Full Disclaimer - I own property here and have lived at Bayside for over 7 years…read more It makes me sad to see the low reviews - although in some cases, I can definitely see where folks are coming from. The good: - I purchased this condo as a single woman and it was a great stepping stone into home ownership. [I now own a house in Oakland and a house is a LOT more work.] Bayside always made me feel safe ... multiple layers of security (locked doors, gates etc) and that peace of mind is priceless. - Great location (convenient to the freeway) and residents are eligible for the Albany school district (which I hear is very good). Casual carpool is right outside and for many years I commuted to San Francisco via carpool, the AC transit or walked to BART. - Lots of other good things to say - which were important to me as a home buyer, but then this would start to sound like my Craigslist ad! The bad: - The HOA fees are definitely high ($485 a month) - although it does include water, garbage and cable. That's money you can't write off. - Freeway noise - depending on which direction you face, although many of the units closer to the freeway have double pane windows. - Strict HOA rules around number of dogs, weight limit of your pets, and although this never impacted me - I always say posts about pool and hot tub usage. Probably less of an exercise lap pool and more of a pool for kids. The current office manager Paul is the best one I've seen since I've been there (I think that's been 3 different ones). He's certainly the most friendly and helpful. Or maybe he's just nicer to me b/c one time the trash bin got away and crushed my fiance's truck (srsly!) I am renting out my condo now b/c I intend to either move back one day or let my parents move in when they get a bit older - the Pacific East Mall is within walking distance.

OWNERS: Upcoming Financial Disaster…read more Do not be fooled by the big bank balance the current leadership brags about in the election packet. It is a total trap to hide the fact that our actual property is falling apart and running out of money. Based on the official financial packet sent to owners, here is the real story: Massive Financial Shortfall: The board boasts about having millions in savings, but their own official report shows that the cost to fix just the elevators and the roofs alone is millions of dollars more than what is sitting in the bank. They do not have enough money to cover even these two things, leaving completely zero dollars for the rest of our crumbling building. Sky-High Operational Expenses: Well over $750,000 a year is being swallowed up completely by daily utilities like gas, electricity, water, and trash. Because so much cash is being drained by these massive utility bills, they have only done very, very minor repairs instead of the fundamental construction work we desperately need. Everything is Broken and Expired: The official paperwork explicitly states that major parts of the property--including our structures, concrete, and landscaping--have "0 years of life left." They are completely past their expiration date and need immediate replacement, yet fundamental repairs have been entirely ignored. The Disaster Coming Next Year: Because they have spent years ignoring the core structural issues while burning cash on utilities and minor tasks, everything is breaking down at the exact same time. The current savings cannot cover it. If this same leadership gets back in, it will be a complete disaster for our wallets. To pay for these multi-million dollar repairs, they will have no choice but to hit us with massive HOA dues increases or force a devastating Special Assessment fee on every single owner next year. Protect your investment and your hard-earned money. We must stop this operation before it is too late. Vote for a complete change in leadership! Sent from my iPhone

We had the pleasure of celebrating my sisters baby shower here. Absolutely beautiful venue. Very…read morespacious with plenty counter and refrigerator space provided for any event. The ambiance was welcoming and bright. The restrooms were very clean and sanitary. The patio area was open with plenty of outdoor space and seating. In front was plenty street parking near destination. As for the owner he was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. However, the neighbor was problematic. During the middle of games, we were interrupted by the neighbor playing loud unearthly music blasting through a speaker specifically placed in their window towards our party. When asked by the owner to come to a reconciliation she refused and threatened to call patrol. Our party was still fun, but very distracted. The vibes were off, the owner tried to improvise by letting us bring music outside with a minimum volume limit but it didn't help much.

I am a good person I have never in my life written a bad review so I applied for these properties…read moreon 2806 Charleston Ln, San Pablo CA I went to see the properties The lady said only one other person applied. Me, and that they have two units available I went in to do the application, at 3088 Pinole Valley Road Pinole, CA 94564 I also wrote a letter to explain my situation. And provided them a voucher I was told they should be getting in contact with me in two weeks, or probably sooner I didn't get a call or email coming into the third- week so on 3/2/2026 at 9:23am I called. The lady told me that they rented one of the units and then she told me that another unit was still available and asked if I have a updated voucher. I then told her that I can't get an updated one because I have to put in a 30-day notice at my current place to get my updated one. But I am approved for a 3bed room do to my extended family. Remind you all of this is what I said in the letter when submitting my application She then tells me that's not true I know people that has there's basically telling me that I am a liar. I was very offended so she asked me again. Can I get an updated voucher today I then said I can try to go get something stating that I have a three-bedroom voucher so I went to the housing office, called her back at 11:13am the secretary picked up and said didn't you just talk to her. We already have two people in both of the units. I then told her that's not what she said. She then transferred me back to the lady I then put the Housing Authority on the phone. She talked with them and everything that she told the housing lady wasn't what she told me. She then proceeded and said we would have to wait for inspections an etc. but what I didn't understand was why she didn't tell me that why did she ask me to go get an updated voucher instead of saying you didn't get the place? After I went 45 minutes away to the housing place and waited in a long line and had to wait to talk with someone She didn't even apologize for calling me a liar after they told her the something I told her if you already know dealing with people with section 8 vouchers requires exceptions why let them apply these rental properties Been up for 84 days already and you're talking about waiting on inspection I was discriminated against. I didn't get a fair chance. This is unacceptable. I feel like I was racially profiled. The moment she got my application. I should have at least gotten a call asking for whatever she needed, and I would have worked on it, but no instead they took my application fee, which I was told that I was going to get back and didn't I'm not mad that I didn't get it I'm upset about the unprofessionalism and discrimination and the disrespect people love to abuse their power I wouldn't recommend anyone to this agency unprofessional and unfair treatment bad communication this is not how you should represent your company the world we live in is so sad I encourage people to know your rights and look up the laws are connecte attorneys

