Company

About Us

Founded in 1986, Sterling Property Management, Inc., has been serving owners of apartment properties in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties for over thirty-five years. During that time Sterling Property Management, Inc. has managed nearly three hundred properties consisting of approximately three thousand units, varying in size from as small as a duplex to as large as over one hundred units per location. While the vast majority of our management efforts have been directed to apartment management, our experience also encompasses some commercial/retail locations.   Our experience also encompasses managing various ownership entities including individuals, partnerships, tenant-in-common groups, and LLCs.

The staff members of Sterling Property Management, Inc. possess collective expertise of over one hundred thirty-five years of experience in the professional property management field.  Possessing a background in real estate sales as well, Sterling’s staff members are acutely aware of the market in which we operate. Having been in business for over thirty-five years, we have experienced a wide swing in market conditions and have developed the acuity to understand and adjust to the dynamics of ever-changing operating conditions.

It is incumbent upon us to remain vigilant about analyzing the direction rental markets may be heading and adapt accordingly.

The mainstay of our company has always been the desirability of property management without the stress and uncertainty of “going it alone”. Most of our clients desire to work, travel, recreate, enjoy family, etc. without the constant interruption of site management. Our services are comprehensive in nature including the hiring of any on-site personnel, the oversight of this personnel, the orchestration and oversight of property maintenance and improvements/upgrades, dealing with tenant relation matters, collection of all rental income, interface with all owners regarding various matters and distribution of all report materials and owner disbursements on a monthly basis. The method of reporting is through a spreadsheet format which gives the client a “snapshot” of operations for the entire year. The supporting information can include but is not limited to, rent rolls, collection reports, general ledgers, bank reconciliations, and copies of actually paid bills. In addition, and uncommon in the industry, each of our clients receives an explanation report clarifying top line collections and various expenditures each month. It is our philosophy that the more informed you are, the more comfortable you will be.

To provide the most thoughtful, discerning and innovative property management service possible. We are dedicated not only to preserving your asset through attentive management techniques, but also to enhancing the value of your property through efficient and proactive implementation of effective management strategies.

Your total satisfaction is our commitment to you!

TESTIMONIALS

For the past 25 plus years we have enjoyed a wonderfully profitable relationship with Sterling Property Management, Inc. and her sister company CapitalVest, Inc., beginning with repositioning equity from three small properties into a 25 unit apartment community.  Under the skillful and caring guidance of Sterling and CapitalVest this 25 unit apartment community is truly the goose that has laid many golden eggs in the form of abundant cash flow in conjunction with prudent releveraging of appreciated equities into several other apartment communities, all of which generate abundant cash flow.  Sterling and her sister company CapitalVest have truly been in a blessing in our lives.

My initial introduction to Sterling Property Management began by contracting to manage a 45 unit apartment community located within the city of Brea. To say the least, over the years my experience with the management staff has lived up to and actually exceeded their Sterling reputation. Most recently, this seasoned relationship with Sterling lead to the introduction to their sister company, CapitalVest, Inc., which represented me in the purchase of a 42 unit apartment community located within the city of Lakewood, which of course, is under the expert guidance of Sterling Property Management, Inc.

Sterling Property Management handles seven apartment communities totaling 115 units. We have always been very pleased with the personal attention we have received. In an investment environment where often clients feel nothing more than another customer, we have always received a caring and concerned approach to the management of our properties. We would be hard pressed to find another company staffed with people that care about our best interest the way Sterling always has.

Beginning in the mid 1990’s, CapitalVest, Inc. was the conduit to my relationship with Sterling Property Management, Inc.  Under the brokerage umbrella of CapitalVest, Inc., Hal Pappano, broker owner, skillfully represented me in the acquisition of (two) fourplex properties that were subsequently placed under the astute guidance of Sterling.  Soon thereafter these properties were exchanged into larger apartment communities that generously support all of my retirement needs.  I have found that the successful foundation of Sterling’s management approach is their compassionate care for the residents that support each apartment community.  Under the direction and expeditious planning of Sterling, exterior renovations of my properties exude a wow factor that separates them from surrounding competition, complimented with very desirable yet cost effective interior renovations, resulting in unimaginable cash flow and capital appreciation.  The combined efforts of Sterling and CapitalVest working in tandem has produced a financial freedom for me well in advance of my retirement years.

After several failed experiences with other property management companies, Sterling Property Management was referred to us.  Under the careful and carrying guidance of Sterling, operation results associated with our apartment community has exceeded our expectations.  We can now freely travel, knowing that one of our most valuable assets supplementing our retirement income is in the hands of a team of professionals that care for our property as though it was theirs.  Out experience has truly been Sterling.
