Adam Pallin

Thank you, Evernest, for taking away the worries of renting out my home! When I moved away, I looked to this team to handle every detail, and, they did! From onboarding to renting to maintenance, I have never had to lift a finger.

Carly Abramson

I am a first-time owner renting my property and wanted to use a property management company. After a lot of research, I landed on Evernest due to price and their process. They are very responsive, handled everything for me, and guided me the entire way.

Available Add-Ons	Our Eviction Protection Plan (EPP) is available for your resident. It is designed to give you peace of mind knowing you won’t be caught covering the expense of an eviction. EPP covers the cost of an eviction (which can be up to $900) should an unforeseen issue arise that prevents your resident from paying rent in agreement with their lease (loss of job or health related issue). We will cover all attorney fees, court costs, and set out charges associated with evicting your resident. We will also change out your locks. The cost of EPP is $200 per year, billed annually.

Maintenance Guarantee

If there is a vendor or installation-related problem with our work within the first year, our property management team will make it right at no cost to you.

Resident Eviction Guarantee

Should a resident be fully evicted within the first 12 months of their lease term, our property management team will replace the resident and waive the leasing fee.

100% Happiness Guarantee

You can cancel the property management agreement at any time without penalty if you’re not satisfied with our property management team’s service.

Why Invest in Santa Cruz, CA

While it is not possible to definitively predict the future, studying overall trends and statistics can help an investor decide whether a market is worth investing in. We believe that:

The university and tech economies will likely remain strong.

Santa Cruz is home to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), which drives consistent demand for housing from students, faculty, and staff. Its proximity to Silicon Valley also makes it popular with tech professionals seeking a more relaxed coastal lifestyle. This combination supports both rental income and property value appreciation.

The desirable location and lifestyle is sure to draw new residents.

With its beaches, surfing culture, and outdoor recreation opportunities, Santa Cruz is a highly desirable place to live and visit. This makes it ideal for investors interested in long-term rentals or short-term vacation properties.

Supply will remain tight.

Santa Cruz has limited space for new development due to its coastal location and environmental protections. This keeps housing supply tight, driving up property values over time. For investors, this scarcity creates an opportunity for significant appreciation and strong returns.
