WELCOME TO SOPM
We know the trust it takes to hand over your investment.
SOPM is a licensed, award-winning brokerage providing expert, compliant, and results-driven property management across the Okanagan.
Exclusive SOPM Owner Benefits
Security Deposit Guarantee
Your tenant’s security deposit is safeguarded through strict trust-account compliance and detailed documentation. SOPM completes comprehensive, photo-rich move-in and move-out inspections to clearly establish property condition and support lawful deductions when required. With strong experience in RTA legislation and dispute resolution, we provide the evidence and advocacy needed to protect your investment.
No Maintenance Markup Guarantee
We never add fees or markups to contractor or vendor invoices—ever. While many management companies charge an additional 10% on maintenance, SOPM passes through the exact vendor cost with full transparency. This ensures you receive honest pricing, unbiased recommendations, and meaningful savings on every repair and service.
Management Fee Guarantee
We believe management fees should be earned — not automatic. If your property is vacant or rent isn’t collected, you don’t pay a management fee. You’re never charged for an empty unit or for revenue you didn’t receive. This performance-based approach ensures our success is directly tied to yours, motivating us to protect your income, support resident retention, and maintain strong monthly cash flow.

Property Owner FAQs
Why choose SOPM?
SOPM has been managing properties successfully in the South Okanagan for over a decade. We have systems and processes in place that work. We are also local; therefore have community information and vendor relationships that help to maximize your rental investment.
How do you determine my property's rental amount?
As we manage hundreds of properties we are able to determine the best market rent your property can receive. We analyze your property’s attributes (beds, baths, square footage, amenities, parking etc) to obtain this figure.
How do you market my rental property?
This website sees hundreds of visitors each and every day. Potential tenants have bookmarked this site and check daily for updated rental listings.
Besides our great web presence we have a marketing team that use a variety of advertising platforms to advertise our client’s properties.
Other digital platforms include Kijiji, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and numerous Facebook groups.
How long will it take to fill my vacancy?
SOPM prides itself on usually zero vacancy on property turnovers. Often our properties will have a move-in inspection at the end of the month with a new tenant moving in the next day.
How much a deposit can we ask for at the start of tenancy?
As per the Residential Tenancy Act of British Columbia, a landlord can ask for one half month’s rent for security deposit and one half month’s rent for a pet deposit.
Do I have to allow pets in my rental property?
You do not have to allow pets. Guide and service dogs are not considered pets and are legally allowed to live in rental properties.
How do you screen tenants?
Tenants respond to our online advertisements through a rental unit inquiry form on our website. A phone interview may then be completed with the potential tenant. The applicant is then allowed to view the rental property. SOPM then sends the applicant a rental application. At that that time a credit check is performed and reference checks. Our company has a mandatory minimum of a credit score of 600.
What tenancy agreement does SOPM use?
We use a very detailed and comprehensive tenancy agreement by LandlordBC. We feel the standard government tenancy agreement does not adequately protect landlords’ interests.
Tenants are also made to sign a Lease Acknowledgement Form, BCFSA Disclosure for Residential Tenancies form and Emergency and Maintenance Instructions.
Are periodic inspections completed on the property?
Bi-annual inspections are mandatory with owners’ permission. SOPM walks through the property and completes an inspection report with your tenant. The inspection report asks the tenant a series of questions regarding preventative maintenance, tenant’s insurance, changes in occupants and pets. This report is then emailed to you, along with a photo of the front door.
How do you evict tenants?
We will serve a 10 Day Notice to End Tenancy, in the event their rent cannot be paid. After service of the notice, the tenant will have five days to pay rent or they must vacate the property within ten days.
What if an after-hours emergency occurs at my property?
Our staff are available for after-hours emergency calls. We will then dispatch the appropriate vendor (plumber, restorations company etc.).
What if damages are found at the move-out inspection?
We perform a thorough conditional move-out inspection. Because our move-in inspection is very thorough we have many photos to compare the conditional of the home to from move-in to move-out. SOPM finds regular periodic inspections help to mitigate a lot of damage at move-out inspection.
