Pro photography & syndication
Architectural photographer at the right hour, clear floor plans, and listing on 30+ rental marketplaces.
Owner services
Salt-air management for the long haul.
A full-service team for owners with one home or fifty. Flat fees, monthly statements, and vendors who actually return calls. Twelve years on the North County coast.
What's included
Six services in one flat fee.
Every line item, every month, no exceptions. The 8% covers everything below — the only added charges are flat eviction handling and per-vendor invoices, both at cost.
Credit, income, eviction, criminal
Reports run against criteria we publish openly. Two-business-day decision turnaround on average.
California-compliant leases
E-signature, deposit handling, and a hand-off walkthrough on every move-in. We hold the deposit in a broker trust account.
Vetted local trades
Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, landscape — all licensed and insured. No markup, no minimums.
Monthly statements + 1099
Owner portal with itemized rent ledger, expense detail, year-end 1099-MISC, and CSV export.
Spring & fall walkthroughs
Photographic, room-by-room. Salt-corrosion check on coastal-facing homes. Report delivered same week.
How onboarding works
From handshake to first rent check.
01
Free analysis
You send us the address. We send back a comp-backed monthly rent estimate, days-to-lease window, and prep notes — within one business day.

Walkthrough
A manager visits the home, takes baseline photos, and flags anything that needs to happen before listing.
03
Sign & list
We countersign the management agreement, schedule the photographer, and have your home live across 30+ sites within five business days.
04
Lease & pay
Average tenant placement is 18 days. First rent collected on move-in; you're paid out by the 10th of the following month, every month.
One flat fee. No surprises.
8% of collected rent, monthly, on a 12-month agreement with a 60-day exit clause. That covers marketing, leasing, screening, accounting, and inspections. Maintenance is billed at vendor cost.
- No lease-up fee
- No renewal fee
- No maintenance markup
- No 12-month lock-in
What 8% looks like.
A $4,500/month home costs $360/month to manage — less than what most owners spend on phantom vacancies, late maintenance, and tax-time scrambling on a self-managed lease.
Why owners choose us
Local hands, transparent books.

Long-term thinking
27-month average tenancy versus a 16-month regional average. Less turnover, less wear, more predictable returns.
Owner stories
From owners who handed us the keys.
After three rocky management companies, finding Driftwood Property Co. felt like dropping anchor. They actually pick up the phone.
My monthly statement is the first one I've ever actually understood. Every dollar tagged, every line itemized.
Listed our place on a Tuesday, signed a 24-month lease nine days later. Above asking rent. Done.
