LOCAL MARKET EXPERTISE
Serving owners across OC
Why we built Bear
Most OC owners are treated like an account number. We built Bear to fix that.
After 17 years helping clients buy, sell, lease, and invest in Orange County real estate, I saw the same frustrations repeated time and again: owners bounced between three people on a single maintenance call, fees that quietly multiplied on monthly statements, managers who oversold themselves and undertold the truth. Bear is the firm I wish those owners had hired.

How we keep those promises
One service, three jobs we never miss.
Full-service management of long-term unfurnished rentals — single-family homes, condos, and small multi-units. We don’t do Airbnb or short-term. We focus exclusively on the long-tenancy work that protects your asset and your income.
Marketing & Leasing
From pricing analysis through tenant move-in, we handle every step of the leasing process — professional photography, active marketing, showings, screening, lease preparation, and move-in coordination until the right tenant signs.
Under 1% eviction rate — half the OC industry standard.
SEE FULL LEASING SCOPE →
Operations & Maintenance
24-hour tenant response, vendor-vetted repairs, bi-annual property inspections. You set the spending authority limit; we honor it.
No markup, ever — maintenance invoices pass through at cost.
SEE FULL OPERATIONS SCOPE →
Reporting & Owner Care
Monthly statements, year-end tax packets, CA FTB withholding handled — plus a real human who knows your property.
Direct line to Adam for every portfolio-level decision.

What we placed this quarter.
A live look at recent Bear placements across our coverage area. Cities, property types, days on market, and how each closed against the asking rent. No other OC property manager publishes this.
Built for OC's coastal markets
From Newport Coast to San Clemente, our team specializes in the rhythms of premium Orange County rental markets — the school-district timing, the HOA quirks, the rent ranges that change block by block.
Founder · Owner · Your direct contact
"Most owners I meet have been through two or three managers before me. None of them want to think about it again."
That’s the job — be the last property manager an OC owner ever has to think about. Seventeen years in real estate taught me one thing: owners stop trusting the relationship after the second person they get bounced to. Bear was built around that single insight.
When you hire Bear, you hire me. I review every rental analysis. I approve every vendor. I sign every guarantee. One phone line, one inbox, one person accountable.

Adam re-rented our Corona Del Mar property in eleven days at $400 above what the previous manager said was achievable. He paid for himself in six weeks.I refer Bear to my real-estate clients now. They’re the only OC manager I’ve worked with who picks up the phone the same day, every time, without fail.We switched from a larger management company and immediately noticed the difference. We finally felt like our property mattered.See the numbers for your property

Costa Mesa Rental Rates 2026: What Your Home Should Command
