Big shout out to Balboa Realty! Thank you for setting up a vacation property for my family when they came to visit. From booking to checkout everything was seamless. Great website to search availability and personal service when needed. Thanks guys, will definitely use your business again! read more

Horrible enough to leave my first negative review in yelp. My realtor Alex screamed at me and starting interrogating me after I asked the basic question of the lease termination policy in case something unforseable happens for an apartment that I was about to sign on that day, and I was already approved for. Good thing I didn't because right after that he cancelled my application. So if you like being treated baldy and having your application fee stolen by a scam company that doesn't actually have the rental for you, this is for you. Funnily enough another bad review mentioned Alex and the response said we have no Alex that works here. read more

Leased as a tenant with Balboa Realty for years and they were great. Brandon and team really went above and beyond with anything we needed.

AVOID AVOID AVOID BUYER BEWARE top to bottom: This company has no idea what they are doing. They are here simply to collect a paycheck and do as little work as possible. This company avoids doing everything they are supposed to do and they will inevitably point their finger at different departments despite being a small business and then will eventually point their finger at you and it will be your fault for trusting them. The owner Alex behaves like an overgrown manchild that has not outgrown his party days at Isla Vista and started this company with one goal: Collect paycheck and avoid work. His team follows his poor example and avoids communication and tasks at all costs. If you are looking for someone to manage your property because you do not know what you are doing: I assure you that you know more than them. read more

STAY AWAY. P Tanner sent 15 inspectors to my house unannounced!!! all day long i had people bothering us ringing the doorbell and just going up on my roof! it was insane, this P Tanner idiot should not be a realtor. We did not feel safe in our own home. This guy is an absolute idiot and should not be trusted. How much damage happened to my roof with 6 people unexpectedly going up on my roof and moving things around. AVOID THIS JERK! read more

I had an excellent experience with Balboa as the property manager for my rental. They took prompt care of issues and were always easy to work with and follow up. They provided good communication on service issues and for lease renewals. I primarily dealt with Brandon and sometimes Artie--both of them always helpful and prompt. read more

Not trustworthy people to rent from. I got my rental house in a bad condition. Dust, mold, hole in the ground in the kitchen. They are not communicative. I left this home in better condition then I got it and they have not been timely with returning my deposit. read more

Leases my house in two weeks. Great service - Harmony was always available and has great follow through. Thanks! read more

Highly recommend Balboa Realty! They have handled our rental for the past two years now and made the process easy and straightforward. Aaron and his team are quick to answer, friendly, and trustworthy. We always felt like we were in good hands. Overall, phenomenal company to work with. read more

Working with Artie at Balboa Realty made renting quick and easy. I was in a time crunch and he made it all happen quick and easy. Having the most updated technology to sign lease and send paperwork eliminated the driving back an forth. Highly responsive and any issue/questions major or minor Artie was on it. Multiple options with properties and all up to date and clean. Probably the most quality in Newport Beach and Peninsula. Thanks Again Artie, for making my moving transitions seamless and easy. I have also referred multiple co-workers and acquaintances to utilize Balboa Realty! read more

Artie at Balboa Realty is a dream to work with. From the time I met with Artie to look at the condo for the first time, to the day I moved out, he made every transition go smoothly. Renting a place from Balboa Realty was also convenient because they processed all paperwork online and had a system to make the lease payments online as well. Communication was always clear and easy with the company. If I had any issue the team would respond quickly and work to address any problems quickly. I would highly recommend working with Artie and the team at Balboa Realty for any leasing or buying needs. Even though I no longer lease from Balboa Realty, I have kept Artie's info for any future needs. Thank you! read more

I had such a wonderful experience today with Balboa Realty. I have lived on the Newport Peninsula for a long time and I don't think I have come across a better management team. They were quick to respond to my tenant issue and I could not have asked for a better person to help me out than Daniel. He is so nice and professional and went above and beyond to help me out today. It is so appreciated. Thank you so much. read more

