self-managing: Pricing guesswork — lost income or long vacancies
With Management One: Market data + multi-platform listing, designed to lease fast
Maintenance
Self-managing: High one-off costs with no estimate before work begins
With Management One: 650+ pre-set prices. Cost confirmed within 15% upfront
Screening
Self-managing: Limited screening tools, fraud risk, costly CA evictions
With Management One: 40-year system + eviction protection built in
CA Compliance
Self-managing: AB 1482 errors, missed notices — constant legal risk
With Management One: Fully compliant — we handle every CA law change
Communication
Self-managing: Reactive to resident problems — high turnover, stress
With Management One: 9-point retention plan. Bi-monthly calls. 95% renewals
Payments
Self-managing: Manual tracking, late payments, missed tax deductions
With Management One: ACH 24-72 hrs · Monthly statements · Year-end 1099s

Owner Protection

Our Guarantees to Every Property Owner

Unlike many property management companies, we back our services with documented guarantees, not sales promises.

Management One seal reading Our Guarantees to Every Property Owner

Eviction Protection Guarantee

If a resident we place requires eviction within 12 months, we coordinate the entire process at no additional management fee. Our <1% eviction rate means this almost never happens.

Cancel Any Time on 30 Days Notice

No long-term contract and no termination fee, ever. Give us 30 days written notice whenever you choose and we hand the property back cleanly. We earn your business every month, not just at contract signing.

No Vacancy Fee Guarantee

Zero monthly management fees while your property is vacant. We only earn when you earn. That is what real estate management alignment looks like.

No Repair Markup Guarantee

We charge exactly what our vendors charge us. No markup, no kickback. Every invoice is in your owner portal with before and after photos. A project management fee may apply on rehabs and jobs above $2,000.

Free Rent Estimate

Find Out What Your Property Rents For

A property manager who works your city looks at the home itself, not a ZIP code average, and comes back with a number you can plan around.

  • A rent range for your specific property, bedrooms, condition and street
  • How long comparable homes are taking to lease in your city right now
  • What is worth fixing before it lists, and what to leave alone
Get My Free Rent Estimate → Takes about a minute to request. No obligation and no cost.
Still Deciding

Rent It, or Sell It?

Plenty of owners reach us mid decision. Selling closes the asset out. Renting keeps it, and keeps the income, but only if the numbers hold up.

  • What the property would rent for in today’s market
  • Carrying costs, vacancy risk and what management actually costs
  • An honest answer, including when the case for selling is stronger

Great management company. Inspection time has always raised the anxiety of my household by several levels but Jason always comes in with a very calming energy and reassures us all that we’re all on the same team. He walks us through anything that needs to change and why, and generally just makes the event as easy as it can be. Phenomenal inspector who makes working with this management one easy.

I had a wonderful experience with Management One Property Management, and I especially want to recognize my leasing agent, Joe Busico, for doing such an excellent job. Joe was professional, helpful, responsive, and made the entire leasing process smooth and stress-free. He kept me informed throughout, answered all of my questions, and made sure everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a property management company.

I have been looking to lease a home for a few months now. I started dealing with Kristine Alvarez from Management One. I had no idea there were so many steps to the process, but Kristine worked with us to ensure it was easier to maneuver. She was very thorough and patient with all the information and my many questions. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Kristine at Management One.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Property Management Services

What services does Management One offer as a property management company?

Management One provides full-service property management including rental marketing, 10-point tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination (80+ vetted vendors, zero markup), California legal compliance (AB 1482, SB 721, fair housing), financial reporting, annual inspections, and 24/7 online owner portal access. We manage single-family homes, condos and townhomes in Orange County and Riverside County.

How much do property management companies charge in Orange County?

Management One charges 8% of monthly collected rent, plus $795 for resident placement and $125 for the annual inspection. No fees during vacancy, no repair markups, and no termination fee at any point. All pricing is disclosed upfront, with no surprises.

What is Management One’s eviction rate?

Below 1% — compared to approximately 6% for the California property management industry. Our rigorous 10-point screening process checks credit, income, rental history, criminal background, eviction records, employment, fraud indicators, and more. Forty years of refining this process is why our eviction rate is where it is.

