In June 2022 I ended my lease with Premier apartments. The landlord at the time stated that he was able to find someone to apply and that I "would not be charged future rent payments". About a year ago I received communication from Fair Collection and Outsourcing demanding payment for my delinquent payments. Upon receiving this I immediately called the new landlord Julio. Unknown to me the company has since been bought out and does not employ the same landlord. Still the current landlord, Julio, provided me his email and instructed me to send over the documentation, which I did in August 2025. I thought this was resolved. I have received a work promotion and am relocating. While reviewing my application the new complex declined my application due to outstanding funds not paid made from FCO. They placed a negative mark on my outstanding credit in June 2026. Beachfront properties failed to follow up with the documents I provided in 2025, allowed this to happen, and currently avoids all means of communication with me. Ana has said she would contact me and has not. Julio completely ignores calls and emails. Jose and Reina also refuse communication. I am suing the company but do yourself a favor and do not do business with these people

Our manager, Linda Rios, is a great apartment manager. She’s always very attentive and resolves issues quickly, always willing to listen and help if necessary to any problem or concern we have. Our family has been living in this apartment complex for almost 2 years and its a comfortable living space for a starter family. Our place had already been converted/remodeled and it makes the apartment feel super homey. A.C. conditioning is a big plus here and any concerns we have are quickly resolved and taken care of by our manager and handyman. I enjoy the landscape/garden here as much as my daughter, seeing butterflies and nature surrounding our patio. 🐝🌸🦋🌼

Absolutely — here’s a natural, personal-sounding review you can post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve had a really positive experience with Beach Front Property Management and my time at Rancho La Mirada. The property has been a comfortable and welcoming place to live, and I really appreciate the effort the management team puts into taking care of the residents. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been professional, helpful, and respectful. I especially appreciate the communication and support whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. Overall, I’m happy with my experience here and would definitely recommend Beach Front Property Management to anyone looking for a place to call home.

Asia Thomas has been a great landlord at La Playa. She’s responsive, professional, and genuinely cares about her tenants’ experience. Maintenance requests get handled quickly, communication is clear, and she makes an effort to keep the property well maintained. It’s refreshing to rent from someone who takes the job seriously and treats residents with respect. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place managed by someone reliable.

In all my 48 years I have not been treated this poorly. First the property manager lied about 1 month free. She collect $1000 over my move in cost. Now I have a balance when I should have a credit for overpayment plus the free rent that is clearly on my lease. Ive spoken to several people none of which has helped. In addition to that the 1st 2 weeks I was in my apartment 5 different plumbers came out due to poop water draining into my hall from the toilet and bathtub. Work orders for appliances get ignored. I take time off of work so that they can come and make the repairs, and no one shows up. No apology, no accountability and no one communicates at that place. I keep getting the run around. I will not renew my lease and I will be reporting this to the better business bureau. In all my years, I have never been so dissatisfied with service that I felt compelled to write a review.

Excellent service from start to finish! FRANCIS MANALANG and the maintenance team was professional, punctual, and paid attention to every detail. They did a great job, left everything clean, and made sure everything was working perfectly before they left. Highly recommend their service. Thank you for the outstanding work!

I've had a great experience with our property manager Josselyn B. She is always professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about the residents. Any questions or maintenance concerns are handled promptly, and communication is always clear and friendly. She works hard to keep the community clean, safe, and welcoming. I really appreciate her and would highly recommend any one of the apartment communities she manages. Beachfront is lucky to have her

Daniel is amazing! He took the time to answer all of my questions and helped me understand. His friendly attitude and excellent customer service made me feel very comfortable. I truly appreciate his professionalism and willingness to help. Thank you Daniel!

Plumbing issue caused leakage into carpeting, led to a strong stench in the rental; carpet cleaning services took care of it quickly and efficiently. Tested for mold to ensure safety, and even left behind equipment to air out the smell. Plumbers came and repaired the cause of the leak very quickly! Pipe replaced within one day, and when we realized the drain was still backed up, they cleared out the blockage the next day with ease. Great experience!

Liberty has always been awesome when I have had an issues with anything that needed to be fixed. A few times I’ve had David Erhardt General Maintenance come out and he has always been very professional and polite. Today he replaced an old toilet and I am very pleased with his work ethics. He did not leave a mess and explained everything that was wrong and showed the finished work he completed. Thank you Liberty for sending David Erhardt General Maintenance!! ☺️ I recommend him for anything maintenance! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have had the opportunity to work with Raymart in a vendor partnership capacity and have consistently been impressed by their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to building strong working relationships. They are an excellent communicator who ensures expectations are clearly understood and consistently follows through on commitments. Throughout our interactions, Raymart has demonstrated a collaborative approach to problem-solving and a genuine interest in achieving mutually beneficial outcomes. They are proactive in addressing challenges, attentive to details, and always willing to work through issues in a constructive and solution-oriented manner. I look forward to working with Raymart again in the future.

