Martinez, California
East Bay Property Management
Local Experts, Not a Distant Call Center
Martinez is the seat of Contra Costa County, on the Carquinez Strait with a historic downtown, a marina and the county government complex. John Muir's home is here. Refinery and county employment underpin a rental market that is steadier than its size suggests.
The downtown and waterfront stock is older and full of character; the hillside subdivisions are newer and rent to a different tenant. Both do well when priced on their own merits rather than a city average.
California's AB 1482 caps most annual rent increases and requires just cause for many evictions, and some cities add stricter local ordinances on top. We check which rules apply to your specific property before any increase or notice goes out, because the exemptions are narrower than most owners assume.
Dan Kozakevich covers inland Contra Costa from our Saratoga office, so you deal with one named manager rather than a ticket queue. Owners get a real-time portal, online rent collection, a maintenance line answered every day of the year and itemized statements. Careful screening is why our eviction rate stays under 1% on placed tenants.
We would rather price your actual home than quote you an area average.
Published averages for Martinez blend apartments, townhouses and detached homes across neighbourhoods that rent nothing alike, so they are a poor guide to any single property. What your home earns depends on its Contra Costa County location, condition, layout, parking, school assignment and what else is on the market the week you list.
A free rental analysis gives you a defensible number for your address: recent comparable leases, a realistic days-on-market expectation and the two or three changes most likely to move the figure. No obligation.

What makes Martinez a place renters want to stay.
Martinez Unified School District serves the city. The John Muir National Historic Site preserves the naturalist's home and orchard, and the county seat's historic downtown carries the restaurants and the Main Street events. The Martinez Regional Shoreline, the marina and the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline give the town substantial waterfront, and an Amtrak station sits downtown.
Martinez has an Amtrak station on the Capitol Corridor and sits at the junction of I-680 and Highway 4. The Benicia-Martinez Bridge connects north to Solano County.
No obligation, no cost

Common questions from Martinez owners, answered plainly.
It depends on the home, not the area. Location within Contra Costa County, condition, parking, school assignment and what else is listed that week move the number more than any published average. A free rental analysis prices your specific address against recent comparable leases.
A well-priced, professionally marketed home usually leases in weeks rather than months. Pricing ahead of the market is the most common reason a good home sits, and it costs more in vacancy than the extra rent would ever have returned.
Credit, income, background and rental history on every applicant, with leases that comply with California and federal fair housing law. That discipline is why our eviction rate stays under 1% on placed tenants.
California's AB 1482 caps most annual rent increases and requires just cause for many evictions, and some cities add stricter local ordinances on top. We check which rules apply to your specific property before any increase or notice goes out, because the exemptions are narrower than most owners assume.
Associations set their own rules on leasing, minimum terms, parking and approvals, and they differ from one community to the next. We read the governing documents before listing and tell you upfront if anything in them will materially affect how quickly you can place a tenant.
