Many cities claim to be the birthplace of Silicon Valley, but the city of Mountain View, located on the San Francisco Peninsula, actually has a sign declaring itself as the true birthplace of one of the greatest technological centers in the world. The sign, located on the site of the former Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, reads: “Site of first silicon device and research manufacturing company in Silicon Valley. The research conducted here led to the development of the Silicon Valley. 1956.” If that doesn’t illustrate how much of a role technology has played in the development of Mountain View, then this might; Mountain View is also home to the Computer History Museum and Googleplex, the corporate headquarters of Google, Inc.
Mountain View’s history is an interesting one. It originally started as nothing more than a stop for stage coaches traveling between San Jose and San Francisco during the late 1800s. The area was incorporated in 1902 as Mountain View and sustained itself primarily with an economy based on agriculture. Following the end of WWII, the city became a hub for the aerospace and technological industries and between 1950 and 1960 the city’s population grew by almost 400%. Since the 1950s and 60s, Mountain View has become home to such companies as Google, Inc, Mozilla Corporation, LinkedIn, Intuit, and Evernote.
Being a location with so many highly influential tech companies conducting business, the city of Mountain View is the kind of place where property owners rarely have trouble finding tenants that want to fill their property vacancies. However, finding the right tenant to fill a vacancy is often not as easy as finding people interested in renting a property. There are many nuances to being a property manager that many first time or would-be property managers overlook when they take the first few steps toward landlordship. Once the applicants start coming in, somebody has to be ready to interview them, verify their rental application information, give tours of the property, etc. And that’s just the easy stuff. In the unfortunate event that a renter defaults on a rental payment or refuses to leave a property following an eviction notice, a first time landlord can quickly find themselves in over their heads. Fortunately, there’s a simple and cost effective way for property owners to take the hassle out of property ownership. With the help of a professional Mountain View Property Management firm, homeowners can put the management of their property on autopilot and let a professional manager do all the hard work.
