DEPARTMENTS:

Property Managers:  This team is as professional and experienced as you will find.  With a combined 30+ years of managing properties with SCREM, they are your go to team for all issues relating to lease agreements, late payments, rent increases, overseeing maintenance and repair work, and so much more.

 

Maintenance Department:  Led by Shawn Gardiner who has over 5 years of experience managing property maintenance. This team handles all maintenance needs.  When a tenant or owner has a repair request, our maintenance team begins by diagnosing the repair, scheduling our vendor partners to make the necessary repairs, and follow up with the vendor to confirm completion.  Repair requests are made by going to our website www.SCREM.com and going to the Renters tab and Clicking on Schedule Maintenance.

 

Handyman Department:  We are proud to announce that SCREM has our very own handyman department to offer to our owners! This department is led by Shawn Gardiner, who has over 5 years experience managing and scheduling different vendors to all types of residential and commercial properties.

 

Marketing / Sales Department:  This team works with our property owners in setting rental rates, listing and marketing the properties on over 70 websites, and updating and providing feedback on how properties are performing in the market.

 

Leasing Department: This department is led by a team of Licensed Agents with over 10 years of combined experience with SCREM. Our Leasing Agents meet potential tenants at properties to show them the home and answer any questions someone may ask.  We never have a property showing without one of our licensed agents as a way of ensuring our owner’s properties are safe and secured.

 

Processing Department: This department has over 20 years of combined experience with SCREM. They are in charge of screening every rental application that comes in as well as checking credit and debt to income ratios.  Our process is extremely thorough and includes an owner review of applications so the best possible decision can be made in terms of finding a good tenant.

Southern California Real Estate Management, Inc. has a less than 1% eviction rate, and 90% of the tenants that we have had to evict were not placed in the property by our firm, but were existing tenants that we had taken over management of.  These tenants were screened and placed in the property by the owner, a realtor or another property management company. We take pride in our screenings and working with our clients on helping them navigate how to choose the best tenants for their property.

Accounting Department: This department has over 15 years of experience.  This team handles any questions related to tenant rent payments, owner distribution payments, or owner statements.  They can be reached directly by email at accounting@screm.com
