Managing Your California Property

In California, real estate management is usually performed by an individual or team of individuals who have sufficient knowledge of the real estate industry. California real estate management can encompass either residential real estate or commercial real estate. The skills that you need are basically the same although one is much more complex than the other. 

California real estate management with regard to residential real estate can consist of managing condominium units or large apartment complexes. There are various duties performed for each type of property and anyone who is seeking to go into California real estate management in the residential spectrum should be familiar with all aspects including tenant versus property owner laws, building codes, etc. Professionals in the real estate management industry in California will also need to understand their duty to act on behalf of the property owner, not on behalf of the tenant.

Large apartment complexes usually employ a property management service to oversee the complex. In California, real estate management for a large apartment complex might include collecting rent checks, running credit checks on prospective tenants, advertising for tenants, paying building upkeep and salaries to anyone who works in the building, such as the custodian or security personnel. Other duties in California real estate management for a large apartment complex might include taking care of all common area maintenance including parking lots, garages, pools, lounges and recreational areas. The property management service will also be making sure real estate taxes have been paid and paying common utilities. Lawn care, sprinkler systems and upkeep of the building all falls on the shoulders of the California real estate management team. 

Another thing a person should know when getting into California real estate management is the landlord tenant laws.

Any questions regarding the lease from the tenant will most likely be addressed to the property manager, so it is important for anyone in California real estate management to have a good understanding of the California landlord tenant laws. 

Many people who work in the California real estate management arena deal with condominium management. If you are interested in learning about this aspect of the job, you will have to learn about the bylaws and association declaration laws in the state of California.  As condominiums are owned by those who live in them, there are no tenant landlord leases,  however, the declaration laws can must be adhered to by the owners. While the owners cannot be evicted, if they do not pay their assessments, a lien can be placed on their property. Anyone who works in California real estate management should understand the lien laws and how to place a lien on a piece of property.
