Long Beach, CA Property Management
800 doors managed. 98% stay.
Long Beach owners hand over the whole job — leasing, screening, rent, 24/7 maintenance and lease enforcement — to a licensed local brokerage that has placed 30,000 tenants and kept evictions under one percent doing it.
Takes under 60 seconds. No obligation, and no fee for the estimate.
- 01
Protect
Evictions held under 1%
Thirty thousand tenancies placed in this city, every applicant put through the same checks. Fewer than one in a hundred ends in an eviction.
- 02
Perform
98% of residents renew
Rents priced against Long Beach units that actually leased, and renewal conversations opened early — before a good resident starts looking.
- 03
Systemize
800+ units on one system
Rent, lease tracking and owner statements run on a fixed monthly cycle in AppFolio. Your financials are there when you want them, not on request.
- 04
Delegate
Maintenance answered 24/7
Licensed vendors coordinated around the clock, so a burst pipe on Ocean Boulevard at 11pm is not a problem that waits until Monday.

An owner is really judging two things: whether the residents stay, and whether the money lands. Both of those leave a public trail, and this is CMC's.
CMC Realty is amazing. I worked directly with Charles and he was so informative, hands on and quick to respond to communication. I am so happy with this company.
I can't say enough about how kind and helpful my property manager, Daniela, was! When we had tub issues, she had a plumber there within hours. She listened, acted fast, and was a huge improvement over our last manager. I highly recommend CMC—especially with Daniela in charge!
CMC Realty is hands down the best property management I have had the pleasure of working with. Brian is always very attentive and responsive to any of his tenants needs and could not be any happier as a 2 year tenant with the company. Thank you Brian and I highly recommend him and this property management team!

What we handle
Six jobs, run the same way every month.
An 800-unit Long Beach portfolio does not hold a 98% renewal ratio on goodwill. It holds it because each of these runs on a schedule instead of on whoever remembers.
Marketing and leasing that fills the unit
Your Long Beach rental listed, marketed and shown by a team that has placed 30,000 tenants over the life of the company, with dynamic rent pricing set against what comparable local units are actually leasing for.
Learn moreTenant screening that keeps evictions under 1%
Every applicant is screened to the same standard before they are approved. Across 800+ managed units, fewer than one percent of tenancies end in an eviction — the single biggest lever on an owner's return.
Learn moreRent collection and owner reporting
Rent collected on a fixed monthly cycle, owner disbursements and statements delivered through the AppFolio owner portal, and financials available on demand rather than on request.
Learn moreMaintenance coordination, 24 hours a day
A 24/7 team coordinating licensed vendors for repairs and emergencies, so residents get an answer at night and owners get a property that is looked after rather than let go.
Learn moreLease enforcement and renewals
Terms enforced consistently and renewal conversations started early — the discipline behind a 98% renewal ratio, which beats chasing an extra few dollars of rent into a vacancy.
Learn moreBuying and selling, through a licensed brokerage
CMC is a REALTOR® brokerage as well as a manager — CRMLS, California Association of REALTORS® and Pacific West Association of REALTORS® — so buying another Long Beach rental or selling one stays with the same team.

- Combined experience
Single-family homes, condos and multi-unit buildings under management across Long Beach.
Residents who stay for another term. A renewal is the cheapest month an owner will ever have — no turn cost, no vacancy, no new placement fee.
Fewer than one in a hundred tenancies ends in an eviction. That figure is what disciplined screening is actually worth.
Years of Long Beach property management experience across the team, led by a licensed managing broker.
30,000 tenants placed over the lifetime of the company
Thirty thousand tenancies is a very large sample. It is why the screening standard is not a theory — it has been run against every kind of applicant this market produces, and the eviction rate has stayed under one percent.

Service area
Long Beach is not a territory. It is where the office is.
Close enough that someone can be standing at your property the same day — from the port to Belmont Shore, and up through Bixby Knolls.
- Long Beach
Founded in 2005 in Long Beach, CMC owns and manages apartments, homes and multi-family units throughout Long Beach and nearby areas. The map is drawn, not surveyed — the pins mark Long Beach's own neighbourhoods, from Naples and Belmont Shore in the south-east up through California Heights, with Signal Hill sitting inside the city line as its own separate town.
"Nearby areas" is CMC's own wording, and no individual city outside Long Beach is named anywhere the brokerage publishes — so none is invented here. Call 562-270-0405 with your address and you will get a straight answer.
Ask about your addressQuestions
What Long Beach owners ask before they hand over the keys.
Straight answers, in the same words we would use on the phone. If yours is not here, call the office — you will get someone who manages Long Beach property every day, not a call centre.
