I stay involved.
Your property is not handed off to an account manager.
MEET MELANIE REYNARD
I started Keybox because owners deserved a property manager who actually stayed involved.
I manage and lease homes, condos and small residential buildings in Santa Monica, West Los Angeles and nearby neighborhoods.
I work the listing, review the details, think through repairs and keep you updated along the way—so you can make good decisions without managing everything yourself.

WHY I STARTED KEYBOX
A more attentive kind of property management.
Before starting Keybox, I managed large apartment communities in West Hollywood and Santa Monica.
That experience taught me how much organization, follow-up and judgment property management actually requires—and how easily individual owners can feel overlooked by a large company.
I founded Keybox in 2016 to provide thoughtful property management and leasing for homes, condos, small residential buildings and select HOA communities.
