Marni Allen is nothing short of astounding. She recently sold three properties for me in what is…read moreNOT a seller's market. A few specifics- 1) She's diligent. She just WORKS. All I had to do was kind of let her loose. 2) She makes it EASY. A couple of my places needed some painting and make ready. She just handled it all! She dogs down any information needed. She even visited the City for info on my behalf. 3) She is a GREAT COMMUNICATOR! THIS is where other realtors failed me. One guy even blamed me (when I fired him) for making his job hard-- but he'd never communicated this to me along the way. Marni tells you what you need to do to reach your goal. But she's not pushy and she'll work with you. 4) She's responsive-- usually within minutes. This works really well for me. When some issue or question is in front of me I'd much rather get it DONE than have to keep checking messages and emails or worse forgetting it altogether. 5) She has a deep network. She knows various vendors with good prices. She also doesn't hesitate to ask colleagues for their perspective. 6) She's fun. I could live without this for sure-- but why not ENJOY the process. We spoke very frankly and had some laughs along the way. All in the service of getting results. Real estate transactions are too important to leave with a lesser partner. Go with the best. Thank you Marni!

I really appreciate the service of YELP, and use it often. I figured what was the fastest way to simultaneously contact several realtors at once. YELP! As luck would have it a couple responded immediately. I spoke to Nicole within an hour and had an appointment for the next day to meet with her. She was prompt and prepared. We talked through my expectation and what she and her team could do for me. It seemed like a good fit. The market was just getting ready to shift downward and time was of the essence. She was able to hire a painter and a house cleaner for me. Pictures were taken and the house was on the market! Nicole Churchill and her partner Roxie Gallego were nothing short of terrific. Quick to clarify and answer questions, quick to respond. The fact that I was out of state was not an issue, the house was shown and sold. Everything went smoothly. I am very grateful for their professionalism and expertise.

Cassidy write up offers quickly and had great insight that helped us find a wonderful home. The whole team was awesome to work with. Selling and buying was not something I was expecting this year, but working with the Vanguard Group made it feel like it was always the plan and that everything went perfectly. Will definitely recommend and work with them again.

I was re/searching property management companies for my first-ever rental property. I wanted…read moresomething local but also an agency that had longevity and, of course, good reputation/reviews. I recognized early that given the sheer impossibility of satisfying all tenants, or owners, no property mgmt company is going to have higher than a 4-star average. And then I came across R.A. with a solid 4+ star average. As I read through dozens and dozens of reviews (here and other platforms), there were a couple of managers themselves who stood out. One was Laina (who turns out to be a supervisor) and the other was Irene. My first inquiries (whether to retain them, what I need to know to be a good LL, and what to watch out for) were directed to Laina as I was preliminarily curious about their management style, prerequisites, and costs. I was especially concerned about the tenant vetting and application process. Laina was extraordinary - always easy to reach and never rushed me in my relentlessly probing questions. I was impressed by the guarantees and the no-commitment promise that RA stands by as well (that's confidence!). Once I had finally settled on RA to manage the house I had purchased I was fortunate to be assigned to Irene. She is meticulous, punctual, responsive, demanding, patient, persistent, and somehow still manages to accomplish all that with good nature. I wouldn't want anyone possessing less than every one of those standards to be responsible for supervising my home. She is also accessible by direct texting and email and has always responded within hours if not minutes. When I thought my house was ready to be listed Irene stopped by to lend her critical eye. I kid you not, she found 15-18 things that needed fixing, cleaning, removing, painting, or installing. And fair warning, many of those issues are deal-breakers for RA (refusing to publish my rental until they were fixed). However, their high operational standards translate into presentability. It took me, plus a hired handyman, almost 2 weeks working every evening and wknd to get the entire list finished... and it made a world of difference. It's remarkable what "you can live with" vs what is appropriately marketable. R.A. was running a summer retainer special of $599 that included all of the above and also professional photos for the listing - on par with the industry. The $99 flat fee/month for management was another selling point. There are a couple of companies that will manage for slightly less (e.g., $75/mo) and a couple that charge a flat 10% per month no matter how high the rental price is (which is ab$urd). RA's costs include two random inspections/year, the dreaded eviction scenario, and it places them between you and the tenant as the primary contact for all things - from complaints, to rent, to repairs. Once you've hired RA, you'll get a monthly newsletter and occasional articles about being a "landlord" and about market conditions in your metro area. They are loaded with helpful tidbits and illuminating graphics. Note: rent is typically due from the tenants on the first of the month but the transfer to your bank account will occur on the 10th or 11th of the month so digure how to float your mrtg payments accordingly. There is a bricks/mortar location just north of Campbell/Ft. Lowell and that was also important to me - to lend legitimacy to the company. It is modest, with basically a front desk and small office but it's staffed by a receptionist M-F from whom you can get sample documents and preliminary questions answered too. At the end of the day, property management is 30% fees/costs and 70% skilled diplomacy -- between owner/Mgmt and between tenant/Mgmt. You need to have those relationships working smoothly, precisely because of the inherent friction points that they so easily generate. In Laina and Irene RA's mgmt team does a tremendous job navigating each.

Specifically, Lemonie has been great to work with. She's very responsive, easy to communicate with, and does a great job finding tenants quickly. This past year has been especially difficult with storm damage and having to replace a roof during monsoon season. Since I'm out of town for work, I was worried about how everything would get handled, but Lemonie really stepped up. She coordinated with multiple contractors, stayed in contact with my tenants, and handled everything professionally. She made what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier for me. I really appreciate having someone I can trust to take care of my properties when I'm not there. Thank you, Lemonie, for everything you do for me and my tenants!

On our first, exploratory, trip (simply to explore our options before an "official" house-hunting trip), Gabrielle invested two full days and shared her immense knowledge of local real estate with us. I can't believe how much time and help she provided at that early stage, when we told her we weren't going to be making a purchase that trip. Then, several weeks later after we had our current home under a sales contract, we called Gabrielle on short notice, said we were flying back to Tucson in two days, asked if it would be possible for her to set up appointments to look at 20 or more homes? She somehow did it, helped us find a home that we are thrilled with, and continued to work hard through negotiations and escrow. She's still working hard as we approach close of escrow, and is helping us line up contractors to do a few things to the new house. This is our sixth home purchase in a little over 3 decades, and Gabrielle is the most impressive and helpful realtor we've ever worked with.