Finding a house has been a struggle, but when I found a house I was interested in, I called and was connected with Daniel from Liberty Property Management. For the first time during my search, I spoke with someone who didn't make me feel like I was asking too many questions or being a bother. Daniel was professional, friendly, and patient. He took the time to answer all of my questions and provided all the information I needed. To top it off, I think I may have found the house I want. Even if it doesn't work out, I would gladly continue working with Liberty Property Management based on the excellent customer service Daniel provided. His professionalism and kindness made a stressful process much easier, and I truly appreciate his help.

We have had such a great experience working with Legacy Property Management. We were initially so overwhelmed trying to figure out how to make everything happen, and they made the entire process feel easy and manageable. From our first meeting, Natalie completely understood where we were at and helped us create a game plan for what needed to be done and how to prioritize everything. Once we were ready to rent, Loren jumped in with a clear pricing and rental strategy, and we had a signed lease within a month! We had so many concerns going into this process, and I truly can’t say enough great things about our experience working with the entire team. They made what felt like an overwhelming situation incredibly smooth, and we’re so grateful!

I had an issue with our home's air conditioning not being able to keep up during the summer heat. Jennifer Ruiz kept me informed throughout the process, provided updates when they became available, and coordinated with the owner and the HVAC contractor. Once the replacement was approved, the new A/C and furnace were installed, and the system is now working great. Thank you to Jennifer and everyone involved for seeing the issue through to completion.

I have had a great experience with Legacy Property Management. They have been extremely transparent, communicative and insightful with the entire process of renting my home and have kept me informed the entire way. I truly appreciate the comfort I have received during the entire process.

Wow! Extremely satisfied. The systems that have been used so far are efficient and accurate. Thank you to Nataly who kept in touch while we were transitioning management duties and to Jonathan who has done an excellent job of communicating and being responsive.

Scott today was absolutely fantastic making our garage door work in a snap and the side gate to the backyard too. 1. He cut away dragging portion of the gate. 2. Replaced the bent latch with new one with a great care to align so it naturally closes. 3. Placed slick metal pull loop instead of makeshift sticky phone cord. Now, it works fantastic with no special attention. Anyway we close the gate, it closes securely. Thank you Scott! ~Sukhee

The ascend design team, specifically Jacki and Mike were so helpful and professional with our bath remodel. They answered every question I had with patience , offered suggestions when I was not exactly sure of design feasibility and offered creative input when needed. They were even willing to research and work with a specific material I had chosen that was outside their everyday use- very much appreciated! The estimates and work schedules were clear and timely. I can’t wait to post the before and after photos! Bathroom COMPLETED and it is GORGEOUS! The Ascend team went above and beyond turning this space into exactly what I dreamed it could be! Super team Super craftsmanship!

I had an excellent experience working with this business. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and customer care given by Olivia. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. Truly helped set them apart. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it reflects in the quality of their work. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and outstanding service.

I had a great experience thanks to Melody Mendoza. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and made everything smooth and easy to understand. Her professionalism really stood out, and she took the time to answer all my questions without hesitation. I truly appreciate all of her help and would highly recommend working with her!

Sarah at Ascend Real Estate And Property Management has helped me so much, and I truly appreciate her! I really recommended her. She was incredibly knowledgeable with sales, onboarding new owners, and everything related to real estate. Sarah explained things clearly, answered every question I had, and made the whole process feel stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, patient, and genuinely wants to help, Sarah is amazing. Highly recommend!

Definitely lives up to the review of 5 stars. Ali truly elevated my experience with this company in a way I hadn’t felt at any other company. Prior from being serviced by Ali, I often felt overlooked and brushed aside. However, Ali provided a sense of reliability and genuine support that made a significant difference.. From the start, she was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me navigate my concerns.

Kristen at Ascend Real Estate and Property Management was so pleasant to talk to and incredibly helpful. She took the time to answer all of my questions clearly and made sure I understood everything. It’s obvious she cares about providing great service and making people feel comfortable. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her if you need assistance!

