I am a property owner (landlord) with my properties located in Grays Harbor County and the first…read moreproperty management company I did business with was Burkhamer Property Services with Sandra Burkhamer overseeing all of my buildings and units. Incredibly rude person who wouldn't listen to a word I had to say and always got the rent appraisals wrong usually way to low and would not allow owners to raise rents even if way below market value. Also never did any inspections and never found any of the problems that were occurring, I would make a trip down from Seattle where I live and be shocked at all of the things wrong that needed attention and should have been discovered a long time ago but weren't. I heard from maintenance people that worked for her and from real estate agents that she had a huge number of property owner clients that quit and went elsewhere. She passed away in January 2025 however I don't believe the current business is any better. If you are a property owner looking to rent out a building of some sort I recommend Home Sweet Home property management on Simpson which does what I would consider a pretty good job. If you haven't bought a building yet and planning on getting into rentals think twice, it is not very profitable and the Democratic Party along with other left wing groups are making owning a rental property nearly impossible, best stay with the stock market and save yourself a great deal of trouble.

Lived in a duplex for ten months. Kept it super clean. I had constant issues from neighbors that I…read morewas expected just to put up with (noise, mess, garbage, rotating through new teenage missionaries every few weeks--seriously--who would proselytize to me while I was just trying to go to work), and no resolution at all. I was told it was basically my fault if they were bad tenants, because I wasn't tattling on the teen boys often enough. Then, when I moved out, I cleaned FOR DAYS. They checked every window track and drawer. Told me there was "nothing more they could ask" and that they could tell how hard I worked. Then, they called me two days after I turned over the keys to say the building smelled of cigarette smoke and the kitchen floor needed waxing (they literally prohibit tenants from waxing floors), so they're keeping my $1350 deposit. Every review warned me that they would invent reasons to keep my deposit, but telling me I didn't keep the kitchen floor "move-in ready" by using it, and that they had to wax it, then claiming it smelled like cigarettes, days after I moved out?!?!?! Wow. I didn't want to believe they would be this blatantly unethical and money grubbing, but they are.

Cost was comparable to other estimates. Aside from the concrete itself, there are several problems. The biggest is that the new driveway is not at the level of the old one. It's a platform - 4" above ground level on one side and 8" above on the side towards the house. A danger and a liability, to say nothing of a several hundred dollar project now required to install steps and make the sides less hazardous and unattractive (Fontaine put some rock in along the sides when I complained, but it is ugly and needs additional work if it's to be permanent). I would have appreciated being informed beforehand, especially since I am 71 and have mobility issues - I did not need more steps. Ask lots of questions! They were also very hard on the surrounding vegetation, in spite of things we discussed beforehand, including an adjacent flower bed of my neighbors. They broke a large area out of a hydrangea, left small chunks of concrete and areas of concrete dust in my yard, apparently cleaned tools onto my parking strip leaving another little pile of concrete, and it appears they dumped some slurry down the storm drain (I bet that's illegal). They did not wear masks, even tho they are now a legal requirement.
