This is the most professional property management company I have ever rented from. My fence blew down a few months ago and the replacement fence was superior to most homeowners fences. They didn't just repair several fence sections, they replaced the whole fence using redwood. If you are looking for a great management company to rent through and not be treated like subhumans....this is your place. They quickly resolve any issue same day and always answer the phone when I call. read more

Advanced Realty Management - Commercial Real Estate Near Me - Bakersfield, California

If I could rate 0, I would give it that. This place does not deserve 1 star. Took a month to allow us to see the unit. When we did, they told us repairs were underway and everything would be fixed before we moved in. Spoiler alert, the place was exactly the same down to the master closet doors stuffed in the master bathroom. There were at least 20 different things wrong, the oven was broken, the stove barely worked, the ventilation broken, the back door didn't lock, and the garage was filled with debris and a secret tenant. Just to name a few issues out of many. From day one, we took pictures and notified the company. They said they would take care of it. Weeks would go by with radio silence. It is like pulling teeth to get anything accomplished. It took 6 months to get the stove replaced, after it had been removed with no replacement in sight for 3 weeks. Only been here for 6 months. The ceiling caved in, black mold everywhere. Took forever to get that taken care of. Everytime we called when we were lucky enough to get an answer, we were given the run around. The staff is incredibly condescending when these issues should have been fixed prior to us moving in like they promised. The repair men they hired continuously missed appointments and when they did show up, it was 5 hours late and they couldn't do much after dark. The newest repairman bailed three separate times, despite us working hard to accommodate their schedule and missing work to make it here. The guy shows up, reeking of booze and very rude. Leaves the breaker box off and not telling us like it's our fault. I know desperate times call for desperate measures but don't be like me and settle for this actual roach infested slum. Theyre nice to your face, promise to help because they care about you, but something always comes up and "there's nothing" they can do. read more

ZERO STARS***Warning!!!!! PLEASE! DO NOT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME and give Shawn Barton lic#01878646 the con artist your hard-earned money**** THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM!!!! He is either a "Con man master mind" out to take advantage of as many individuals as he can or he's completely incompetent in running a legit business. I'll explain the completely unprofessionalism I experienced with 1st his staff and then, to put the cherry on top, when I went to question the inconsistencies with the application process Shawn came out of his office and without even knowing the situation got irate and irritated that I was taking time away from his front desk lady answering the phones and told me i had to leave the property when I tried to explain the miss communication we were sorting out he wanted to hear no part of it he said I needed to leave and then yelled at his front desk lady to deny my application right then and there!!! All bc he couldn't handle me asking why I'm getting the run around on my application. I filled an application out paid $90 in application fees for 3 adults the website states its an equal opportunity rental management company well thats complete B.S! and it also says it takes up to 14 days to process an application. So I waited 2 weeks after we applied to check on the status of our app... that's when the nightmare began! Its a long story but ill try to keep it brief and to the point.Kala who processes the applications 1st stated she hadn't received anything back! After 2 weeks there's no way so i said np ill get a hold of everyone personally and make sure she gets verification for rental history and employment bc she continued to tell me she couldn't start to process my application until she had all verification forms completed of course I panicked since we have been trying to move before my kid starts high-school I was willing to do whatever it takes to get our app processed asap but When I hit up my current landlord he said he filled out the form and emailed it back the day after he received the form??? Confused, I emailed Kala and she still stated she didn't have it... get ready! this is the art to their scam... every verification form they sent out was returned filled out and completed!! every one of our employers verified they sent and received verification emails back from advanced reality YET!!! as I was telling her I have verification that we did our part so u should have everything u need to process our application she either has no organizational skills to complete a proper verification process or she's straight up lying to my face that she never received our employer verification and this was over a week of resubmittING ALL forms at least 2x before I told myself I'm gonna bring my proof to her directly and get the ball rolling on our application bc at first I was giving her and advanced reality the benefit of the doubt that everything is there she just hadn't put 2 and 2 together yet so I went in on my day off and told them I understand it's hectic and things can get mixed up how ever she continued to lie about not receiving our paperwork even as I'm showing her proof of email confirmations she herself sent to everyone! when I told her I'm having a hard time believing she didn't receive employer verification when my employer sent me a screen shot of the email she got verifying advanced reality got the forms that's when con man Shawn busted out of his office and said what exactly is the problem I told him the problem is Kala is saying she still needs employer verification to proceed w our applications but I have emailed verification that she already got them TWICE...he cuts me off and asked Kala what does she need to process her app as a way to shut me up and that's when she continued to say employer verification but since he cut me off I was trying to explain she has the verification bc I have the emails proving she received them twice... he got super irritated about the loop we found ourselves in then proceeded to tell Kala u know what pull her application out now and deny her. So stay away!!!! Epic scam for a lazy or incompetent team. read more