Janesse at Ascend was amazing to work with. She is very easy to talk to and made sure I understood everything throughout the process. Her communication between me and the property owner was seamless, and she was always quick to respond. I really appreciated her professionalism and support!

Moving into my first apartment was exciting but also a little overwhelming, and Maria at RPM Southland made the entire process so much easier!! She was always kind, responsive, and quick to help whenever I had questions or needed assistance. Whether it was answering emails, helping with maintenance requests, or resolving my parking issue, she was professional and genuinely cared about making sure everything was taken care of. I’m very grateful for her and RPM’s help and I really appreciate how much she contributed to making my move in experience a positive one. Thank you Maria!

Real Property Management Southland is a very well run company. They have been very helpful in our switching from self-management for 28 years to having the professionals handle things. With so many issues that can come up, they have given us the piece of mind that our rental is being taken care of. My experience with everyone at RPM has been pleasant. Maria and Angie have gone above and beyond in handling each phase of the process. Each department has responded to our questions and concerns professionally and kindly. We are very pleased with our decision to use Real Property Management Southland.

We had the pleasure of touring with Chelsea in which she was very kind & extremely helpful. She always had an answer to any questions we had & followed up with advice for us. She was very knowledgeable of the property & showed us every bit & piece. The property look exactly like the photos but we enjoyed it more in person. Chelsea made the process smooth & easy. We look forward to submitting an application thanks to Chelsea!

All around a great experience working with RPM. Juan answered all of our questions from the start. Miles was able to meet us quickly to look at the property and come up with a list of things that needed to be done to get it renter-ready, and Jackson was very on top of communicating and getting everything taken care of. We liked that they were friendly to work with and seem focused on both the owners and the tenants. Highly recommended!

Had a seamless and immensely positive experience with RPM including wonderful Angie! We were able to find a beautiful, safe, well priced apartment that fit our needs within just 72 hours of seeing the listing. Cannot recommend more highly!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Evernest Real Estate Corp and were very impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and responsiveness. The entire process was handled thoroughly and promptly, with excellent communication every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly, follow-through was consistent, and their attention to detail made everything feel smooth and organized. It’s clear they value both quality service and client experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and well-managed property management team.

Working with Nina was a great experience. She was professional, responsive, and always willing to help. She answered our questions promptly, communicated effectively with the homeowner, and made the leasing process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate her support and would highly recommend her.

I am a tenant to one of the properties managed by Evernest adn Maria Servin has been my point of contact. She has been absolutely amazing! to work with. Maria consistently goes above and beyond and to assist me, and her response time is exceptional. I have worked with several other property management companies in the past, and while many have been good, the level of dedication, professionalism, and care Maria has shown truly stands out. She genuinely makes tenants feel heard and supported, and it has made a huge difference in my experience as a tenant. I truly apreciate all of her hard work and outstanding customer service.

Maria Servin, was very pleasant, straight to the point and easy to work with. She ensured my lease renewal went through and gave me detailed steps on how to complete said forms. It’s always a pleasure talking to her.

I am so happy with Evernest! Maria has been responsive every time I have reached out and I am so grateful! She was able to even help on a far-fetched request and I couldn't be happier. Great team!

Everyone at Legacy Property Management has been fantastic. I’m extremely pleased with the consistent level of service they provide for my property. Their team is always communicative and stays on top of everything. A special shout-out to Kelsey, who has truly stood out. Her customer service is exceptional. I would highly recommend Legacy Property Management to anyone looking for a reliable property management company.

Paola Perez reached out regarding a tour and she was very helpful with getting me a tour in the evening to accommodate us. She made sure we completed all steps and asked if we needed any additional help. She was a great help through this process and made everything very seamless. Thank you Paola !

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paola Perez, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the excellent service she provided. From the moment I reached out, Paola was incredibly responsive, promptly addressing all my inquiries with clear and thorough answers. Her professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident in every interaction. Paola's attentiveness and efficiency made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

I got assisted by Paola Perez and it was a great experience. Outstanding customer service provided by her. She was not only friendly, but also very fast in her response time making the process so much more easier.

Great Experience. Paola Perez was very flexible with my chaotic schedule. She went out her way to work with me and we figured out a time that works moving is stressful enough she made it a little peaceful for me in the process of looking for a home great agent. Thank u.

Paola Perez was timely and efficient with setting me up for a viewing. She even contacted me by phone when she didn’t hear from me by email which I truly appreciate because I’m horrible at checking my email in a timely manner. She walked me through the steps and made sure I was able to successfully schedule a viewing. Thank you Paola!

