The Laurel Company

The Laurel Company has been managing our rental (single family home in Santa Barbara) for more than 20 years. During that time they have provided complete full-service property management, including advertising vacancies, interviewing prospective tenants, and completing leases. They have recommended appropriate rent increases, being responsive both to the rental market and to our desire to retain good tenants. They have contracted for lawn service and other maintenance and repairs, recommending replacement of appliances, inspecting the property as needed. And, in the one case where tenants were violating the terms of the lease, they acted to terminate the tenancy after tenants did not comply. We have been extremely pleased with their professional attitude, good communication and responsiveness to our requests. It is hard to imagine how we could have kept this rental house without the management services provided by The Laurel Company. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
