Our Company
Rental Zebra was established in 2010, and is owned and operated by a dynamic family team. At Rental Zebra we treat every property like our own and every tenant with respect. We have been tenants, and we have been landlords, and we relate to the perspectives of both. Our team understands the challenges tenants and landlords face throughout the rental process. It is our goal as your property management company to help you overcome those challenges, and achieve the rental outcome you want most!
We work together as a team to meet the needs of our clients. Many members of our team are fluent in Spanish, while others speak Tagalog and Hmong, which allows us to effectively communicate with a wider pool of tenants, vendors and owners. Our combined education, experience and real estate knowledge ensure we are prepared to tackle any challenge. Four members of our team are licensed brokers and several more are licensed agents with the California Association of Realtors and the Texas Real Estate Commission. We’re also members of the California Apartment Association and of the National Association of Residential Property Managers. These associations offer legal resources, education and ongoing training so that Rental Zebra will always be the best property management partner in the business.
