Metrotuned Real Estate

We generate perpetual cash flow from properties

Maximum Market Rental Efficiency

We are all in this together. Tenant landlord relationship's: we can do better. We act diligently to generate the best return on rental properties for all parties. We do this by providing a safe and clean home to the tenant, with a competitive rental price. We advertise exactly what to expect and expediently find the best fit, most qualified tenant for the landlord because consistency is essential.

Complaining is not a strategy when it comes to an underused, undervalued vacant property. Experience informed fortitude is required to make the correctly timed choices. Landlords can be assured that their property will be evaluated, advertised, marketed, and rented within 2-3 weeks from advertising. Trust is wealth.

From tenant finding services, to additions and remodeling, our team can do it all in house. We oversee all functions in residential and commercial real estate: valuation, purchasing, selling, buying, leasing, advertising, accounting, insurance claims, dispute resolution, project management, subcontracting, pulling permits, contingencies, coordinating with multiple contractors and city officials to meet deadlines. Allow us to lease your income property and generate consistent income for you in record time.

Supercharger Tesla EV Ready

Commercial 200A Electrical Panel NEMA Replacement: Sub-contracted electrician with EV background to replace 50 year old electrical panel and upgrade from 100A to 200A power, pulled permits with City of Concord for electrical work, coordinated with city staff and PG&E for project completion.

Painting a 1903 Piedmont Victorian

Year 1903 antique Piedmont Victorian paint project started small with replacing a section of wood rot on the upper floor. The framing uses 2x4s that measure an actual 2" x 4" using Oakland Hills giant redwoods - great foundation. Our sub-contractor ambitiously estimated one month, which turned into three months. It's not just any painter that can handle sanding and filling wood siding. Carpentry restoration requires patience. Not the BEST person for the job, but the RIGHT person for the job. Bonus: Dero Bike rack installed in the rear courtyard encourages tenants to ride bikes for an active lifestyle. Re-roof and city-mandated earthquake retrofit projects in motion for 2020 & 2021.

Budget-minded bathroom addition with limited resources and infrastructure. This commercial warehouse had a toilet water closet, nothing else. Copper water supply lines replaced the old PVC piping. Creative came up with an antique ebony vanity, marble countertop, stone vessel sink, vent pipe for flushing, a hose bib and drain access for option of laundry washer/dryer and hosing down the concrete floors, electrical sub-panel to handle uprated wattage of the instant hot water heater mounted inside vanity.

Peace of Mind

Our Services

Duties and responsibilities as your leasing agent

Valuation

Determining the market price for your rental, the asking rent, the amount of security deposit, using metrics such as local market conditions, comparables, economic trends and city-specific rent control.

Cash Flow

The reputation of Metrotuned real estate services is built on seamless transitions; a tenant's career move or personal relationship can affect a lease. Move's happen, life happens. One missed month of rent can hurt a landlord's livlihood. Depend on our experience to immediately transition tenancy and maintain cash flow.

Rental Management

Listing real estate for rent or lease; marketing the property to locate prospective tenants; selling, buying or exchanging existing leasehold interests in real estate; managing income-producing properties; collecting rents from tenants. The confidence from experience as to when to say "no."

Tenant Finder

For owner's who are near and can manage their own properties, tenant finder service is the best value. We find responsible, qualified tenants and lock in accounting and lease agreements so the tenancy is sound and both tenant and landlord-owner are protected over the tenancy period and beyond.

Expedited Priority

Time is money. One of the first thing's we learned in rental management is how much turnaround matters. One missed month wipes out any substantial increase in rent. One month can alarmingly become one year. We've seen it, that's not how we roll - we're here for you.

Advertising & Photography

Photos of unit, drawing floorplans, we shape expectations and inform the tenant. When tenant's see our properties, they tell us our unit's are exactly as described, meeting all expectations - essential key to success right there.
