How the scorecards work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the company, owners and tenants alike. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 4.8 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What property management costs in Santa Rosa

We don’t list prices here because none of the companies on this page publishes its fees in the data we reviewed. Typical charges include a monthly management fee, often set as a share of rent, a leasing or tenant placement fee, and charges for maintenance coordination or inspections. Fees depend on the size of the property, whether it is a single-family home or multi-family, and which services you want included. Ask each company for its full fee schedule and contract terms in writing.

Property management in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County

These companies manage rentals in Santa Rosa and across Sonoma County, with some also listing Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Cotati, Windsor and Healdsburg.

Questions to ask before hiring a property manager

  • What is your monthly management fee, and what other fees will I be charged?
  • Who will be my day-to-day contact, and how often does that person change?
  • How do you screen tenants and handle late rent?
  • How do you handle maintenance approvals and which vendors do you use?
  • What are the contract length and the terms for ending it early?
  • Do you manage single-family homes, or only larger buildings?

Frequently asked questions

Do these companies manage vacation rentals?

The reviews and websites we read describe long-term residential rentals, not short-stay or vacation rentals. If you want that, ask each company directly.

Why do some reviews come from tenants?

Property managers serve both owners and renters, so Google reviews mix the two. When reading them, check whether the reviewer was an owner or a tenant.

Choosing a manager

PURE HomeRiver is the default on sheer volume with 816 reviews at 4.4, while Woodruff and Wine Country Property Management have higher ratings on smaller samples. Read the most recent reviews from owners, and get the fee schedule in writing before you sign.
