Leasing Expertise

Leasing a Santa Clara property requires a deep understanding of the market and the competition. Our goal is to find you the most qualified renter and to lease your home quickly. Vacancy costs are expensive, and best avoided. We advertise your property online and through our extensive network of contacts. We screen your tenants to ensure we have a high performing tenant who pays rent consistently and takes care of your property.

Do you have a rental property near Alta Mira, Pacific Gardens, Talavera, Westwood, or the surrounding neighborhoods?

We are here to improve the leasing process and make the placement of great tenants a priority.

Our leasing process targets:

  • Rental property pricing that’s competitive.

  • Reduced vacancy rates to save you money.

  • Property inspections prior to listing your home.

  • Marketing and advertising your rental property.

  • Property showings and efficient applications.

  • Tenant screening that’s fair, consistent, and thorough.

  • Lease agreements that protect your property and limit your liability.

Once we successfully place an outstanding tenant, we can seamlessly move into the ongoing management of your home. Some of the investors we work with prefer to manage on their own. In that case, we’ll hand the tenants over to you, and remain available for any questions you have or problems you encounter.

Happy Customer

Very large quotation mark

I used REC Rental Service to manage my condo rental in Saratoga for about 20 years. Bob and Diane took care of everything; finding and managing good tenants, paying the bills, sending statements, and keeping me informed.. We did a minor remodel 6 years ago, and they found all the subcontractors and managed the whole project. I recently decided to sell the condo, and used REC Real Estate to list and sell the unit. Mike took care of getting new carpet, paint, staging, etc.. The unit sold in just a couple days for above asking price. Mike kept me up to date throughout the entire process, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. This is a family business, and I have been very happy to work with them for all these years.

We’ve had a good experience renting from Real Estate Connections. The house is very nice, including the HVAC system that filters the air. If we ever have a maintenance request, it’s resolved in a timely manner.
