Thorough Tenant screening

We run a stringent screening process to find your potential tenants. Our formatted applications aim to gather as many details as possible about prospective tenants. From 18 years to older, everyone needs to complete our application before renting a property.

We look for individuals and families who have a record of being respectful tenants. We verify all important things like employment, identity, credit score, previous tenancy history and criminal record to minimize risks and deliver outstanding renters. We want residents who treat your property respectfully and lease it in the long run.

Comprehensive Rental Leasing

One common mistake owners make is downloading a random lease template and using it for their rental properties. But it won’t work and puts you in a legal pickle. We draft a strong lease agreement that is specific and legally compliant with state laws.

Our leases are designed to protect you, your property and your residents against all types of liabilities. We include all the necessary rules, regulations, and obligations to set the right expectations. Our team works hard to enforce a lease agreement and build professional and respectful relationships with your tenants.

Our services include everything from professional accounting, property maintenance, and transparent communication to regular property inspections, legal support and emergency repair services designed to protect your asset.

As a homeowner, I am so very pleased with the fine service I received from Stokley! I came to Stokley with an urgent need to rent out my new Pleasant Hill home prior to our moving into it later this year. the timing was tricky (a lease for less than a year), and the money was critical (we had to cover some very high carrying costs of this new home). Joe Stokley and his team immediately shared my sense of urgency, were super easy to work with, and met my every need. They were able to find a renter within the week who moved into the home a few days later at the price we set. They accomplished all this during the height of the holiday season (when many workers generally take off). Needless to say, I could not be more pleased! I highly recommend them.

I couldn't be happier with the services provided by STOKLEY PROPERTIES. Even before I had decided on listing my property, Joe went over the residence with me and pointed out all the little things I could do to get good tenants and a fair price. This saved me so much money upfront, and produced incredible tenants, who are now in their second year with us. The professionalism and efficiency of this company are truly refreshing in the current climate of rip-offs and questionable deal-makers. I whole-heartedly endorse STOKLEY PROPERTIES as THE premiere property management service in this area.

Hi there, My experience with Stokley Properties has been an awesome one. I wouldn't be here right now, i had a few issues on my App and they worked with the Home Owners of the Property and i was able to move in right away. Before I was referred to them i went to two other Property Managment Co's i was turned away by one, "sorry, can't help you" and the other one wanted an arm & a leg, fees, costs, etc. I have been with them just over a few months, they have a terrific team that's devoted to the Business and thier Clients, they're also very knowledgeable of the Bay Area too. Thank you Stokley Properties Todd R. Gretler Martinez Ca
