Maintenance Impacts Pricing

The amount you’re able to charge in rent will depend on property conditions. When you’re renting out a Santa Cruz home that’s in great shape, attractive, and full of improvements and amenities that get the attention of residents, you’re going to earn more. If your property is deteriorating and aging, you’ll have to settle for less rent.

We’ll help with an accurate and detailed rental analysis. Get in touch with us and ask for some free estimates.

Seasonal Maintenance and Santa Cruz Rental Properties

This is Santa Cruz, which has year-round sunshine and mild temperatures. Seasonal maintenance still matters, and it’s one of the ways we effectively protect and maintain your investment property.

Santa Cruz’s unique location and year-round appeal make it a profitable market for rental property investors. When we’re your property management partners, our careful consideration of seasonality allows us to stay on a consistent schedule of HVAC inspections, roofing evaluations, plumbing check-ins, and landscaping updates. With this approach, investors can maximize their income without overburdening themselves with constant tenant turnover that comes with properties that are not well-maintained.

Leverage our tools and professional support to enhance your Santa Cruz investment property’s profits and unlock its full potential.

Stokley Properties has managed my rental properties for the past six years, and I can confidently say that they are truly exceptional. Their communication is top-notch, they respond quickly, and they consistently go above and beyond to support both us as landlords and our tenants. Over the years, we’ve had a few emergencies pop up, and every time, their team was on it—day or night—handling the situation with professionalism and fairness. They never price-gouged or took advantage of urgent circumstances. The real estate division at Stokley has also helped me purchase multiple properties, including the one my family now calls home. Every person I’ve interacted with—from the owner to the staff to the handyman who helped paint our house—has been professional, kind, and highly capable. What sets them apart is that they are a family-owned business that truly puts people first. Their values show up in how they operate and how they treat clients. If you're looking for a company that knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares, Stokley is it. I couldn’t recommend them more. ~Dr. Vic
