I continue to recieve threats of legal action to this day, and harrassing messages demanding I remove my post. In response, I inquired if the property management company provides oversight of their property's water heaters regularly, due to the water heater appearing as if has not been inspected for several years. If the oversight of their properties water heaters are not their responsibility, this post is inaccurate and shall be removed. read more

Since Aborn took over the property, everything went downhill. They're tiring to work with, ineffective, and callous. They're like cheap slumlords out of an old cartoon. Think Mr Burns without the money or prestige, working out of a boiler room, behind an airport that you've never heard of. They ruined the place and denied responsibility for everything. Their employees were offensive and behaved inappropriately. Cartoon slumlords. read more

No resolution because it was only a apology nothing more ~ how can I be a client when my calls aren't returned ~ you are only responding because I called you out on YOUR VERY POOR CUSTOMERS SERVICE AND EXCUSES ~ give it up already!!! read more

I was introduced by a friend to know Joi, my friend is happy Joi's service to help her find a good place to stay in the Bay Area. I couldn't find anyone better than Joi. She helps to manage my apartment, with Joi, I worry free. She is responsible, always quick response, doing what I asked for as her own. She never asked me to write online, but I think her good service should be known. read more

If i could give a negative star review I would Aborn properties is unprofessional and has done nothing but sleezy business tactics. They recently took over my property. The issues between the owner and I have been rocky since she refuses to fix anything on the property. They took over in January and served me with a three day notice to pay after I withheld rent due to uninhabitable issues in my rental. It was rescinded and I was told that the rent would be waived until the repairs were completed. First reported December of 2023. Now that they finally have found someone to complete the work, they are stating that I am still responsible for the rent from January to March but will prorate the rent while I am out of the unit. I told them that my utilities have been increased because I have to leave the heater running and window open due to mold in the house. I ask about being reimbursed for the hot water leaking 24/7 which caused the mold, as well. The Property Manager ignores these issues and does not respond. I didn't want the repairs to go undone and was trying to be civil and work with them by registering for their portal. I am not a difficult tenant; I am in the industry and have been managing properties in San Jose for 20 years now. Even when I worked with difficult owners they would never resolve to shady tactics and neither would in dealing with residents. read more

I had been corresponding with Joi Walker from Aborn properties since March 4th about 1 particular rental property in San Jose. My family and I viewed the property,submitted our application(s); did everything that Joi communicated to me to do via e-mail. I/we were waiting to hear if we got it....didn't hear anything. I decided Monday, March 16th @1:09p.m. to send a message to Joi (doing a follow-up); she responds back to me after 3p.m., that today at 2:30p.m. someone else was given the property to rent. I was flabbergasted! .......still shaking my head..... read more

Aborn continues to be my rock and foundation, as I navigate the joys and challenges of rental property ownership in San Jose. Couldn't recommend them more -- responsive, not scared to work hard, and know their stuff. Thanks Aborn -- you let me sleep at night!! read more

We've been renting a home for one year through Aborn properties in the person of Ms. Joi. We were new to the Bay Area and didn't have any local reference. Even though they had a long list of prospect tenants, she took care of collecting references overnight from our former landlord in Europe who only speaks French. I was so excited to learn that our application had been accepted the next morning. That was a great service. She's always been very responsive and helpful and we haven't had any complaints. Recommended. read more

We have been in a lease for 4 and a half years with them, they always replied in a promptly and helpful way when we needed maintenance or assistance. Very honest when it came to give us back our deposit. I don't give 5 starts because Roy is the opposite of sympathetic and smiling and nice, he needs to learn how to be professional and kind. Thankfully Joy is very nice and always willing to help. Overall they do a great job and I would recommend to any renter or owner! read more