Over 4 years ago I rented a duplex from Shawn and less than 2 months into my 1 year lease our roof started leaking in several spots. I took pictures and call him the next day and he never did anything about it. A month later the entire awning down the whole side if the building came down and could of killed someone and he still did nothing about it for a entire year. I called every week to see what they were gonna do to fix it and it was a excuse every time. Eventually I moved out due to not making the repairs. 4 years later he turned me into collection for "damages to the unit" and when I called him he pretended to not know anything about it. This company is crooked and I wouldn't rent a outhouse from them!! read more

I am a current tenant here moved in at the beginning of November walked into a condo needing repairs such as a back fence falling down leaky faucet on the back patio light fixture dangling by the wire outside on the patio they replaced the waterlines outside but not inside the house so now I have rusty water and now they want the plumber to come in and cut holes in my ceiling in my condo and replace the waterlines inside my house after I just moved in when they had two weeks before I moved in to do all these repairs. With the recent rain I have developed a leak in my roof right above my bed I called the emergency number I was told to file a work request and I told them well what about the damage to my bed aren't you going to send somebody out now to fix it they said no you should have renters insurance I am now going on day two of collecting water my ceiling has now started to fall down in my bedroom I called the emergency number again last night about it andFilled out a work request and see if I get any response today because so far I haven't heard any response about the first leak work request I put in When I first moved in I found breadcrumbs on the cutting board along with a butter knife with peanut butter still on it the only thing it looked like they did was vacuum the floors.the tile floors were filthy talked to the property management they have no knowledge of the properties they rent they keep telling me I have laundry hook ups within my condo I have looked in every closet and still cannot find them they told me they did a walk-through but yet didn't notice all the stuff that I listed on my pre-occupant walk-through inspection going on 23 days now and nothing has been taken care of yet it's gonna be a long 12 months here regret signing my lease read more

See all

I really recommend advanced realty management to anyone who is looking to rent. Patty and everyone else super nice and helpful.

I would not recommend renting from this company. By far the worst of all my experiences. They are slow to respond to work requests and the front desk is rude. When the water heater went out, we were told it was not an emergency that we could boil hot water for showers. They will use most of your deposit as an excuse to hire there own cleaning and carpet people ...by stating "it's not up to their standards". We paid a license carpet cleaning co and professional cleaning service only to be charged again even with giving them the receipts. Definitely take photos before you move in and request for everything to be fixed before you move out. read more

I would not recommend advance realty management, We rented for 2 years with them, moved in 2017 and moved out in May 2019, the handyman they would provide for us (Israel ) would do a mediocre job in everything around the house. He would even ask my husband who is a construction worker to fix the the stuff himself said that was the fastest way to get anything done. If he did any work himself he would buy the cheapest material he could find. Many times I made complains off mold and water leakage in the master bedroom, again the handyman would come look at the problem and just say he would come back and fix it. Witch he never did, the best he could do for us when maggots started coming out of the wood in the master bathroom vanity was just patch it up with a one layer of caulking, never mind I was 8 months pregnant and the mold and maggots were still there. We eventually got tired of it and just let it be since we were just renting. I let the company know of this and even provided pictures and nothing was done. The receptions were always very friendly but for some reason they never lasted more then a couple of months, every time we needed something they would refer us to Melissa who was always so rude and never available. Their accounting was a nightmare we got hit with fees for everything even if it wasn't our fault and nothing would ever get done about reimbursing us. The last straw was when it came time to move out, we let them know ahead of time over the phone and over an email so we could have proof still they gave us a fee for 2 extra days because we failed to provide them with an advance realty official form that they had to email to us, this was not written in our contract. After detailing the place for a week so we could make sure to get our deposit back of $1800 they hit us with fees of $1300 they only gave us $500 back. My husband being a construction worker repaired everything in that house and i mean everything we even hired a cleaning person and still they charged us for cleaning, and all the work the handyman Israel had done or should i said hadn't and said he did. We tried contacting Melissa and of course she was not available to talk to us, We eventually stooped calling them we figured it was a waste of our time. read more

