Most firms here will collect your rent and fix your water heater. Almost none of them can tell you whether renting it at all is the right decision this year. Cypress & Pine is run by a working Sotheby's broker, so the advice comes with the management.

You have a house worth well over a million dollars. The question that actually moves money is not who deposits the check. It is what this property should be doing for you right now.
Should it be on a twelve month lease, or is a furnished thirty day tenancy worth more in your specific pocket of the Peninsula? Is the short term rental you counted on still legal after the county ordinance? Does adding a bathroom pencil, and can you even get the water credit to do it? If you sold in this market instead, what would it actually bring, and how does that compare to five more years of holding?
A property manager cannot answer those questions. A broker cannot manage the house. Here you get both from one person, and the answers come with the comparable sales to back them up.
Young, energetic, and on the rise, Mike has his sights set on becoming the top real estate agent in the Monterey Peninsula.
