River Drive Properties is here to provide a higher standard of Merced property management. We think outstanding customer service should be something that every owner and investor expects, and we won’t settle for simply meeting your expectations. We want to exceed them.
We believe in communication and accessibility. You’ll be able to reach us in the office seven days a week, and we’re available to your residents, too. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day because property management isn’t a 9-5 job. We’re responsible for your investment property, and we’re committed to unprecedented responsiveness and service.
Merced Property Management Experience Leads to Better Investment Outcomes
River Drive Properties is California’s leading full service property management company. We have more than 24 years of experience managing residential and commercial properties. Because of this experience, we understand that your income property is much more than a simple investment. It requires constant attention, and that’s what we provide.
Strategic Marketing & Advertising
Keeping vacancy rates low is an important part of maximizing the income you earn on your Merced investment property. We understand this, and our knowledge of local markets and tenants preferences ensures your property is marketed to grab the attention of the area’s best residents.
Online advertising is our most powerful function. We list your property on our own website and on popular websites where we know tenants are searching. You can expect an advertisement with high quality photos, detailed descriptions, and an invitation to schedule an appointment to see the home.
Proper pricing, excellent staging, and proactive follow-up enables us to rent your home quickly, avoiding the headaches and expenses that often come with vacancy. You don’t have to worry about posting a “For Rent” sign or responding to tenant inquiries; we take care of the entire marketing process professionally and effectively.
Placing Highly Qualified Tenants
You may have heard horror stories about bad tenants, or perhaps even experienced the fallout from a terrible resident yourself. It can be pretty dramatic; unpaid rent and property damage, or lease violations and a refusal to communicate. With the new eviction laws throughout the state, you want to make sure you never have a reason to evict your Merced tenants.
We have plans for that. It starts with good screening, which is compliant with all local, state, and federal fair housing laws. We make sure you’re getting a resident with a history of paying rent on time, taking care of the property they live in, and following all the terms that are clearly spelled out in the lease agreement. We don’t tolerate evictions or violent criminal histories, and we work hard to place and retain great tenants because we know it matters to your rental income and your long term investment plans.
When it comes to screening tenants, you cannot trust your instincts. Instead, you have to trust the data, the background reports, and the financial history you have in front of you. Our screening process saves a lot of time and a lot of money for our owners because it results in highly qualified, easy-to-work with renters.
We manage Merced rentals in Loughborough, near Merced College, and near UC Merced, as well as in neighboring communities.
Maintaining Your Investment
Routine maintenance is responsive. Emergency maintenance is urgent. We respond to any rental property repairs that are needed at your Merced property with efficiency and professionalism. We know that if there’s a flood in your kitchen or a tree that’s crashed through a window, your tenants are going to feel pretty emotional and panicked. We’re here to keep everyone calm, to mitigate the damage, and to coordinate with our highly qualified vendors to take care of the problem right away.
Our system of managing routine requests is well-documented and designed to diagnose problems, make decisions on the best way to conduct repairs, and maintain open lines of communication with you, your residents, and the maintenance team that’s helping us out. We are careful with costs because even though the maintenance of your property is important in protecting its condition, we don’t want to surprise you with outrageous repair expenses.
The vendors we work with are licensed, insured, and reliable. We screen them as carefully as we screen your tenants, and we count on them for:
-
Preventative inspections and services
-
Competitive pricing and discounts
-
Attention to safety and reduced risk
-
Quality routine repairs and prompt emergency responses

Free Rental Analysis
Ask us for a free rental analysis. It’s an important part of marketing your property and getting the attention you need from highly qualified tenants in Merced. We know the market and we understand what competing properties are offering and costing.
Many investors and landlords think they know what their property is worth, but the real rental value is a complex number that depends on things like property location, condition, market strength, and even the season. We know how to attach a price that will optimize what you earn while ensuring you don’t chase away great tenants with a price that’s too high for the Merced rental market.
I switched to River Drive Management a year ago. I own many rental homes in Merced. Every other company I tried, offered poor customer service and non-transparent fees.
I met with Joseph and knew immediately, this was the company for me. They treat the tenants with respect and care and they always respond to questions promptly. The management fee is fair and they do not have any hidden fees. The return on my investment has increased over 40% under their keen management skills. I could not ask for more from a management company.
