Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

As the San Francisco East Bay Area real estate market continues to lean toward a strong rental market, Bay Area property management company,Stokley Properties Inc. would like to offer new and foreclosed-upon renters tips on securing a lease.

For a first-time renter or for someone re-entering the rental world after being far removed from it for years, Concord property management company, Stokley Properties recommends considering the following:

1)    Preparation is key. Have every necessary document ready.

2)    Those that have lost their homes due to a foreclosure or a short sale should have a letter of explanation ready. This should not be left to chance. Property management companies, such as Stokley Properties Inc., can work with people who have lost their homes, but they need to be prepared with documentation so that upon review of their application, their situation can easily be understood.

3)    Do not to prevaricate. If the property is priced correctly and is a clean and well-maintained home – in a desirable neighborhood – it will not stay on the market long. Therefore, renters are encouraged to bring their checkbooks, and if they like the property, to snap it up immediately!

The continuing havoc that the real estate industry has been cycling through is the main reason rental properties have been making a strong showing this year and beyond. Because of short sales and foreclosures, people who were once homeowners are now renters. For those who finds themselves in this situation, it is important to be aware of the market and what the competition is, as well as what they need to be prepared.

“I have been very happy with Joe Stokley and his team. All the clients I referred to him have expressed great happiness with the service he provided when they needed to rent a property. His property management service is very well received. I look forward to referring many more clients to him. We have known each other for many years and enjoy a close working relationship,” said Don and Norma Flaskerud, Realtors(R) of RE/MAX CC Connection.

For more information about any of Stokley Properties’ services, call 925-658-1415 or view the property management company on the web at www.stokleypropertieseastbay.net. Stokley Properties is located at 1630 N. Main St., Suite 54, in Walnut Creek.

About Stokley Properties Inc.

The Walnut Creek company, Stokley Properties, provides complete property management services throughout the greater San Francisco East Bay Area, including Concord, San Ramon, the Bay Area, Brentwood, Martinez and Oakland. It provides professional real estate investment advice to enable clients to make well-informed decisions.

Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) December 23, 2011

Bay Area property management company, Stokley Properties Inc. works closely with the real estate community to help their clients make the decision of whether to turn a home into a rental income-producing property. Currently, Stokely Properties is noticing a boost in the Bay Area Rental Homes Market due to lackluster home sales.

“It is important for a property owner to be aware of what the real estate market is going through now so that they can make informed and sound decisions,” Joseph Stokley Jr. of Stokley Properties Inc. said

Homeowners who chose not to sell their properties at depressed prices are deciding to wait it out and turn their homes into rental properties.

“We are seeing this happening more every month. The property owners are taking advantage of a very strong rental market as well,” reported The Contra Costa Times in Oct. 20.

Rents are also climbing sharply in the East Bay as people who were once homeowners look for places to rent after losing their homes to foreclosure or not making their mortgage payments.

Contra Costa County has seen a 7 percent increase since last year and Alameda County has seen an 8.7 percent increase in rents.

For more information on the Bay Area property management company, Stokley Properties Inc., call 925-658-1415, view it on the web at www.stokleypropertieseastbay.net or visit 1630 North Main St., Suite 54, Walnut Creek, CA 94596.

Ed Krafchow, CEO and chairman of BHG Mason-McDuffie spoke about how real estate exchanges hands in the United States, from title insurance to mortgage, and also discussed the health of the market. The delegates learned about Mason-McDuffie’s leading edge technology platform from CIO Dave Wilson, the company’s marketing approach and toolset from VP of New Media and Agent Resources Cathy Harrington, and the company’s growth strategy from David Gardner, president of Network Partners. EVP Keith Robinson spoke about company structure and operations.

“There is empirical evidence that no country has ever experienced democracy without strong homeownership. The American dream is damaged but still very alive. Homeownership in America is still a sought-after commodity and will emerge from this depressed economic environment stronger than ever. Realtors help people complete the American Dream,” says Krafchow on homeownership in the US.
