Why should I choose Jambi Property Management?

There are many reasons why Jambi Property Management is your number one choice for property management in the South Bay & Westside areas of Los Angeles, California.  We have a combined experience of almost 50 years in the real estate market. We have helped over one hundred local homeowners that, for a multitude of reasons, had an investment property and needed trusted advisors to guide them through a sometimes arduous process and make sure their real estate asset was in good hands.

How long will it take to rent my property?

It depends on it's marketability (i.e. the condition of the home, how much you're asking in rent, and what the local market will support). We typically find quality South Bay and Westside tenants in 30 days (average) but our Unmatched marketing efforts can often attract an applicant in a matter of a few days or a couple of weeks!




How do you determine a rental rate for our property?

We specialize in valuating single family homes, town homes, and condominiums in the geographic market where we also happen to live!  We have our finger on the pulse of the market. Between using our own in-house private data, knowledge of the local neighborhoods, previous properties we've rented in the area, and a thorough personal inspection of your property, we formulate a rental rate that will attract quality tenants in 30 days with a full deposit.  After having worked for nearly 10 years a commercial real estate appraiser specializing in multi-family properties with the highly prestigious CBRE, Inc., Jon Grogan is an expert in providing his clients with a sound valuation analysis that will accurately provide you with a trusted broker opinion of value.  It's a rarity for local agents, brokers, and property managers to also have an extensive background in appraisal.  




How will my property be shown?

No keys will be given out! Unlike other management companies that give tenants the lockbox code or keys, your property will only be shown to pre-qualified tenants by one of our professional leasing agents who has access and of course in-depth knowledge about your home.




How do I know you’ll find a qualified tenant?

Once the prospective tenant says; “I want to rent this house,” we employ several outside companies to our proprietary software program that will run a credit report, conduct back ground check, review employment history, rental history, and check local and national sexual offender databases, and offer a recommendation. Upon that recommendation, we enlighten you with our findings, to help you make the final decision on your new tenants.




How do I get my rent money?

Tenants know that rents are due on or before the 1st of each and every month. The income is collected and posted to your account. Owners receive a detailed summary report generated and mailed on the 23-25th of the month and owner funds are transferred to their bank account via ACH process.




How do you keep maintenance cost under control?

We have work with specialized, local South Bay and Westside vendors that are qualified to handle any issue that may arise with the home. We do not mark up parts like other companies so you receive the best work at the best price, if any issues occur. We will actively work with our clients home warranty company to help reduce costs.




Will the tenants take good care of my home?

There is always a risk that your tenant will not treat your home as well as you would.  In general, though, damages past normal wear and tear are the exception.




Can I leave the house partially furnished?

In general, unfurnished rentals typically find a tenant faster, however, we are more than happy to oblige your wishes to rent your home on a furnished basis.  We have experience marketing these types of rentals in the South Bay and Westside markets as well.




Do I need to take care of the lawn?

Landlords typically handle all lawn care and maintenance.  We do offer full landscape services to you or tenant as an option.




Should I cancel my utilities after I move out?

No. Make sure to leave the utilities in your name until transferring over to the new tenant when they move in. If you cancel, there is a risk of damage during cold weather (i.e. Plumbing, appliances, sump pumps, damaging plumbing, appliances), and it’s a lot more work getting them turned back on as a “new” service under the tenant’s name.




We are still living in the home. Should we move out, or try to rent while I still live here?

We strongly recommend that the house be vacant and rent ready at the time the advertising goes out. Statistics show a clean, spacious (no furniture), rent ready home allows the buyer to see the home at the spur of the moment and envision the home as their own. Being vacant also allows tenants a quick 2-4 week move-in date.




Do I have to continue to have homeowners insurance or will the tenant be responsible for insurance?

Yes. You should maintain a landlord policy on the property. The tenants can’t carry homeowners insurance since they don’t own the house, but we mandate all tenants to carry renters insurance for their personal belongings. It’s always a good idea to contact your insurance agent and let them know you’re renting the house and make sure you are protected.




I would like to move out of my house within 6 weeks, when should we start the process?

Today. It’s never a good thing to wait until the last minute, especially in today’s current economy. It’s a perfect time to start lining up prospective tenants.




I see other agents rent out homes. How how do you differ from them?

Unfortunately there are many agents and brokerages that have ZERO property management experience and definitely not specializing in the rental of single family homes, town homes, and condominiums.  A word of caution: they might not be insured to manage properties.