Paola Perez was very professional and timely. When I asked anything she came and made sure I had the answers. Quick response to viewings and very open and accepting. Hopefully this review ages well as I'm currently looking for a house to sit down in for a while. Will update if I get a property with this company. So far great experience.

I have taken Mynd to small claims court and received a $4000 judgment against them. They never showed up for court. They are currently in contempt of court and have an in-person trial pending to determine if a bench warrant will be issued. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR. Trust me, they are by far the worst company I have ever done business with. Truly unprofessional, wholly irresponsible, and a legal risk to boot. I hope someone gets arrested soon and I finally get paid my judgement. Update: The judge did issue an arrest warrant for my prior property manager. Once Mynd was notified of this, they sent a check for settlement. In the perfect microcosm for this company, they did not send the correct amount. They didn't pay for final court costs, so the case remains open an unsettled. You'd think they would want this to go away, but they continue to shoot themselves in the foot. It's been weeks, they still haven't reconciled the judgement owed (updated: all costs were paid in the following weeks, case closed). I cannot imagine a scenario where anybody is giving this company a good review. It is insane just how inept they really are. Go look at their better business bureau profile!

Normally I have had a great experience with Mynd. But that is typically because I have not had any issues. However, their lack of urgency to an AC being out, with INTERIOR temperatures hitting 90 degrees, and having elderly people in the home. Is kind of outrageous. AC went out Saturday. No communication til Monday. I called the emergency line and was left to listen to a ringing phone for 20 minutes with no one answering at all. And this was AFTER the repairman came out and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Spoke to them first thing this morning to get an update and here we are, 6 hours later and its radio silence. No one will answer the phone or an email and still nothing from the vendor. A new breaker costs less than $50…this should not be a 5 day process.

I have used Mynd to manage my property in Las Vegas for over 5 years. They have a great portal where I can see work orders, financials, leases, and makes it really easy to stay connected while not being a landlord. The personnel have been very customer service oriented when signing new leases for me. The only opportunity I would call out is that they have had some turnover in personnel so that has been something to get used to, but I think that is happening everywhere.

UNPROFESSIONAL. 0 out of 5 stars I came across a Mynd Property and thought it was, in a nice area, and looked remodeled. I scheduled an appointment for touring. Upon arrival of the property they give you NO instructions on how to access the lock box on property or where to find it, just the access code. Back to my experience. This was my first interaction with this management. I scheduled a viewing, arrived, the property had no way of entry as it was gated, and no visible lock box (no instructions provided). I had to call the service number, which is not a problem. I called and they are instructing me to look for the box, which I do. The box is in the back of someone’s patio…. I opened the box only for there to be no key present. So I wasted my time. No management on site. Their call center representatives are nice. But I spoke to a renter on site that thought I was breaking into their patio (since I was accessing the lock box Mynd instructed me to) and they said that the management company is horrible. Never on site and will charge you for any maintenance you may need

We needed a diseased apple tree removed from our yard. We appreciate the process and the team from Boulder Mgmt that came. John and Aaron did a fantastic job. Thank you

As a business owner, I truly appreciate working with professionals who make the process simple and stress-free. My experience with this management company has been outstanding from start to finish. A special thank you to Cheyenne for her exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Cheyenne made every step of the process easy and smooth, always keeping communication clear and ensuring everything was handled efficiently. Her knowledge, organization, and dedication gave me complete confidence that things were being managed properly. I highly recommend this management company to anyone looking for reliable, professional service. Working with Cheyenne has been a pleasure, and I look forward to continuing our partnership. Thank you for the excellent work!

I had a great experience with this management company. The entire team was professional, organized, and responsive. Katie was especially a pleasure to work with. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to deal with. Her clear communication, attention to detail, and positive attitude made every interaction smooth and hassle-free. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled efficiently. I truly appreciate her dedication and excellent customer service. I highly recommend this management company and look forward to working with them again and again.

Cheyenne , Katie and the crew are very professional and organized. They are extremely easy to work with processing work orders smoothly. The communication and follow ups are probably what makes them stand out from other companies. They obviously take pride in their craft caring for all of their customers properties as their own. If you’re looking for a great team to manage your property, highly recommend hiring these guys.

