Who are we?
7 WAYS WE ARE BETTER THAN COMPETITIONS
We own and manage. With over $50m worth of properties, and 300 units under management, many of which our own properties, and a combined experience of over 50 years, SUM Property Management has the scale and deep domain expertise to handle all your property management needs.
1. PROOF OF COMPLETED WORK
As landlords ourselves, we understand the importance of knowing exactly where every dollar goes. For every maintenance job we complete, we provide a detailed invoice along with before-and-after photos, giving you full transparency and peace of mind that the work was done right.
2. MASSIVE LISTING NETWORK
Our distribution software will push your rental listings to dozens of partnered sites, including Zillow, Apartments.com, Redfin and many others. Anyone looking for a rental, will very likely see your property.
We rely on data-driven insights, analyzing the latest market trends to help you price your rental competitively and get it leased quickly. Typical leasing time is 2-3 weeks.
3. AI-POWERED SCREENING
With our AI-driven tenant screening technology, powered by leading data providers like Experian and CIC*, we analyze comprehensive data—including credit history, income verification, rental and eviction records, and collection history—using predictive analytics to assess default risk accurately and minimize potential delinquencies.
4. AFFORDABLE IN-HOUSE CONTRACTORS
We have a dedicated team of skilled handymen and licensed contractors, capable of handling everything from minor fixes to full remodel. By managing our own maintenance services, we provide in-house rates that are more cost-effective than most third-party contractors. That means quality work without the inflated price tag. If you choose, we can also work with your own contractors or home warranty with no extra cost. Whether your property is in Manteca, Lathrop, Tracy, Stockton or any nearby cities, we’ve got you covered.
5. TENANT FRIENDLY
We understand tenants come in all size and shapes. Some more technologically savvy, some less. We offer solutions that cater to both. Tenants can pay rent electronically online, or pay cash at thousands of partnered retail locations across the country, including CVS, 7-11, Walmart. Tenants can submit a request electronically on their portal, or they can call in to our maintenance center if they prefer a more traditional way of communication.
6. PRIVACY. PEACE OF MIND
We respect your privacy. Your personal contact information will never be given to the tenant if you choose to remain anonymous. All communications and maintenance requests are routed through our professional team. That means no more late-night calls about clogged toilets, broken appliances, or other urgent issues — we handle it all, so you can enjoy true peace of mind.
7. ACCOUNTING. 1099s
We take accounting seriously to protect your investment. Our operation is powered by the latest, industry-standard software. We provide monthly Profit & Loss income statement. You will receive annual 1099 tax document for easy filing. Our team oversees owner draws, tracks delinquencies, approves expenses, and supports annual budgeting to keep your property financially strong. You’ll always have clear, organized records — and peace of mind.
