PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY
High-quality photos are essential for marketing your property online, so our professional photographers will make sure your property looks its best. Our photography package includes photos of nearby neighborhood locations to highlight the benefits of renting your property.
VIDEO WALK THROUGH, 3D VIRTUAL TOUR,AND VIRTUALLY STAGED PHOTOS
We create a video walk through and virtual tour of your property so potential tenants can get a feel for the space without ever having to step foot inside. We can even virtually stage it with furniture to give prospects a better sense of what the space could look like.
LISTING ON ALL THE MAJOR RENTAL ADVERTISING SITES
We make sure your property is seen by the widest audience possible by listing it on all of the major rental advertising sites, including Zillow, Apartments.com, Realtor.com Trulia, Apartment List, Hot pads, Lovely, and Craigslist.
IN-PERSON LEASING TOURS BY A DEDICATED; LICENSED; CERTIFIED; AND EXPERIENCED LEASING PROFESSIONAL
Once we start receiving inquiries about your property, our leasing team will take over and schedule in-person tours with potential tenants and answer any questions they may have.
DILIGENT FOLLOW-UP AND FOLLOW-THROUGH WITH ALL RENTAL INQUIRIES
We make sure every interested tenant is given the best possible chance to lease your property by following up with them after their tour and keeping them updated throughout the leasing process.
SCREENING OF ALL APPLICANTS
We take the guesswork out of finding quality tenants by thoroughly screening all applicants. We check their credit, rental history, employment status, and background to make sure they're a perfect fit and will take good care of your property.
COLLECTION OF ALL MOVE-IN FUNDS
We collect the security deposit, first month's rent, and any pet fees or other move-in costs so you don't have to worry about it.
MOVE-IN INSPECTION
We conduct a detailed move-in inspection and document the condition of your property before they move in. This protects you in case there are any damages when they move out.
ONLINE LEASE SIGNING
We make it easy for tenants to sign the lease agreement online so there's no need for additional in person meetings.
NO TENANT? NO WORRIES
You won't have to pay anything up front for our leasing services - payment comes out of the first month's rent. To find the best tenants for your property, we use a strict resident vetting process, including a background and credit check, income and employment verification, and reference checks. And because we're only paid when your property is occupied, you can be sure that we're working around the clock to ensure it stays that way.

Project Management
When you're ready to improve your property, we can manage the vendor bid process for you. We'll get at least three bids from qualified vendors for each improvement project and submit them to you for review and approval before any work begins. Once the work begins, we will update you on its progress weekly. Once the project is completed to our satisfaction, we'll send you the before and after photos so you can see it yourself without visiting the property and authorize you to pay the vendor in full without worry.
We are Ukiyo Property Management
Expertly managing and leasing Bay Area properties since 2015.
When we founded Ukiyo Property Management in 2015 to manage rental properties for our family and friends in the Bay Area, we quickly realized that there was a need for a different kind of property management company. One that was proactive, not reactive, that was communicative, not elusive, and that put the needs of its clients first, not its bottom line. In the years since, we've worked hard to build a company that embodies those values. Since we opened our business to the general public in 2022, we have been laser-focused on providing world-class customer service to both landlords and tenants. With over 40 years of combined experience in professional property management, we have a profound understanding of the industry and the skills necessary to manage your property as if it were our own. We leverage our network of industry contacts, real-world expertise, and the latest technology to provide the highest level of customer service to residents and property owners alike.

Our mission is to provide you with the best possible property management experience, whether you're an owner or a resident.
