We purchased two houses as investment through Billy and Mae who now manage those houses as rental properties. Since then, we’ve always received caring and professional services from them. Trust Billy and Mae as they are your go-to persons for all real-estate needs and they always go extra miles for their customers.

We have known Billy Chiang for many years and have been using him to exclusively manage our Bay area rentals. Billy does a good job screening and finding suitable tenants for our properties. He also goes the extra mile to find reasonable priced and efficient handyman whenever needed which is sometimes very difficult in a busy market. We have no hesitation in recommending MJC Property Management who does an amazing job.

Mae and Billy are consistently responsive to my needs, no matter how big or small the request, and take full ownership to follow through from beginning to the end until each issue is resolved to my satisfaction. Their open, direct, and honest approach makes it easy for me to work with them, and most importantly, I know that I can leave my property under their good care without any worries. As long-time residents of the Silicon Valley, Mae and Billy have a deep understanding of the ever-changing local real estate market to represent their clients' best interests at all times. I would highly recommend MJC Property Management for professional property management services!

Billy was a tremendous help in finding us a home that was within our budget and we had been looking for. He was very professional in his approach and all the way through to the end. He made it so easy for us and kept us up to date on everything. The whole buy process was completed clean and smooth, he did such a great job! We even decided to ask him to manage the property later. He arranged for and handled everything. Billy is a pleasure and wonderful to work with!

Why do I need to use a professional property manager to handle my property?
Peace of mind: Having a Property Manager handling the details of managing your rental home allows you to have peace of mind and focus your time and talents on other matters instead of worrying about your rental property.
How do you find qualified tenants?
- We are dedicated to finding and securing most qualified tenants for your property. We can quickly and professionally advertise your properties on our Web site, Craigslist, Trulia, Zillow, Apartments.com and many other Web sites. We screen applicants carefully to make sure only most qualified tenants move into your property. Our effective marketing and leasing strategies result in much shorter vacancy time.
How do tenants pay rent?
We have an advance property management system which allows prospective tenants to apply and pay application fee online which can expedite our screening process. Our tenants can also pay rent online or use the electronic cash payment feature to pay rent at 7-11 which can drastically reduce the rental payment turn-around-time.
Who pays for advertising?
We do. The online advertising is part of our property management service provided to you free of charge! Our online advertising is very effective and attracts lots of leads and inquiries from prospective tenants.
How do you screen prospective tenants?
Our screening process includes running credit reports, eviction check and criminal history background search. We further interview potential tenants by phone or in person and check references. We also verify their employment & income, financial and rental history.
How do I receive the owner statement and monthly rent?
- We use electronic payments (ACH) to deposit monthly rent directly into your bank account. Owner statements are available online on the owner portal and you can have 24/7 access. The statements are easy to read and provide you with a quick snapshot of your property details for any month.
When do I get paid?
You will receive the rent after the 10th every month. Rents are due on the 1st of each month with a four-day grace period. We need to make sure all rent checks are cleared and all bills are paid before we disburse the rent to you.
What if the tenant stops paying?
If the tenant’s rent is not received when the grace period expires, our staff will start calling the tenant who is late. If the rent payment is still not received afterwards, we’ll send out a notice to the tenant and notify our owner of the action taken and discuss further actions.
Who holds the security deposit?
We hold the security deposit in a trust bank account. One of the reasons that tenants come to a property management company is that they know their security deposit is being safely held by a third party. This practice can minimize the dispute between homeowners and tenants and provide peace of mind to a homeowner like you.
How do you maintain my property?
On a regular basis, we conduct visual inspections and perform preventive maintenance of your property as needed besides checking with tenants on any potential property-related issues. For instance, we’ll have the gutter cleared before the rainy season and the fire extinguisher serviced annually to maintain and protect your property.
For all maintenance needs, we create electronic work orders and address property repair and maintenance issues immediately.

How it Works:
In order to keep your financials secure, we use a state of the art portal system which communicates with your email.
Each time you wish to view your reports, you must visit the portal and enter in your email address. You will be emailed a single-use link where you can view your statements. This link does not have a time limit, however, it will only work once.
