Creative Property Management has served the Central Coast of California for more than twenty years. Founded in 2001 and based in Santa Maria, the company handles both residential and commercial property management across Santa Barbara County — leasing, tenant screening, maintenance coordination, financial reporting, and the day-to-day operations that owners don’t have time to chase.
Under the leadership of Carlos Macias, the firm has grown into a trusted local name with a reputation built on straightforward communication, consistent follow-through, and BBB Accreditation. Every property is managed like it’s the only one on the books.
Single-family homes, condos, and multi-unit residences managed end-to-end. Owners stay informed; tenants get real responsiveness.
Retail, office, and mixed-use properties handled with the same rigor as residential — lease administration, CAM reconciliations, and tenant relations.
Thorough background, credit, and employment verification on every applicant. Leases drafted to protect owners and stand up to California law.
Vetted local vendors and in-house oversight for every work order. Small issues get fixed before they become expensive problems.
On-time rent collection, clear monthly owner statements, and year-end reporting ready for your accountant. No guesswork.
Professional listings, photography, and syndication to the major rental platforms. Vacancies filled quickly with the right tenants.
