All of our marketing techniques are aimed at securing long-term occupancy by quality tenants, which maximizes revenue for you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Swell lives up to their name and beyond! From my first interaction with Tyler to discuss property management, I knew I was with the right company. A meeting and tour of the home were arranged immediately, where I was also able to meet Dana. From then, anything that was needed to rent the house was handled! From market research and comps, photos, advertising, vetting tenants, interfacing with the HOA, and fielding myriad questions from an anxious homeowner, Tyler has absolutely excelled. He continues to be communicative, informative, available and a really nice human! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swell to anyone seeking their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Kevin Osborn from Swell Property as my Mom's Realtor. Downsizing and selling a longtime home can be emotional and overwhelming, but Kevin handled everything with patience and professionalism.  From the very beginning, he took the time to explain each step clearly, making sure my mom felt comfortable with every decision. Kevin understood that this was a major life transition and approached things that way with my Mom. He went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, coordinating details and keeping us informed every step of the way.

Thanks to Kevin's expertise, my Mom's home sold quickly and at a great price. More importantly, she felt supported and cared for throughout the entire journey.

I would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone, especially families helping senior loved ones navigate the sale of a home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am over 80 years of age, and my realtor, Kevin Osborn, was instrumental in helping me downsize from a 2500 sq. ft. home to one of 1200 sq. ft. in just 6 weeks. In the downsize process, Kevin had tremendous resources for consignment, donation and out right sale of my belongings. More importantly, Kevin approached the process with patience, kindness, understanding and, at times, humor as well.

Kevin’s knowledge of the market was thorough, and his resources for staging and marketing my home led to a smooth transition into my new home. Ultimately, Kevin expertly negotiated with 3 interested buyers, which ensured that I received the maximum value for my home.

I wholeheartedly recommend my realtor, Kevin Osborn at Swell Property, for he handled every step of my move with compassion,  professionalism and integrity, thus  making a difficult process feel manageable and positive. Thank you, Kevin!

Contemplating whether to hire professional managers to oversee daily operations of your rental unit might seem overwhelming at first, mostly due to insufficient information. It has been proven countless times that a property management company can provide assurance and confidence, but also improve your lifestyle. Some of the advantages include increased ROI, increased long-term occupancy, minimized vacancies, improved tenant relations, lower expenses, legal compliance, rigorous safety standards, and increased value of the property.

2. Should I invest in rental property in Ocean Beach?

Ocean Beach, a coastal neighborhood of San Diego, is a very popular destination, not only for tourism, but also for major business conferences and events. The economy is robust and the weather is great year round, which makes it one of the most desirable places to live and to visit. For current and future homeowners, these are all positive sides that prove investing in this area is a wise choice.

3. What can I do to keep occupancy rates high?

Maintaining high occupancy rates is one of the most important factors in the rental business, because it guarantees a continuous revenue influx. As a homeowner, you are probably aware of how challenging it can be to keep the tenants for a prolonged period of time. However, certain improvements in living conditions are most likely to cause residents to commit to a longer stay. Some of these improvements involve adjusting rental price, regular (preventative) maintenance and repairs, fast response time to resident’s inquiries, property improvements, landscaping, exceptional customer support, and so on.
