BOUTIQUE BY DESIGN

A Property Manager Who Knows Your Home — Not Just Your Address.

We don’t take on every client or every property — and that’s by design. Ukiyo is a small, experienced team focused on a narrow segment of the market: high-value single-family homes and premium residences that deserve real attention, not a call queue.

Founders Nicholas Bruce and Casey McManus remain personally connected to every home under management — between them, four decades of real estate, leasing and operations experience.

WHAT WE DO

White-Glove Management, End to End

Every service below is built around one goal: protecting the value of a premium asset while keeping ownership completely hands-off for you.

Concierge-Level Service

A dedicated local manager handles vendors, showings, inspections and resident requests — so you never manage the managers.

High-Value Tenant Vetting

Credit, income verification, rental history, employment and background screening on every applicant — no exceptions, no shortcuts.

Asset Preservation

Routine inspections, preventative maintenance and vetted vendor partners at preferred rates — small issues fixed before they become expensive ones.

White-Glove Communication

Fast, direct answers from a real person, plus an online owner portal with statements, documents and reporting available any time.

HOW IT WORKS

Getting Started Is Simple

From first call to a signed, qualified resident — here’s exactly what to expect.
01

Custom Rental Analysis

We assess your property against current Walnut Creek and East Bay comps and give you a realistic rent range.

02

Prepare & Market

Professional photography, make-ready coordination, and listings across every major rental platform.
03

Screen & Place

Guided showings, thorough applicant screening, and lease execution with a resident we’d want in our own home.
04

Manage & Protect

Rent collection, maintenance, inspections and transparent monthly reporting — fully hands-off for you.

For Our Realtor Partners

Give your clients the luxury of time to decide what's next.

Sometimes a homeowner knows they’re moving but isn’t ready to make a permanent decision about their home. Ukiyo gives those clients another option. They can rent the property, settle into their next chapter, and take the next year to determine whether they want to return, keep the home as an investment, or sell.
Their relationship with you stays protected.
We specialize exclusively in property management. We don’t compete with our Realtor partners for sales business, and we document and honor the originating agent.
STRONGER
CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS.
BRIGHTER NEXT CHAPTERS.