Joi and her team at Aborn Properties managed my townhome at the Villages for 13 years. She screened tenants effectively, kept on top of repairs, and was fair to all parties. I own a number of rental properties in other areas, and this is the only management company I have used where I did not have to "manage the manager." A couple of the vendors she used would not have been my top picks, but they got the job done. I sold the property in what should have been a stress free transaction to the tenant. Joi handled that as well, and she found good solutions for unexpected issues that cropped up. It takes a certain personality type to be a good property manager. You have to be a good judge of character and able to ignore some bad behavior in your interactions with tenants and landlords. Joi has the right personality and I recommend you consider her and Aborn Properties if you need someone to manage a property in the South Bay. read more

I don't often write reviews but it is my honor to write this review on Aborn Properties. For the past three years Aborn Properties has managed the property I have been renting. I must say I have been very impressed and satisfied with their service. Not only have they been professional and courteous, they have been prompt at getting things fixed by honest and reliable companies. The agent I had the pleasure of dealing with was Joi Walker. Joi has always been accessible, returns calls promptly and gets done whatever is needed. If you are in need of a property manager I strongly encourage you to contact Aborn Properties. You will have no regrets. read more

Aborn has been really great to work with. I used them to manage my rental for the last 7 years or so and they have been consistently helpful and very competent at tending to the things that inevitably go wrong with houses. Perhaps best of all, they found wonderful tenants that took great care of the place. read more

I have worked with Andrea (and Aborn) for years, absolutely the best experience, year over year. Andrea is thorough, knowledgeable, and takes care of the little things before they become problems. I have no hesitation in trusting her with managing $+1M rental properties. She is quick to identify, report, and resolve problems - exactly what you want in a professional property management team. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Joi from Aborn Property has been helping me manage my rental property for the last 10 years. She's professional, quick to respond to any questions/concerns I have, and very conscientious about saving money for me, be it a small repair/maintenance or a decent-sized remodel we recently did. They are also using web tools to streamline a lot of the landlord/property manager communications and expense/payments. So if you are tech-savvy you'd appreciate that. Joi has also helped me sell my property after 10 years. I was remote, and she handled everything, from the remodel to showing the property and tons of paperwork. We sold the unit within 1 month of listing, significantly above the asking price. I could not have been happier with Joi and with Aborn Property. I would definitely work with them again. read more

Total jokes. When they took over one of their agents came over to introduce themselves as the new property managers for the house. I was in the freaken bathroom and when I came out these white folks were inside my house without my consent at all. I was like what the f**k. On top of that they raised the rent on a property that was not up to standards yet alone have any good reason to raise my rent by $300 more. I tried to contact them for issues as well and they only fix the easy things and leave the more hatd repairs on hold ( Some issues have been in the house for over a year now). I contact them and ask them that I need to speak with the owner to adress this and they just keep on putting me on hold or say that he is not available. (Obviously they are just covering their asses at this point). Either way I would avoid these scam artist and would really advise anyone renting a property from them to have an inspector with them when they are planning to rent a property from them. Yes youll pay a small inspector fee but trust me you will save yourselves a huge headache from renting a property that is turned upside down and is just made to look nice with fresh paint. read more

We have had nothing but a great experience! The quick response we get when problems arise is truly appreciated and we have always felt like any issues have been addressed. We are grateful for such a positive experience! Thank you! read more

Let me begin by stating that my experience as a landlord using Aborn Properties to manage my property was a great business decision. I had a situation where I was transferred out of the area and I wanted to rent my property rather then sell it. I at first thought about handling it myself but I quickly came to the conclusion that the potential headaches and challenges as an absentee landlord was a labyrinth I did not want to enter and I quickly decided that a property manager was the wisest avenue to take. Here again, finding a good manager that really meets expectations presents another problem. After several interviews with other property managers, I decided to hire Aborn. As soon as I moved out, they stepped in and cleaned up what I had missed and had tenants in almost immediately. They handled all situations seamlessly. They informed me in a timely manor of any changes. And during the whole time, there was nothing for me to do except watch my rent checks come in, always on time. Here are some examples of how they manage: --The first tenants were forced to leave early due to a transfer and Aborn had a new tenant for me within a week. --The tenant notified Aborn that there was a problem with the dishwasher. Aborn had an appliance repair man out right away to look at it. They called me and said these are the two options and the costs. All I had to do was give an approval and they had the repair man out to fix it. --They made property inspections as promised and kept furnace and refrigerator water filters changed. I was by no means their best client. But they sure treated me like I was. read more

