Owning rental property in the Bay Area can be lucrative, but it is rarely passive. Pricing changes fast, guest and tenant communication never stops, maintenance issues show up at the worst time, and compliance varies market by market. Hearth is a Bay Area property management company built for owners who want the upside of real estate without the daily operational chaos.

We manage furnished short-term rentals, furnished mid-term rentals, and unfurnished long-term rentals across the Bay Area. That means we do not force your property into one fixed strategy if the market changes. We help owners choose the right operating model for each property, then run it end-to-end.

What Hearth handles

• Listing creation and optimization

• Dynamic pricing and calendar management

• Guest and tenant messaging

• Showings, screening, and leasing support

• Turnovers, cleanings, and vendor coordination

• Maintenance triage and owner approvals

• Compliance support and operational oversight

• Monthly owner statements and payouts

Who this is for

Hearth is built for Bay Area owners who want a professional property manager without becoming a full-time operator themselves. We are a fit for:

• Busy professionals with one or more rentals

• Owners moving out of self-management

• Investors with mixed furnished and unfurnished inventory

• Owners switching from a slow or poorly reviewed manager

• Landlords who want better response times and cleaner reporting

STR, MTR, and LTR under one roof

Most property managers pick one lane and force every property into it. We do not. If your property performs best as a furnished short-term rental, we manage it that way. If regulations or seasonality make mid-term rentals stronger, we can pivot. If a long-term lease is the best path, we handle that too.

That flexibility matters in the Bay Area, where neighborhoods, regulations, and demand patterns vary widely.

Why owners choose Hearth

Owners come to Hearth because they want less work, faster response times, and a cleaner experience. We are built around hands-off ownership. In practice, that means the owner usually only steps in for major decisions or maintenance approvals.
