They have repeatedly delayed my closing going on three weeks now with no end in sight. Communication is atrocious, updates are non-existent, and their process is flawed.

I used this company back in 2019, but recently it got brought up and I realized I never left my…read morereview. This company was hard to communicate on a good day and once things went sideways they were a nightmare to deal with. The "handyman" they used to perform repairs on my house was so bad once I terminated my service with San Diego Premier Property Management, I had to get a home inspection to determine everything that was wrong. From doing a lousy paint job, to using air piping on the garage water lines causing corrosion very quickly, to using PVC piping not rated for high pressure on the outlet of my pool pump there isn't much positive to say. I will say SDPPM is loyal to their handyman though, and stood behind him once I found out and showed them the facts. The most egregious issue was the replacing the water heater not to code, then after my home inspection I instructed them not to go back to the property to fix it, since I wouldn't know if the fix was correct or not and didn't want to have to get a 2nd inspection. SDPPM let the handyman back on site to "fix" what he did wrong anyways, only to not do it correctly a 2nd time. All of this was only discovered once I found the cell number of my tenants and reached out to them regarding some inconsistencies SDPPM was telling me, and then the whole thing started to come undone. All in all, there are lots of property management companies, and if you want to avoid a headache. Do not use San Diego Premier Property Management, and avoid Salvatore. Although this was quite a while ago that this affected me, based off the other reviews it seems like they are still doing the same thing.

Donna and Erica came through keeping us on time, and on task, answering all questions we had with paperwork, and understanding the process. They were patient with my friend who had to juggle the house sale as well as separate legal matters which slowed the escrow process down but this great team kept things rolling in the right direction. When all was said and done, the house closed on time and without delay. Thank you Janice and your exceptional team of Donn, Erica and everyone else behind the scenes, to include the notary services of Blake Crowell getting things notarized quickly and accurately.

Before considering this escrow company, be aware there's a government action alert from the…read moreCalifornia Department of Business Oversight stating that this escrow company has allegedly violated several California laws, see attached screenshot and the BBB link below. With this said, and from the 1 star reviews plus our personal experience, I believe most of the 5 star reviews here are from individuals that have conflict of interest (mostly investors and real estate agents). As everyone else has stated, Donia is not communicative and does not follow up with your case. She does not return phone calls or e-mails in a timely matter unless you're extremely persistent about it. The first red flag appeared when we noticed our closing cost was more than the final estimate she provided (seems like they were trying to sneak it past us by not mentioning it). After we asked about it, She stated that it was just a "cushion" in case they go over and most of the time it would be returned. That "cushion" was never returned and when we called to ask about it, she claimed that it was mostly spent on other items. Items that were not revealed or clarified. After looking more thoroughly at our closing documents, we also noticed several exorbitant fees that made no sense (i.e. "e-mail doc fee" for $100). At the very least, they could have updated us and explained to us where these fees are going. As another reviewer pointed out, our HOA company did not received the payments that we already paid Donia for - causing us to be late for account establishment and future payments. The HOA didn't even know we existed since Donia didn't bother reaching out to them. She stated that she did, but I doubt it since I was able to easily contact the HOA without any problems. If I hadn't initiated a conversation with the HOA in time, then we would have been charged months' worth of late fees. Here's the kicker, even after I told Donia that the HOA has not received payment, she assured us she would re-issue payment and e-mail them that day. But of course she didn't until I followed up AGAIN (twice in fact) a week later. A legitimate escrow officer should ensure that all checks and accounts have been cleared and completed before closing the buyer's file. Clearly this was not the case. If you go with this escrow company, you will need to do Donia's work for her by initiating and following up with every source that requires payment. Make sure everything is documented in writing because what she says on the phone does not reflect the actions that have been taken (or not taken in most cases).

We had a horrible experience with Chad Dannecker and his office, and absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND you go through them for anything. Chad is unprofessional, dishonest, and injects his abrasive personality and insecurities into situations where they do not belong. First off: We worked with Realtor Stacy Otto, and she was wonderful - I recommend her without reservation. She helped us find our new place, and was available, personable, and professional. She is an independent realtor, and only sometimes works with Chad's office - as long as you're not looking at one of Chad's listings, I recommend you go through her! BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: We agreed to all the terms of the contract with the owner, but Chad refused to make corrections that all parties had agreed to. He then LIED to us and to the owner, telling us that our verbal agreement served as an addendum to the contract, and we didn't need to put it in writing. Not true, Chad. It's not Chad's business what's in the contract; his job is merely to broker the deal. Chad's attitude screams, "I can't be bothered with this; it's not worth my valuable time." Well, Chad, if you can't be bothered with the details of our deal, why should anyone else trust you with the details of their interests? I hope that after reading this, potential clients will save themselves the headache and seek their real estate expertise elsewhere. DETAILS: After Stacy helped us find the perfect place, she negotiated terms with the owner, and we arrived at an agreement. Chad was the listing agent for the property, so we had to go through him for the signing. His assistant, Lauryn, prepared the contract, and I asked her to correct one clause which was missing some key language - a change that the owner had already agreed to - which was the only remaining issue, and that we would sign the contract the moment it was updated. There followed several emails back and forth between me and Lauryn, in which she tried to convince me that I didn't need to have the contract updated, as the owner and I had already verbally agreed to these terms. I pointed out to her the paragraph in the contract that specifically states that any prior agreements between parties that are not explicitly included in the contract are null and void. I got an email directly from Chad, which read: "Take it or leave it. [Owner] gave his word, if you don't think it means anything then it's probably not a good fit." Further down the email, I saw that Lauryn commented to Chad "This guy..." referring to me. She was probably a bit frustrated at me asking her to DO HER JOB and update the contract - I can't understand the lack of professionalism that caused Chad to include her rude comment in correspondence with me. I called the owner to ensure that we were all on the same page; he said he'd agreed to the change, and he asked me to have Chad update the contract. I contacted Chad's office (through Stacy, who remained professional and helpful) to direct them to make the change that BOTH PARTIES AGREED TO, and I received a response that Chad refused to make the correction. Apparently, Chad's reluctance to make the change was because he couldn't be troubled to "waste any more of his valuable time" making corrections to contracts. He's just too good to be bothered with such mundane issues, it seems. Chad then convinced the owner that 1) the change didn't need to be made, as our verbal agreement was sufficient, and 2) if I'm the sort of person who's so insistent about small details, then I'm likely not the sort of person they should deal with in the first place. ON THE FIRST POINT, CHAD LIED. According to the contract, "All understandings between the parties are incorporated in this Agreement. Its terms are intended by the parties as a final, complete and exclusive expression of their Agreement with respect to its subject matter, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement or contemporaneous oral agreement." In English, this means that any agreement not specifically written into the contract DOES NOT EXIST. Chad's statement that our oral agreement to the terms is sufficient, is a plain-out lie. On the second point, CHAD'S UNPROFESSIONALISM IS A HANDICAP TO HIS BUSINESS. His job is to connect two parties of real estate transactions, and to smooth over any differences they may have, in order to facilitate a deal. Chad did the opposite. He had two parties who agreed to all terms of the contract - all Chad had to do was make the requested changes (which would take about five minutes of his assistant's time) and collect his commission. Instead, his ego (and his inability to admit that he was initially wrong) derailed an agreement between two reasonable parties. AVOID DEALING WITH CHAD DANNECKER. He's just not worth the trouble.
