Built for every type of rental property in Fairfax

All of the control, none of the chaos.

More time back. Less admin. We handle the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Four headaches every California operator knows. Here’s how Hemlane closes them.

01

Other softwares charge additional transaction fees.

Most platforms charge per ACH payment that add up to tens of thousands a year on a 50-door portfolio. Those fees are yours.

How Hemlane fixes it

100% of late fees back to you, $0 ACH fee.

Hemlane returns 100% of late fees and other tenant-paid fees to the property manager. ACH rent collection is $0 fee. The number on the lease is the number that lands in your account.

2 AM repair calls force you to hire a team you do not want.

Tenants don’t call about repairs during business hours. The 2 AM water heater call is real and so is the cost of dealing with it alone. Our repair coordination team picks up, troubleshoots, and dispatches so you don’t have to.

03

You are running five tools that do not talk to each other.

Five tools. Five logins. Five places where data goes missing. Most operators run their portfolio across platforms that don’t talk to each other. Hemlane replaces all of it with one login, one team in one platform.

How Hemlane fixes it

One product, one login, one team.

Leasing, screening, listings, rent collection, maintenance coordination, delinquency tracking, and eviction support all live inside one Hemlane account, with one login, one team, and one set of state-specific workflows.

I have owned and operated several rental properties for myself over the years, and have been in the real estate business for over 20 years buying, selling, fixing and flipping properties in Marin, Solano, Sonoma, Napa, Contra Costa, and Sacramento areas. I look forward to working with you to assist in finding and keeping great renters for your properties. Also, I have experience with managing properties as vacation rentals on both the Airbnb and VRBO sites. The services I offer for absentee owners is to coordinate getting tenants into properties and handling Move in/Move out processes, as well as annual inspections. In addition, I will facilitate having vendors come in to do needed repairs and/or renovations. If the situation should arrive that you decide to sell your investment property, I can list them on the market for my clients as well. I offer a comprehensive marketing plan with years of experience behind me in this area.

I’ve had a rewarding journey with rental properties as a real estate broker and business owner. My focus is on helping clients maximize their rental income by identifying high-potential properties in markets like San Francisco and North Bay counties. With each property, I dive deep into local trends, assessing factors like nearby amenities, transportation, and community vibe. Recently, I explored different rental strategies for properties in San Francisco, analyzing what features and neighborhood qualities attract tenants most and how those elements influence rental value. For me, real estate is more than just a business—it's about creating win-win situations for my clients and the communities where they invest. I take pride in the relationships I build, providing a personal touch that goes beyond just transactional interactions. By staying hands-on and immersed in the local markets, I ensure that my clients get tailored insights and strategies. This approach makes real estate both financially rewarding and deeply fulfilling, as I watch clients succeed and neighborhoods flourish.

Local Agents For Your State

California-specific questions, answered.

Common operator questions about running rentals on Hemlane. Each answer ties back to the state-specific workflow Hemlane runs.

You do not need a license to manage your own rental properties through Hemlane. If you manage rentals on behalf of others for compensation, your state may require a real estate broker’s license. Hemlane’s local agents are licensed professionals, so owners using the Agents service are always working with a licensed local expert.

Most states strongly recommend or require written lease agreements for all rental terms. Hemlane provides state-specific lease templates that include required disclosures and legally recognized terms which are ready to send with eSign in minutes.

Hemlane automates rent collection from end to end. Tenants pay online, and funds are deposited directly to the owner and not held in a third-party account. 100% of the rent goes directly to you. Automated reminders and late fee notices reduce manual follow-up so you get paid on time without chasing tenants.

Hemlane lets you configure automated late fees that align with your state’s legal limits. The platform sends automated reminders before rent is due and late notices after. Once the process is set-up, it runs without you having to make a single call.
