This lease began the old-fashioned way—by knocking on doors and sharing good news. While walking a neighborhood, I met the owner and let her know I had an exceptional tenant ready for the right home. She mentioned she was already working with another agent but wasn’t fully satisfied. I kept things simple and professional, letting her know that if she ever needed anything real-estate related, I was happy to help. No pressure, just availability.
Not long after, she called and asked for help finding a tenant for her rental property in Upland. The townhome was only about five years old at the time—essentially a new build—and located just around the corner from Old Town Upland. The area is known for its walkable charm, with local bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses, plus convenient access to the Metrolink for commuters.
The property required only minimal repairs, which the owner quickly addressed using my trusted handyman. Once those items were complete, my photographer captured the home, and we virtually staged the images to highlight the layout and lifestyle. From there, we launched a focused marketing plan that included MLS exposure, an email blast, door knocking the surrounding neighborhood, and posts in local online communities, including the Facebook group Upland Connects.
Interest came in quickly, and we screened several strong candidates. Ultimately, the property was leased to an exceptionally well-qualified tenant who treats the home with care and pride, maintaining it as if it were his own.
The owner is thrilled with the outcome. She now has a clean, quiet professional tenant who pays reliably every month without issue. With consistent rental income secured, she can enjoy peace of mind while building equity year after year as the property value grows and the mortgage is steadily paid down.