We rented a property from AIPM. While at first it was great, the service declined over the two and half years we stayed there. Upon move in, it was clear that the property was not well taken care of. Nearly half the light bulbs were not working and there was some major dry wall repair done in the hall way (not well done, by the way). There were coaxial cables in every room, run along base boards and over door frames. Of course, we just assumed it to be no big deal. We paid a large deposit for our dogs, but upon moving in, discovered the fence to be falling apart. My dogs managed to break through the wooden fence 6 times in less than 2 weeks. Each time, I would have to try and find them (once being gone for 4 days), and put up new dog ears to replace the broken ones. I decided to purchase some 2x4's and reinforced the fence. Over time, the fence began to sag, so we reported it. The order sat unserviced in their online portal until we moved out. A few months later, we had a clog in the shower. I tried to use drain cleaner and snake it but couldn't find anything. We called and had their plumber come out. He couldn't find anything either, stating that the lime scale must have been the cause. Per our rental agreement, we had to pay for that service. I was not prepared for that, as no other landlord I have ever rented from made us pay. Tenant beware. At some point, we had entered into escrow into a new home. We entered our 30 day notice faithfully. However, escrow fell out and we asked to rescind our notice. We were charged $300 to do this, to cover their cost of advertising. Several months later, we entered into escrow again. I called to confirm the process of a 30 day notice, but was told that if we turned in another 30 day notice, they would not let us rescind again; We would have to move. Fair enough. We waited until escrow closed to turn in our notice, effectively costing an extra month's rent. About a week before turning in keys, we scheduled a walk through of the property. We made sure that both my wife and I were present. No one showed up for 45 minutes, so we called to find out why. The office didn't seem to know there was an inspection at all and had to call their staff about it. The owner of Advanced, Shawn (spelling unknown), magically showed up 5 minutes later. Because we had not finished moving out, Shawn stated that he could not perform the walk through but would look around to see what was going on. He walked around for about ten minutes taking pictures. Once finished, I asked Shawn directly what we needed to do to get our deposit back. His exact answer: "Everything." I asked for further clarification and he rattled off a few things. Fully expecting some paperwork to help define what "everything" meant, he said he doesn't give paperwork when he cannot do a full inspection. I thought that very odd. That interaction with Shawn did not sit well with me, and based on the continued poor interactions my wife and I were having with the office, I called to discuss the matter with Melissa, who I believe to be the office manager. I asked if we had offended the office because their behavior left us with the impression we had wronged them by moving out. Melissa denied any offense, but when asked why we didn't get any sort of pre-move out paperwork, she immediately transferred me over to Shawn. Shawn and I spoke on the phone for approximately 25 minutes, during which time Shawn told me that he has never given out inspection paperwork. I questioned the legality of that, to which he responded somewhat aggressively that he's never had a problem in 20 years. It became clear that the intent was not to return a full deposit to us. This led me to search out some of the online reviews for AIPM, and to my shock, found reviews with similar incidents by over 30 people. Persuant to Civil Code 1950.5 (f)(2), they did not give us an itemized statement and allow us to make any repairs. Because we did not know what needed to be fixed, they docked almost half our deposit. DO NOT RENT FROM AIPM. read more

Very pleased with their service. They have done a good job with managing our rental and have been very responsive to us and our tenants. Very good communication. Their vendors have always done a good job. I would definitely recommend. read more

If I could give no stars I would. We applied within hours of the property being listed for rent, you have to pay the application fee in person and the property was listed on a Saturday so I went as soon as they opened Monday morning to pay our application fees Hoping that our application would be processed first. I provided Everything they needed and checked on the status of the application regularly and they always said that all applications were still being processed. We pulled out the amount we would need for the deposit so it would be ready to go, but after two weeks we still hadn't heard anything new no approval, no denial, nothing. Check the website today and the listing is gone, email to ask about it and they said someone placed a deposit this afternoon. I'm sorry what? CROOKS. I saw people say it before but hoping it wasn't true. I truly believe they pick and choose who they want to let rent instead of who actually gets approved. Don't bother with them. The last company we rented from had us approved in two days. Emailed them about why weren't even told wether or not we were approved or denied and nothing lol just racking up as many application fees as they can. read more

They are very good at what they do .I'm hard to please most of the time but they have impressed me big time I will let all my friends k ow about them read more

Unprofessional, rude, misleading, provides False information and advertisement. Application was submitted for a rental. It took them 3 WEEKS to approve it! They DO NOT return calls or emails. I emailed the owner, Shawn with my concerns he just completely ignored it. Adi was the one who was processing my application. She was very misleading, unprofessional and provided us with incorrect information. Her supervisor Melissa was unprofessional, rude and speaks down to you. I would highly advise anyone wishing to rent from them to go work with another management company. I wish we had read the previous yelp reviews before completing an application to rent. It seems like everyone else has the same complaints! This was a nightmare!! read more

Awesome group of people that work for the company and strive to do the best they can.

