About the founder of Landlord Solutions . . .

Jan Leasure has been a landlord for over twenty-five years. She has managed her own property and that of hundreds of other property owners. She is a licensed California Real Estate Broker and worked in real estate sales prior to dedicating herself solely to the property management business.

Jan is currently the managing Broker for Monterey Bay Property Management, located in Monterey, California, established in 1986. Monterey Bay Property Management is a company dedicated to providing the best in vacation rental and long-term residential leasing. 

The company mission statement is to make being a landlord rewarding, to make being a tenant a pleasure, and to have fun doing both!

Currently the Equal Opportunity Committee Chairperson for the Monterey County Association of Realtors®, Jan instructs new real estate licensees state wide in the areas of fair housing and anti-trust.

She has also served on the Local Governmental Relations committee and has worked closely with Monterey County to develop an ordinance to regulate short-term rentals.

She was the recipient of the 1996 Distinguished Service Award and the 2000 Special Recognition Award, and  served as a member of the Monterey County Association of Realtors® Board of Directors. 

Besides being active in the local Association of Realtors, she is a member of the Vacation Rental Managers Association, and is a founding member and the past President of the Monterey Bay Chapter of National Association of Residential Property Managers.

Jan regularly provides seminars and workshops on property management and other business topics and is informally available to the general public to answer property management questions.

Jan’s ability to interface with the general public and especially those involved in land lording led to the evolution of Landlord Solutions. 

Information gleaned from membership in  Hawaii Landlord Solutions provides landlords and property managers with the skills they need to obtain the greatest net income from a piece of real estate with the least amount of trouble.

The hard part of being a landlord is not acquiring property to rent, but in knowing what to do with the property once it is under your control!