I have 1 star because these people don't answer the phone or call back. I wanted to rent a home and left a detailed message about myself and the property. I mainly wanted to see it in person since it's always hard to tell the size of an empty house from pictures. We ended up renting a fully remodeled house about a mile away. Didn't have to deal with the unkempt yard or chipping paint. I guess they did me a favor by not reaching out to me. read more

I have enjoyed working with Andrea Caldwell at Aborn Properties for several years. She is professional, honest, experienced, responsive, and trustworthy. read more

I would like to say from the beginning of dealing with Aborn Properties, the staff was very nice. I had told them that I was in the military and would need to be let out of my lease if I got orders to leave. The few issues that I had with the property was billed to me and not the land owners. Make no mistake, the staff is very nice, but the company looks out for the owners of the homes and not the tenants. I was not let out early, and had to push back my own promotion in order to stay in the house an extra two weeks in order pay the rent. Then I am told that I can pay more in order to not have to pay the change. The bill was 1547.50, and they asked me to pay 1548 in order to not have to handle change. REALLY???? A check with the exact amount will be sent. Too much trouble.... read more

Joi is really awesome and very on top of things. She's quick, personable and very responsive. Thank you, Joi!

Aborn Properties, and in particular Joi Walker, has been the quintessential property management team. I rely on them for information, suggestions, and expert advice. I have been with them as a rental-owner for over 20 years, and they never cease to amaze me with their customer service, professionalism, and insight. I've had other property managers, and I can unequivocally say using Aborn as my property manager is one of the smartest moves I've made. I find them to be honest, efficient, and extremely helpful. read more

When my mom went into an assisted living facility 5 years ago I hired Aborn Properties manage her house as a rental as I live a 5-hour drive away from San Jose. I am extremely happy with all aspects of how they dealt with the renters and managed the large property (gardeners, etc.). Everything has run perfectly and I get clear, concise monthly invoices outlining rental incomes and various expenses. I highly recommend them for property management. read more

The property managers are very unprofessional. We were first applicant on one of the property. We came look at the property right after the renters left. The manager said they'll have the property finished next week and will call us back to look at it one more time. So, we're waiting and waiting. No phone call, so we call back. Guess what he said. Ooh, the property is no longer available. Someone took it this morning. He rented the property without even give a courtesy call. What a jerk... read more

Aborn Properties was my property manager for more than three years. I was very impressed with their professionalism and service. As a tenant, I appreciated their quick response time and attention to detail. My contact was Joi and she was always very friendly and willing to help without being intrusive or annoying. Rent payments were facilitated by an easy and immediate online payment system which meant I didn't have to send a rent check a week in advance. The return of the deposit was fair, timely, and well detailed. My experience with Aborn was first-rate and I would highly recommend them. read more

A little sketchy...felt like I was being scammed the whole time because they don't call you to let you know the status...when I called they didn't know what was going on. Just really wierd and unprofessional...are they even a real company? read more

Do NOT under any circumstances use Aborn Property Management as your property management company. Aborn is a complete rip off! They will rip you off just as sure as I'm sitting here! Firstly they showed little to no interest in getting our property rented. We explained to them we were under tight time constraints but they showed little to know concern if our place was rented or not. They would not return our calls. I was so upset with their lack of interest or progress I told them I wanted them to call us every day at 10am with a report. They never even called once! Well they finally got it rented. Just now we look at our statement from them and see a $100 charge for going to our house to spray for spiders!!! Another $100 charge to explain to the tenants how to use the thermostat. But by far the most shocking was when the tenants complained about a smell coming from the bathroom sink some one went over there, found nothing wrong and charged us another $100 for the visit. These charges are ON TOP of the 8% they charge! As I said before, do not use this company! read more