Does Management One handle AB 1482 and SB 721 compliance?

Yes. We manage all California landlord-tenant law including AB 1482 rent control (5% + local CPI, maximum 10%), SB 721 balcony and elevated structure inspections, habitability standards, fair housing, and DRE-compliant trust accounting. We handle required notices and documentation so you stay protected without tracking legislative changes yourself.

Do you provide property management services for out-of-state owners?

Yes. Many of our clients are out-of-state or international investors. Our property management services are built for remote ownership — we handle all operations and provide 24/7 online owner portal access so you always know exactly what’s happening with your investment.

What cities do you provide property management services in?

We serve 34 cities across Orange County and Riverside County including Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Cypress, Westminster, Corona, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Temecula, Riverside, and more. Call (949) 721-6608 for Orange County or (951) 735-2000 for Riverside County.

How does Management One compare to other property management companies in Orange County?

Most property management companies in Orange County charge similar fees, but the real differences are in eviction rates, repair transparency, and retention. Management One’s eviction rate is below 1% (vs. the ~6% California industry average), we charge zero markup on maintenance and repairs, we don’t charge management fees during vacancies, and we’ve retained over 90 property owners for more than 20 years. We’re one of the few Orange County property management companies that has operated in the same local market for 40+ years without outsourcing or rapid expansion.

What types of properties does Management One manage?

We provide property management services for single-family homes, condominiums and townhomes throughout Orange County and Riverside County. One property or a portfolio — our systems scale to fit.

What happens if my tenant doesn’t pay rent or causes damage?

If a tenant fails to pay rent, we serve the appropriate legal notices immediately and pursue collections per California law. If the situation escalates to eviction, our Eviction Protection Guarantee means we coordinate the entire process at no additional management fee for residents we placed. For damage beyond the security deposit, we document everything with photos and work with you on the appropriate remediation. Our rigorous screening process — which produces a <1% eviction rate — is the best protection against both scenarios.

What happens if there’s a maintenance emergency at 2am?

We have a dedicated 24/7 emergency maintenance line answered by a live person — not a voicemail or automated system. Emergency work orders are dispatched immediately to our network of on-call vendors. You’ll receive notification through your owner portal. Non-emergency maintenance requests are triaged within one business day and handled through our standard vendor network at standardized pricing with zero markup.

What does the owner portal show me, and how do I stay informed?

Your owner portal is updated in real time and gives you access to: monthly income and expense statements, maintenance requests with photos (before, during, and after), tenant rent ledger, lease documents and move-in/move-out inspection reports, annual 1099 tax documents, and direct messaging with your assigned property manager. You can log in from any device at any time — most of our out-of-state owners say it’s the primary reason they stay with us.

Can I cancel my management agreement, and am I locked into a long contract?

You can cancel at any time with 30 days written notice and no penalty. There is no long-term contract and no termination fee, at 90 days or at nine years. We would rather earn your business every month than hold you to a signature. We believe our results are the only thing that should keep you with us, which is why over 90 owners have stayed with Management One for more than 20 years.

How do I switch property management companies to Management One?

Switching property management companies is simpler than most owners expect. We handle the entire transition: we review your current management agreement for exit requirements, coordinate with your existing manager on the file transfer, collect all lease documents and tenant information, notify residents of the change, and take over operations — typically within 2–3 weeks. Many owners wait longer than they should with a company that isn’t delivering. If you’re considering switching, a 15-minute call with our team can clarify the process and timeline for your specific situation.

Is Management One the right property management company near me in Orange County or Riverside County?

Management One serves 34 cities across Orange County and Riverside County — from Anaheim, Irvine, and Newport Beach in OC to Riverside, Corona, Temecula, and Murrieta in Riverside County. As a locally owned company with 40+ years in these specific markets, our property managers know the local rental laws, vendor networks, neighborhoods, and pricing benchmarks that national or out-of-area companies simply don’t. If your property is in Southern California’s Orange or Riverside County, we are the local property management company built for your market.