Lynette at Bartels managed my rental home in Richmond for over two years. I live out of state, so I…read morewas very anxious to get a property manager that would really do the job. (I have had other managers for other properties in the past that seemed more interested in collecting their share of the rent than in actually managing the property, protecting my interests and keeping the tenants happy.) Lynette met all my needs. She kept me in the loop when I needed to be, but blissfully ignorant when informing me of some minor issue would have served no purpose. The tenants we selected have been very good to my property and I have had no issues with rental payments. If I ever need a manager in the Richmond area again, Lynette would be the person I would call.

I had a frustrating experience with this company. I was not properly followed up with regarding my…read moreappointment, and when I arrived, it was unclear that the business was strictly appointment-only. The front desk also did not appear to be consistently present or available for walk-in customers, which made it difficult to get assistance or even understand what I was supposed to do next. If the company is appointment-only, that information should be communicated clearly and consistently before customers arrive. The front desk should also have a reliable system for handling people who come in or need assistance. Overall, the lack of communication and accessibility made the experience unnecessarily frustrating. I hope the company improves its follow-up and front-desk procedures so future customers don't run into the same issue.

Thanks to Luther, we found our dream home…read more We had been looking in the east bay for quite some time, with no luck. Our first encounter with buying a home in Point Richmond (Luther helped us then) back in 2015 but the deal fell through because the seller got cold feet. Over the months Luther stayed in touch and we would keep an eye on "The Point" (the cutest little community!) and Luther was kind, interested, asked questions, and kept us informed without over doing it. Finally, a lovely house with a magnificent view became available and Luther (who grew up in Point Richmond, BTW.) helped us and the seller come to an agreement with so little stress and anxiety we could hardly believe it. Here's the thing: Luther Martin is a super conscientious, empathetic and thoughtful person. He's generous with his time, he sweats the details and he knows this neighborhood like no other realtor. (In fact, he is a local and lives here in town!) I would absolutely recommend the Point Realty team. (Karen is his partner, also always eager to help.) Local little businesses like this are such a treasure. They know the neighborhood, they live and shop locally, they are invested in the town's well being and they care deeply for the people they represent, whether you end up doing business with them or not.

Awful experience with Karen Kittle. I was selling a home at the end of an amicable divorce and, in…read morean effort to remain neutral, agreed to the third party recommended Point Realty. Karen was minimally helpful in preparing our home for sale and marketing was subpar. We got one bad offer with her that she encouraged us to take. I firmly believe the time wasted with this brokerage cost us. We were fortunate to work with a skilled agent afterward that brought us an above asking offer, but the market had cooled from the first listing. I (and our agent) believe we would have had much more excitement if it was initially prepared and presented by the right agent. I was so irritated by the entire experience it's taken literal years to write this review. My relationship with Karen ended when I had to request letterS(!!) from my real estate attorney to demand release from our listing agreement. My attorney agreed the conduct I described was at best lazy and at worst unethical. Normally I'd speak to an agent's broker with this kind of behavior, but Karen is the broker and seems quite entitled about it. They didn't make much effort to improve on our complaints and instead were defensive about everything. You really want to force unhappy clients to continue working with you? And then enforce a fee provision? Are you unaware your industry is supported by referrals? I do not understand what they hoped to gain in that nightmare. Thankfully we were eventually let out of the listing agreement and were able to move on. That's all we wanted - to go our separate ways. Greed is a poor business plan. Some of our complaints: As first time sellers no longer living together or in the home we had specifically requested help in preparing the home for sale. We were told they could help but were very disappointed in what was actually provided (small list of names or numbers, vendors that were not timely). We requested help with staging and it was never done - no staging at all. I in particular felt frequently left out of the loop on the sale process and am sure we either were not a priority client or that the agents were lazy. For example, Karen asked my ex (though not me) if someone could host an open house in her place - it wasn't even another agent, but someone fully unlicensed and not in the industry. I think they wrongly believed the Pt Richmond small town market is cornered by a couple small teams, but I promise that's changing. In contrast, our following agent essentially project managed some minor improvements we had wanted Karen's help with (asked for but did not receive) that made a huge difference. Marketing was beautiful, with professional looking photos and not quick phone shots. It was a night and day experience. Plenty of better agents that will be more attentive to your home and actually work to get you the best price, not just shuffle paperwork.
