We Outrank The Best Property Management Companies in California

The results are in: we found the top-rated property management companies in California, as rated by real landlords on Google. And Belong outranks them all. All things created equal, if you were to review a top-10 list of businesses rated 4.5 stars and above, by over 100 people in the Cali rental market, Belong comes in at #1. 

But it’s not equal. Because Belong should be on a new list entirely. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot to compare against Belong services, so we have included property management companies so you can see the difference. 

When comparing property management companies in Los Angeles or San Diego, you’ll find a sea of sameness, with few unique traits between them. How much do they charge for management fees and how often you are going to get slogged for more. For a long time, the industry hasn’t offered homeowners much choice, other than going it alone.  

With Belong, there’s no comparison. Because Belong isn’t a property management company, it’s a completely unique experience that is humanizing the rental market. 

Belong's smarter, future-ready services include:

• Guaranteed rent every month, regardless of if or when your residents pay

• Optimized rental pricing that uses technology and real-time demand to price your home with accuracy

• The Belong app that gives you and your residents access to everything you need

• Innovative financial products including the option to spread maintenance payments over the term of your lease agreement

• Access to dedicated landlords insurance to protect your asset (as well as coverage for your residents)

• Integration with the most popular rental platforms to get your home loved faster

• Instant access to an expansive vendor network of over 10,000 professionals that can handle everything from routine repairs to home upgrades

And even though Belong isn’t a property manager, the reviews outrank those who are. Check out Belong’s top-ranked listing before you compare with the rest:

Evictions: If you are participating in a plan that includes eviction protection, the cost of an uncontested eviction is included in your management fee (Premium and Premium Plus pricing only). In the case that the tenant contests and it goes to court, it will cost an additional $350 -$450 and possibly more depending on the tenants legal actions. If your property is tenant occupied at the time you start management services, the eviction protection does not apply in the first 180 days of service.
