Send Us Your PMA.
We Read It Out Loud.

Switching property managers in OC is simpler than most owners expect, but only because the legal clock does most of the work. The 30 days are fixed; NGC's coordination inside that window runs about 10 business days. The call starts with reading your current management agreement, line by line.

What NGC handles inside the 30 days

  • Reads your current PMA before you sign anything — free, no commitment
  • Drafts the termination notice on your letterhead and sends USPS certified with return receipt
  • Records audit: lease copies, security-deposit ledger, maintenance history, vendor list — anomalies flagged in writing
  • Tenant notification letters, bilingual where the unit warrants it
  • Property walk-through with the tenant on proper notice — photo baseline, condition report
  • Security deposit reconciliation under California Civil Code §1950.5
  • HOA notification where applicable (Lake Mission Viejo, Irvine master associations, CdM condo boards)
  • ACH cutover, owner portal setup, dedicated property manager assigned

Who this is — and isn’t — for

  • OC owners whose current manager has crept past 8% with no improvement in service
  • Condo owners inside HOA-controlled communities who need architectural-review coordination handled
  • Small-multifamily owners (2–6 units) being run by an SFR-trained shop
  • Owners whose current PM has stopped returning calls or is out of compliance with AB 1482, AB 12, SB 567, or local RSO ordinances
  • Out-of-area investors who need a local manager who actually walks the unit
  • Properties outside Orange County. We’re OC-focused on purpose; coverage stretching is how service quality drops.
  • Commercial properties. Residential only.
  • Short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO). Long-term residential tenancies only.

The actual sequence

1

Send us your PMA

We read it before the call. Notice period, termination clause, early-termination fee, markup language. We come to the call already knowing what your contract says.

2

30-minute call

We run the math on your specific unit, walk through what a switch looks like, and either recommend it or recommend you stay.

3

If you sign — same-day termination letter

Drafted on your letterhead, USPS certified with return receipt. The receipt date controls the 30-day clock.

4

Days 1–10: records audit

Leases, deposit ledger, maintenance and vendor history pulled from the prior firm. Anomalies surfaced in writing before they become NGC’s problem.

5

Days 10–20: tenant letters & walk-through

One letter per unit, bilingual where warranted. Walk-through scheduled with the tenant on proper notice. Condition report captured.

6

Day 30: NGC takes over

Prior PMA terminates. Rent collection moves. Security deposits transfer under §1950.5. First owner statement lands 5–10 business days after month-end.

💬

One specific question, no call needed?

Email works. One sentence, one question, one reply. Usually within a business day. Fee structure, contract clause, RSO history, deposit dispute — we’ll either answer it directly or tell you the question needs a 30-minute call to do justice.
