Crestmont Realty · San Diego
Full-service property management for San Diego's coastal region and surrounding neighborhoods
San Diego's leading source for local rental market information.
Coronado, La Jolla, Del Mar, Point Loma, and surrounding neighborhoods. Single-family homes, condos, and small multifamily. We know this market at the neighborhood level, month by month, because we measure it. Current rents, vacancy, and days on market for over 50 San Diego neighborhoods, published every month and applied to your property.
Why owners choose Crestmont
We know your neighborhood this month, not last year
Market expertise ages fast. A rent read from last year's lease is already wrong. Ours is measured every month. Current rents, vacancy, and days on market for over 50 San Diego neighborhoods, published under our name. When we tell you where your neighborhood stands, we are reading it, not recalling it.
The data describes the market. It does not price your property, and it is not investment advice. Pricing is judgment work, and it helps to see the context that judgment comes from.
Judgment, with better inputs
San Diego's neighborhoods are their own micro-markets. True comparables are scarce, and county averages mislead. Setting the right rate for a Coronado single-family home, a La Jolla condo, or a Point Loma fourplex is judgment work, weighing condition, timing, and a thin set of true comparables against current neighborhood data instead of memory.
That judgment is what a Crestmont rental analysis delivers. Our team's read on your specific property, prepared with the same current data we publish, and yours with no obligation.
Built for San Diego rentals and their owners
A San Diego rental deserves more than a lockbox and a listing. Every property we take on, from a single condo to a fourplex, gets a 3D condition scan, professional photography, licensed and insured vendors, and documented move-in and move-out records. The kind of care an irreplaceable asset calls for.
Many of our owners live in another city, another state, or another country. Monthly statements, an owner portal, and California FTB filing and withholding support for out-of-state owners keep the property close no matter where you are.
We own and manage San Diego rentals ourselves, and we run every client property the way we run our own. That sets a high bar, and we look for owners who want that bar as much as we do.

Common questions
Owner questions, answered
What types of properties do you manage?
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small multifamily properties, on long-term leases. Small multifamily is a significant part of the portfolio we manage today, and the monthly neighborhood data we publish covers apartment and condo rents by bedroom count.
Which areas do you manage?
We serve the San Diego coastal region and surrounding neighborhoods, including Coronado, La Jolla, Del Mar, Point Loma, and Carlsbad. If you are unsure whether we cover your property, ask us.
Do you manage furnished properties?
Yes. We manage both furnished and unfurnished single-family homes, condos, and small multifamily properties on long-term leases.
I live out of state. Can you handle the California requirements?
Yes. We support out-of-state owners with California FTB filing and withholding requirements, including requesting exemptions where applicable, alongside monthly statements and your owner portal.
How do you decide what my property should rent for?
Our team weighs your property's condition, timing, and true comparables, informed by the current neighborhood data we publish each month. The published data describes the market. The pricing recommendation is our team's judgment, prepared for your specific property.
Where does your rental market information come from?
We measure it ourselves. Crestmont is San Diego's leading source for local rental market information, with current rents, vacancy, and days on market for over 50 neighborhoods, updated every month and published under our name. The data describes the market. It is not a price for your property and it is not investment advice.
How much does property management cost in San Diego?
Most full-service management in San Diego runs 6 to 10% of collected rent, with leasing and other fees varying by company. Crestmont's pricing is published in full on our pricing page, with no hidden fees.
What happens if my tenant stops paying rent?
We act immediately and handle the process end to end. That means resident communication, the notices California law requires, documented follow-up, and coordination of next steps if the situation escalates. You stay informed at every stage without having to manage it yourself.
Should I self-manage or hire a property manager?
It depends on your time, your distance from the property, and how you value both. Our self-managing vs. property manager calculator compares the two paths using live market rates, so you can decide with real numbers.
Do you own rental property yourselves?
Yes. Our principals own and manage San Diego rental properties of their own. The processes on this page are the same ones we use for our own homes.
Do you manage HOAs?
No, by choice. We manage long-term residential rentals for individual owners and investors. Staying focused on that work is part of why it gets done well.
