Owner FAQs

We serve all of Orange County, including both coastal and inland communities.

Specific areas include Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest and Dana Point.

We manage single-family homes, multi-family properties, condos, apartment buildings, commercial spaces, HOAs and short-term vacation rentals.

Whether you own a residential home or a commercial property in inland or coastal Orange County, our team is here to support you.

Regional and out-of-state investors, as well as inland and coastal property owners can benefit from partnering with us!

We serve hands-off owners and out-of-state investors looking for a highly reliable, boots-on-the-ground partner. If you live far from your property, you can trust us to protect your equity without constant oversight.

We also serve a broad spectrum of residential real estate owners across various tiers – from premium coastal properties to mainland residential investments. If you own a property in coastal or inland Orange County, our team is here!

Thanks to our targeted marketing strategy, most of our properties rent within 10-16 days.

We offer a 29-Day Leasing Guarantee, meaning that if we don't find a qualified tenant within 29 days, your first month of management is free.

We run comprehensive background checks including credit reports, criminal history, eviction records, employment verification, and multi-point reference checks. Our thorough process protects your investment.

We prepare a comprehensive, legally compliant California lease agreement tailored to your property. Our leases include all required disclosures, addendums, and protective clauses to safeguard your investment and ensure enforceability.

We collect the security deposit and first month's rent before move-in, ensuring all funds are properly documented and held in compliance with California security deposit laws. We provide clear accounting from day one.

Of course! Before the tenant moves in, we conduct a detailed inspection with timestamped photos documenting the condition of every room, surface and appliance.

This documentation protects you during the move-out process and any security deposit disputes.

At White Sail Realty, we offer all of our clients 6 guarantees that no other property management company in the area offers:

1. 29-Day Leasing: We place a tenant within 29 days. If not, the first month of management is free.
2. 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: Not happy in the first 30 days? 100% refund of fees paid. No questions asked. Any reason.
3. Eviction Protection: If a tenant we placed needs to be evicted, we cover labor costs for filing and court representation.
4. Pet Damage Guarantee: If a screened pet causes damage beyond the deposit, we reimburse up to $500.
5. Results-First Pricing: You don't pay the leasing fee until we deliver results. We handle everything before you pay a dime.
6. On-Time Payment Guarantee: You get your payments by the 15th each month. If late, that month's management is free.

Our guarantee program offers an all-in-one safety net for your investment. We put our money where our mouth is.
