Explore Our Comprehensive Range of Property Management Services

We've spent four decades refining what good property management actually looks like in South Lake Tahoe — and it goes well beyond collecting rent and fixing leaky faucets. Here's everything we take off your plate, and why it matters.
Property Marketing & Advertising

A vacant property costs you money every day it sits empty — and finding the right long-term tenant in South Lake Tahoe starts with knowing this market better than anyone else.

After 40 years, we do.

We price your property based on real-time local knowledge, not national algorithms, and we know exactly where serious long-term renters in this community are looking. We craft listings that present your property honestly and compellingly, with professional photography that shows it at its best. We advertise across the platforms where people who actually want to put down roots here are searching — and we move quickly and strategically to minimize the time your property sits vacant. The result is less time empty, better quality applicants, and an owner who isn't watching their investment sit idle wondering what's taking so long.

Rent Collection

Chasing rent is nobody's idea of owning a rental property. We handle the entire collection process from start to finish — online payment options that make it easy for tenants to pay on time, consistent and professional follow-up when needed, and enforcement of late fees when appropriate.

You'll always know exactly where things stand through your personalized owner portal, where you can log in at any time and see in real time when rent has been received, review transactions on your account, and access your monthly statements — complete transparency, any time of day, from anywhere. After 40 years of managing properties in South Lake Tahoe we've seen every situation, and we handle each one with the same calm professionalism that keeps both owners and tenants confident in the process.

Tenant Screening & Selection

Placing the right tenant is the single most important decision in property management — and getting it right from the start protects your investment, your property, and your peace of mind for years to come. Every applicant goes through the same thorough, consistent screening process: credit history, background checks, employment and income verification, and rental references — all conducted in full compliance with California fair housing laws and the latest rental regulations. Every application is evaluated equally and with the same rigorous standard, so you can feel confident the process is both thorough and legally sound.

After 40 years of placing tenants in South Lake Tahoe homes we've developed the experience and judgment to do this well — protecting your investment while treating every applicant with the respect and fairness they deserve.

Property Maintenance & Inspections

Maintaining a property well in South Lake Tahoe takes local relationships, proactive attention, and the kind of institutional knowledge that only comes with decades in the same community.

Tenants can report maintenance needs any time through our 24/7 maintenance reporting system, so nothing falls through the cracks and small issues get addressed before they become expensive ones.

We conduct detailed move-in, move-out, and routine inspections using a modern inspection platform that documents your property's condition thoroughly — including photos — in full compliance with California law. We also offer tenant-led inspections, giving residents a structured way to flag deferred maintenance early, which means smaller repair bills and better long-term upkeep for your property. Every repair, routine or emergency, is handled through our network of trusted local vendors built over 40 years — fair rates, fast response, and work done right. You'll never have to track down a contractor, negotiate a price, or wonder whether your property is being looked after.

Lease Administration & Renewals

Leases, renewals, negotiations, and the ever-changing landscape of California rental law — we handle all of it, so you never have to wonder whether your agreements are protecting you the way they should.

We take a proactive approach to renewals, reaching out early, pricing competitively based on current South Lake Tahoe market conditions, and working hard to keep good tenants in place.

After 40 years in this market we've learned that a stable, long-term tenancy is one of the most valuable things a rental property can have — and we manage every lease with that long view in mind.

Feedback from other Property Owners

We've built Lake Valley Properties one relationship at a time over four decades — and the greatest measure of our work isn't what we say about ourselves, it's what our owners say after years of trusting us with what matters most to them. Here's what some of them have to say.
Attentive Service! We have been extremely happy with Lake Valley and the owners. They helped us navigate evacuations and other difficult situations with skill. We used another service before this. We wish we switched from our other property manager in South Lake Tahoe YEARS AGO!

Julie and her staff are above and beyond remarkable. They have managed my property for several years and I couldn’t be happier. Having been a property manager myself for 34 years I expect excellence and they have always exceeded my expectations.
Bobbi Cole

My husband and I hired Lake Valley Properties 9+ years ago to manage our rental property in SLT and couldn’t be happier. We loved that it was a family owned business vs a large corporate entity . Julie has been outstanding with the property management side of the business. Not only is she personable and professional, but extremely knowledgeable of the Lake Tahoe area since she was born and raised in SLT. We have appreciated her timely follow up and responsiveness to our needs. Her connections to resources, such as, contractors, painters, bear box installers , etc. are a tremendous asset. When we recently decided to sell our rental property, we turned to Julie’s brother, Matt, who handles the Real Estate side of the business and were so impressed. Matt’s customer service and guidance was excellent. His communication and follow up was thorough and timely.

Lake Valley Properties has been our property management company for more than 40 years. All occupants are screened so that there has never been a major problem. Owners and staff are very professional and easy to work with. As owners we are well informed and the relationship is solid. We have enjoyed our long term association with Lake Valley Properties.
Norman Glenn
Property owner
My husband and I have been with LVP for about 28 years. We are very happy. The tenant process is professional and we have a lot of say after they describe a potential tenant. We work very well with Julie on this matter as we are looking for clean, long term tenants. Julie doesn't just put people in units to fill units, she understands it is better for all of us to have a good fit.
