About Metcalf Property Management
Metcalf Property Management is a Southern California residential property management company built on hands-on experience, long-term relationships, and a deep respect for the value of real estate ownership.
We know that for many owners, a rental property is more than just an address on a spreadsheet. It may be a long-held investment, a former family home, a property inherited from loved ones, or an important part of your financial future. Our role is to help protect that investment with steady communication, experienced oversight, and practical solutions that make ownership less stressful.
Our roots in property management go back decades. Founder Mike Metcalf began learning the business at a young age, helping refurbish and manage apartment buildings alongside family. Those early experiences shaped the way we still approach property management today: with a practical understanding of maintenance, tenant relationships, leasing, compliance, and the everyday decisions that affect a property’s long-term success.
Since beginning his professional real estate career in 1987, Mike has built Metcalf Property Management around the same principles that matter most to owners: integrity, responsiveness, accountability, and care.
What We Do
We provide full-service residential property management for owners throughout Southern California, including tenant placement, lease administration, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, financial reporting, and ongoing owner support.
Our team works to place qualified tenants, keep properties well-maintained, respond quickly when issues arise, and help owners stay informed every step of the way. We also understand the importance of staying current with California’s changing rental laws, local requirements, HOA rules, and vendor standards, so our clients are not left trying to navigate those details alone.
Work With UsOur Approach
We manage every property with the same level of care and attention we would expect for our own.
That means we do not treat your home like just another unit in a portfolio. We take the time to understand the details that make each property different — its condition, location, rental history, maintenance needs, HOA requirements, and position in the local market — so we can make thoughtful decisions that support both day-to-day performance and long-term value.
Our approach is hands-on, relationship-focused, and grounded in real experience. Whether you are tired of self-managing, dealing with a difficult tenant situation, preparing to rent out your home for the first time, or looking for a more reliable management partner, our goal is to bring clarity, consistency, and peace of mind to the process.
Experience You Can Rely On
With over three decades of real estate and property management experience, Metcalf Property Management brings practical knowledge, local insight, and a calm, steady presence to the challenges of rental ownership.
We are here to help protect your property, support your tenants, and make the ownership experience feel more manageable — with a team that is responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to doing things the right way.