I just started a 1 year lease with ARM. Throughout the application and lease signing process, the staff were very helpful and friendly, making a process which can be anxiety-inducing really smooth! They are quick to respond to emails and texts. I was satisfied with the condition of my rental on move-in, and I trust that any issues I may have will be handled quickly and professionally. read more

Would not rent from here again. Left our rental cleaner than when we got it... it was dirty when we moved in. They took a lot of ur security deposit. They lost various emails we sent them and the front desk is rude if your not going there to rent initially. read more

Please do yourself a favor and read all of the reviews for this company.  I wish i had before we signed a year contract with them to 'manage' our rental home.  Eight of the reviews on their Facebook page (before they disabled/changed the page) are 1 star, twelve are 5 stars.  Two of the twelve 5 star reviews are from the owner himself, and a third is someone who was bribed as you can read for yourself in the comments. They recommended their own cleaning crew for a $600 one time fee to clean the property to prepare it for tenants.  I opted to clean it myself.  I asked them to inspect it but they waited to do so until we moved out of state and then informed us that some things were not up to their standards and we should overnight the $600 check so they could get it cleaned and rented.  I said no thank you and called around for quotes for the items they stated were not up to standards and found a company that got the job done for less than half of what they asked for.  I left them a 1 star review for several other reasons not stated here and immediately received a phone call sternly asking me to remove the review or change it to 5 stars.  Of course my doing so would be totally unjust.  I am not happy with the way things are went.  It took them more than two full months to rent the property.  During that time we had calls from neighbors informing us that the garage had been left open, and the side gate as well.  The management company even called us to inform us that somone that they had checked keys out to view the property had left the back door open and the lock on it is broke and they found trash inside and stuff in the back shower like someone had been squatting there and told us they needed money to have it cleaned again.  I told them no.  We signed a contract that they are managing the property and are responsible for securing it if they are checking out keys. Within a month of finally getting a tenant in the property they started calling us, hassling us to 'fix' all sorts of things. None of these things were an issue before because the property was inspected by them and deemed rentable.  Even more, if the 'tenant' was not happy with the property for any reason they shouldnt have signed a lease. This company made promises to the tenant to get her to sign and then made us look like the bad guys when we declined requests to make improvements to the home.  The management company recommended us to agree to the tenants terms to avoid small claims court and costs. I find this completely ridiculous.  Why did we even hire a manager?  We are paying them to tell us to bend over and take it.  Well unfortunately i am just an average joe working hard like everyone else trying to make ends meet and cannot afford to make two mortgages because some silly person signed a legal and binding agreement and willy nilly changed her mind. In short, if you are considering using this company, don't. read more

My friend recommended Shawn to me when I was looking for a good property management company. They are wonderful. They are very good at complete what tenant's request and also taking care owner's interest. I would recommend this property management for both owners and tenants alike. read more

So I applied to an apartment A MONTH AGO and I never received any email or phone calls regarding my application status. I called today to ask and I was told that my application was CANCELED because I didn't provide my SS or sign anything. First off I wanna state that I did fill out the application which has my SS number, my phone, my email and my signature so what else was I supposed to sign that they didn't tell me I needed to sign??? And when I called I was "transferred" to Adi who is in charge of processing my application AND I WAS INSTANTLY FORWARD TO VOICEMAIL. So I'm pissed off and decided to just walk into the place and ask face to face. And when I did I was told Adi is busy I can have a seat and wait it will take a while. I told them i have shit to do call me when she's available and I'll come back. Guess what? Never got a call today. When I was in there I was told "we already have approved applicants for that unit so there really is no point in trying to apply" thanks for letting me know that A MONTH AGO. Screw this place. Btw I'm forced to leave my job and move back with my parents so I'm not homeless. Hope you're proud you just screwed over a hardworking 19 year old now college dropout. read more