My uncle was bringing his whole family out from back east for summer vacation this last year. I referred him to the team at Balboa Realty to find a vacation rental on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, CA. Everyone at Balboa Realty was attentive, asked many questions to determine what they were looking for and followed through to find a great house to accommodate a big family and many kiddos. My uncle had been looking around on VRBO and the house that Balboa Realty placed them in was bigger, nicer, and closer to the beach than anything they found. They had such a good experience that they immediately booked again with for the following summer. Balboa Realty knows this market and offers next level service. Highly recommend! read more

I have been dealing with one of the Principals, Artie Dorr, for almost a year as Balboa took over the management of the rental property I was living in. First, they have a great online portal which makes it easy to pay rent and to submit any maintenance requests. Artie and team have been very responsive to phone calls, texts, emails and portal requests. And on top of all that, Artie is just a super approachable, professional and nice guy! read more

Overall every conversation attempt with this realtor was met wit one excuse after another then it switched to blame pleading and finally sarcastically excusing the rude unprofessional barrage of replies Beware of the overhead egos in this case. Need an ice bucket to get the head through the door to any home they show. Which is none. Then the referral I asked for as a solution or any help sent me on an obviously inappropriate business that was a wild goose chase. They obviously have become so attached to the outcome they have forgotten the most important things are not how you look online but THE CUSTOMER. and knowing how to help. Education is the best part of being professional. Please take care in how you choose a Realtor. The good ones are hard to find. So much mediocrity in this world. read more

I'm in Awh with this man! I messaged him seeking help for properties - and although I was not in his jurisdiction that he served he still had the kindness in his heart to point me in the right direction! He was kind and respectful - also very helpful and I seriously wished I could of given him my business - I thank you for your helpful advice on where to go and what to do with my situation even if you knew I wasn't going to be a potential lead of yours. I greatly appreciate you. This is a man who wants to help, and simply by his help I know he cares and wants to help whomever he crosses paths with. 10 stars for u!!! read more

I recently had the opportunity to work with Balboa Realty to find a new Southern California office for my start-up company. We had very specific requirements about location, warehouse size, and office square footage. Our agent found several options that suited our needs, showed us multiple properties, and helped us negotiate a great lease for the space we wanted. We are thrilled to be in our new office and thank Balboa Realty for meeting our needs and exceeding our expectations. read more

My husband and I rented a beachfront place from Balboa Realty. This management company was very easy to work with. Aaron who works there found us exactly what we were looking for. He was also just a phone call away if we needed anything. Beautiful sunsets and stunning panoramic views was what he delivered. My favorite thing about the rental was enjoying a glass of wine and looking out ocean-view windows. We took pleasure in not having to wander too far from home for beach FUN. Around Newport pier you have dinning, shopping, the fun zone, bike rentals, fishing, whale watching, you name it! We also loved being able to hop on a Duffy and go to dinner on Balboa Island. Overall best beach rental experience ever!! We were super happy with the location and I highly recommend Balboa Realty to anyone looking for spectacular beach living. read more

Balboa Realty - Real Estate Services Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Moving from Colorado back to California, we had an out of the ordinary situation. Ms. Harmony Sparks was fantastic in the personal service she gave us in a property rental. We were not just a name and number to her, although dealing with her long distance. We could not have asked for better service from her and Balboa Realty. All the folks there I have talked to have been incredibly helpful. This is service not seen in this day and age. Extremely highly recommended. read more

We needed a short term rental to be near elderly parents and walked into Balboa Realty. They found us the perfect place and we ended up staying over four years. They even found us a place where we could bring our dogs! Alex, Aaron and Artie are like having really great friends who just happen to be in the real estate business. We ended up doing a long term rental with them but they do vacation rentals and sales too.They are all local guys who grew up in the area and they know their business. They were always super helpful and immediately responsive with any requests for maintenance. We have moved several times for work and personal reasons over the past 10 years and used several different agencies to either buy, sell or rent. Nothing has compared to the personal service we got at Balboa Realty. read more

My roommates and I moved into a Balboa Realty property back in August. They made the renting process super easy and quick. They really helped us with everything we needed to do to move into our awesome beach house. Also, with the few minor issues we've had they have been really quick to help us out and fix the problems. I know I am trying to always rent with them from now on. If you get to work with Artie you won't have any problems at all. Artie is the man! Thanks again with all of your help. read more
