Welcome to
Welcome Home Management Inc.
At Welcome Home Management Inc., we are a full-service Bay Area property management and real estate services company built on over 65 years of combined industry experience, a deeply rooted legacy, and an unwavering commitment to the people we serve. Our story began long before our incorporation in 2021.
Our founder, Kate, grew up immersed in the world of property management, learning the business from the ground up alongside her parents, who owned and operated an apartment complex.
She stepped into her first management role in 2002, and from that point forward, she dedicated her career to delivering the kind of expert, attentive property management that protects owner investments and fosters strong, lasting tenant relationships. In 2022, we proudly acquired and rebranded ShellCrossLee Real Estate, a trusted Bay Area real estate institution founded in 1974 and based in Hayward, CA, carrying forward a powerful legacy of client care and community trust.
Today, we bring that same depth of knowledge, diligence, and personal attention to every property owner and tenant we serve across the Bay Area. We leverage modern technology and AI-driven tools to maximize operational efficiency, but we never lose sight of what matters most: knowing our clients by name, communicating proactively, and delivering the kind of hands-on, human-first service that no algorithm can replace.
Our mission is straightforward. We protect your investment, support positive tenant experiences, and provide the peace of mind that comes from having a knowledgeable, accountable, and genuinely dedicated property management partner by your side.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Am I required to make my property available to Section 8?
Generally, yes. California law prohibits most landlords from rejecting an applicant simply because they use a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher or other qualifying rental assistance. You cannot advertise “No Section 8” or refuse to complete required program paperwork or allow inspections. Accepting vouchers does not mean you must approve every applicant. You may still apply lawful, nondiscriminatory screening criteria. However, income requirements must be based on the portion of rent the tenant pays, rather than the full rent. If you check credit history, you must give applicants with rental subsidies a reasonable opportunity to provide alternative, lawful, verifiable evidence that they can pay their share, and consider that evidence instead of their credit history when provided. -
Are you licensed?
Yes. Our company DRE license # is 02166494. Welcome Home Management Inc. is a fully licensed property management company operating in compliance with California real estate law and all applicable industry regulations. Our team brings over 65 years of combined experience to every client relationship, so you can trust that your investment is in knowledgeable, accountable hands. -

Yes. We provide an emergency contact line for urgent property matters that cannot wait. For general questions and non-urgent requests, our team is available during normal business hours and will respond promptly. You will always know who to call and what to expect from us.