Ive been a tenant over 10 years. When COVID hit I made sure the rent was paid. They thanked me by trying to illegally raising my rent by hundreds of dollars at once with less then a 30 day notice. I had to fight them to show what they were doing was illegal even throwing the same section code back at them they tried to throw at me. Ever since they have forced me to pay for their resident care plan and would not accept my already paid for AAA renters insurance. I was month to month for years, they began charging me 100 a month to stay rent to rent pushing me into signing a yearly lease. Which they have since legally uped my rent every year to the max amount they can. I have also started paying for water, per my lease. Recently I got into a bad car accident other party at fault but I took months before the car was paid off and I was left with a lack of ability to get to work. Im playing catch up. So I paid my rent week late, but I couldn't pay the fees applied. I tried to work with them saying I would pay by this date. They did not accept it and told me if it wasn't paid a week sooner I would be charged another fee. This time the fee was more than the last. They have tried to have me pay for maintenance that they legally had to repair and I had to fight them on it to remove the charges from my account. The gardeners broke the front window what a rock flew at it and it cracked, they stated I was responsible for fixing the window. They are greedy and will try to get you anywhere they can. My neighbor won't even reach out to fix things she just pays out of pocket because its cheaper. They will try to speak to you over the phone or in person so its not documented. Make sure you document everything. I should note they were not the original rental management company when we moved in 2015. RPM took over the property in like 2018. Update. Window is not fixed and hasnt ever been fixed. It was never about someone attempting breaking in and I would gladly sew this so called documentation of this you have. As for the legally increasing rent, I have documentation showing like I stated above it was an attempt to do so illegally, I just happen to not be stupid and made it clear this was done illegally. Forcing RPM to go the legal way. I have documentation of this. Thank you.

I had a very disappointing experience with this property management company. From the beginning, communication was inconsistent and often unprofessional. Maintenance requests were either ignored or took an unreasonable amount of time to be addressed, even when they involved urgent issues. Additionally, there was a clear lack of transparency when it came to fees and policies. Charges would appear without proper explanation, and getting clarification was frustrating and time-consuming. It often felt like tenant concerns were dismissed rather than taken seriously. Overall, the level of service provided did not meet basic expectations. I would strongly recommend that others carefully consider their options before signing a lease managed by this company. If you want, tell me the specific issues you faced (late repairs, deposits, rude staff, etc.), and I can tailor this to sound sharper or more detailed. I would strongly caution others before renting from this property management company. After moving out, my security deposit was not returned, and the charges provided were excessive and unjustified. There was little to no explanation for the deductions, and attempts to get a clear, itemized breakdown were either ignored or met with vague responses. The unit was left in good condition, yet it felt like they were looking for any excuse to withhold funds. This experience came across as dishonest and unfair, especially given the lack of transparency and accountability. Based on my experience, I would not trust this company to handle tenant deposits responsibly. Renters should be very careful, document everything thoroughly, and be prepared for potential disputes when moving out.

OCPM has been great to work with! The whole team is super knowledgeable and on top of everything. Special shoutout to Elizabeth for all her help getting my property insurance set up and handling all the back and forth with the insurance agents for me. She made the whole process so much easier!

I had scheduled an appointment to view one of the rentals in Cypress. I was told to call when I was in front of the property to meet with the agent, "Israel." I got there 10 minutes early. My appointment was at 4 PM, so I waited until 4. After 4 PM I called the office and was told to call back if the agent didn’t arrive. I called again after 15 minutes, but I was put on hold and then forwarded to voicemail. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes. It’s even more upsetting because as a night nurse, I had to take time out of my day for something that ended up being a waste of my time. It’s also disappointing because the area/ property had a calm ambiance that I really liked. It’s a shame they have such unprofessional staff.

i’ve been property searching rentals for quite some time now and i had a great experience at OCPM with a representative named Timmy. he was on top of things, took his time to knowledgeably answer all of my questions, and smoothly guided me throughout the entire process! i would recommend to definitely ask for Timmy if you’re looking at OCPM properties

DO NOT WORK WITH!!!! Honestly I feel this company is just a scam to collect application fees from prospective renters. They are really great at responding to you before you send them the application money and as soon as you do they stop responding to emails and calls. After submitting the application and $120 application fee for me and my fiance, I had to follow up about the rental multiple times. Most of the time no one answered. Once I was able to get ahold of the leasing center, they told me that the owner was thinking about selling the house. The owner decided to sell the house and they said they would refund us our money. It has been multiple weeks of no response and false promises of the refund being processed, and still no refund.

Timmy from Orange County Property Management has been incredibly nice and helpful throughout the application process. He is always friendly, patient, and quick to answer any questions I have about the application and requirements. I really appreciate his professionalism and willingness to help. Great customer service!
