Kirk Realty employs managers with professionalism and integrity unrivaled in the community. We are members of the Apartment Association, California Southern Cities, and all office staff have completed the coursework for the California Housing Professional certification. We are constantly improving ourselves and continuously enroll in education and seminars pertaining to the property management industry above and beyond what is required by the California Bureau of Real Estate, ensuring we stay at the cutting edge of the industry.
As lifelong Long Beach residents, we have seen our city grow and flourish over the years. We believe in timely response of maintenance issues, which helps build a friendly but professional rapport with our tenants and works to maximize their satisfaction with your rental property. We keep informed and engaged with all city, state, and federal Fair Housing laws, ensuring the leasing and ongoing care of your properties follow proper procedure. We have built positive relationships with vendors, city inspectors, and local businesses citywide, and these relationships help ensure your properties exceed local building code and habitability requirements.

Each month you will receive a packet with an Owner Statement, detailing all rents received and expenses incurred, along with copies of all invoices, statements, and correspondence that pertain to the management of the property. We can also provide additional reporting depending on your accounting needs, from cash flow statements to expense registers, at no additional cost to you. We keep copies and originals of all receipts, so if you can’t find a particular item during tax season, we have you covered.
