Built for every type of rental property in Oakland

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.

My Client-First Philosophy There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a Bay Area real estate professional, I´ve also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I´ve found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I´ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They´ve also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you´d like to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area areas, please contact me.

Leah Johnson

Oakland

10+ years experience

If anyone can make the claim that they know a city like the back of their hand, it’s 4th generation San Franciscan and Realtor Leah Johnson. Simply put, her passion for where she grew up is infectious. Described by clients as tenacious, compassionate, and engaging, Leah is truly a polished and seasoned colleague. And while her insider’s knowledge of San Francisco gives her a decided advantage in the city, in more recent years (and at the urging of her loyal clients) Leah has expanded her business into Marin, bringing her fresh perspective across the bridge and achieving stellar results. Leah's success is rooted in pairing white glove service with highly curated strategies. And when it comes to the negotiation table, Leah is sharp; her unclouded and disciplined temperament consistently leads to a win. She also attributes her ever-growing and respected relationships forged throughout a 15+ year career as an integral part of her real estate achievements. After growing up in San Francisco, Leah moved to New York City to pursue a career in theatre, before graduating from SDSU and returning home to San Francisco where she identified her true career path: real estate. Passionate about being of service, Leah regularly volunteers her personal time at St. Anthony’s, fosters senior pets from Muttville, and every year contributes a portion of her earnings to both of these truly special organizations.

Oakland

10+ years experience

Adriana and Roberto Castillo are experienced investor advisors with a wealth of knowledge and experience in rental management. Both have their Juris Doctor degrees but more importantly have been heavily involved in rental investment management over the past 14 years. Adriana and Roberto started acquiring single family rentals in 2011 for a large private equity firm and played key roles in amassing a portfolio of 4K homes (~1B AUM) across 8 different markets in 7 difference states (CA, TX, AZ, IL, TN, FL, GA). We initially utilized local property managers in each market but as we gained scale to 3,500 homes in 2015, we built and ran a centralized investment management company, Streetlane Homes. In 2019, Streetlane Homes was acquired by Roofstock. Within Streetlane, we systemized and operationalized every aspect of the investment management cycle from acquisitions, renovations, property management, asset management, and dispositions. For property management specifically, we led teams of individuals who focused on top line revenue (resident relations / customer success, leasing, renewals, and ancillary income) and expense management (repair and maintenance, turn costs, and capital expense) decision makers. We are now offering our services and experience to select investors in the greater Bay Area to help maximize NOI (Net Operating Income) and alleviate the pain points of self management or inefficient management. We believe in building a symbiotic relationship between our residents and our investor clients. At the end of the day, while it is "our house, it becomes your home".

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.
