Domain records put 12 websites of the companies on this page at ten or more years old; the oldest dates from 1996. 3 offer emergency call-outs; 1 gives free estimates and 4 are family- or locally-owned. We have a website on file for 23 of the companies on this page; 19 publish a contact page and 20 list a public email. We count these figures across the companies on this page; distances are straight-line, and hours and prices change, so confirm the details with the company before you book.

How many listed property managers say they are licensed?

5 of the 24 listings for Santa Barbara show a license on their websites. Ask for the number and take it to the state regulator and confirm it is current and actually covers property management. Ask separately about the trust account and the fidelity bond, because a license on its own tells you nothing about how your rent is held.
