About Us

We would like to introduce ourselves to you. We have been managing single family homes, condominiums, apartments, and commercial properties in Southern California since 1978.

If you have ever considered enlisting the services of a property management firm, we would like an opportunity to talk to you. If you have difficulty leasing your property, collecting rent, or have any other concerns with your property, we can help.

Our clients have found that by leasing their properties faster, collecting rent more aggressively, and saving money on maintenance, they have increased their net income after employing Ponderosa Property Management.
