    I've been a renter for the past 3 yrs for one of Up Property Management's rental homes in Irvine…read more Chris and Leonard have been outstanding from the start and they have always been professional, responsive, and have gone out of their way to make sure any repairs are addressed immediately and fixed properly. I've been a tenant at many different properties all across Southern and Northern CA over the years and I can say with confidence that Up Property Management is THE best of the bunch. Highly recommend using them!

    One of the most frustrating rental experiences I've had, largely due to how this was handled by…read moremanagement, specifically Christopher and David. The unit was listed at $4,200. We initially explored pricing and ultimately submitted a paid application for $4,000, not $3,800 as they later claimed in their response. We have email proof confirming this. We were also told there could be flexibility around $4,100 if we had strong documentation, which we did. Based on that, we were encouraged to apply, pay fees, and submit everything. After doing all of that, there was no real movement or consideration. What made this worse was their response, which included inaccurate statements about us "lowballing" and "going behind our agent." That is simply not true. We were fully transparent with our agent the entire time, and she can confirm that. We also have texts supporting it. Nothing was hidden or "found out" later. Instead of focusing on a reasonable $100 difference that could have easily made both parties happy, they chose to argue and escalate things publicly through responses rather than work toward a solution. That says a lot about their priorities. The bigger issue here is the lack of transparency. If the price was always firm at $4,200, that should have been clearly stated upfront. Instead, we were led to believe there was flexibility, only to find out after paying application fees that there wasn't. The communication throughout felt dismissive and unprofessional, and their response only reinforced that. My advice to anyone considering renting through them: be cautious before paying any application fees, and make sure any statements about pricing flexibility are clearly confirmed in writing. Based on this experience, I would not recommend working with this team.

    I am an owner and I deal with a lot of property managers. If I can use 3 words to describe…read moreprogressive property management, I would use "drag", "ghost" and "cheating". Unitiey and Cecilia are the two leasing managers I worked with and they suck. I'm risking my payout by writing this. I still have not got a penny from ppm after a week the cashier's check was deposited to ppm's account. Unitiey did great photos and great listing description and hosted 2 open houses and was able to locate a tenant for me within 3 weeks. I acknowledge her effort and give her credits for great marketing skills, but I scold her for missing most important point of being an owner's representative. She 1st didn't send out an inspection report before releasing keys. And I was told she would send out on 2 days before moving in. 2nd she released keys without my approval and without a renter's insurance policy in place, which were all agreed upon in lease. 3rd she omitted checking the interior of appliances and omitted dirty and unclean conditions of the fridge and then later on after moving in told owner it's "damages" in her inspection report sent 5 days after moving in .this is ethical issue more than breach of fudiciary duty. If she knew the issue, whyndid she release the keys unauthorizedly? if she omitted the issue, why did she use tenant's provided photo in her report. She is literally cheating on her inspection report. During the process, she asked me to reduce price because people is withdrawing their application, and 20 minutes after i said fine, let's reduce price, she told me ok, we have an application. She literally withhold that application information to push me for price reduction. When i confronted her boss about this, her boss explained that those 2 candidates didn't meet my qualifications requirements because I prefer dual income and no pet. I 'm like, they have 680 plus scores and have 3x income and they have enough qualifications and visited open houses. they are way better than the recommendation she made which had 2 collections and 634 fico. She even missed 1 collections from this candidate and she calls thos 680 plus one not "qualified " ? Cecilia's story is simple. she is a ghosting expert. Last week, because of unitiey's ommition of the fridge condition, tenants wanted to have a replacement fridge. So i drafted the fridge addendum and asked tennats to sign. One signed last week and the other one hasn't. I constantly asked her to remind tenants to sign promptly so we can move forward with an agreement and tenants can have the new fridge. From friday to today, no response from cecilia and my movers showed up at the door and wanted to have access. called her texted her and again, no response. had to call her office front desk to get connected to her and again she said she doesn't know about the signatures. I had to drop by and we heard water is running inside of the home, side gate was open, and water meter was running and had to text her and advised her this is an emergency situation. we got in after notifying her. and she then texted me I didn't give her 24 hour notice. Come on, imhave been asking for approval since last friday and she ghosted me like forever . i am done with progressive. btw, when you have minor issues and you need help. the entire office was just silent and owner would ghost you as well. Deven was the only one that can actually get things done and tried to help. he had to jump in to draft the lease and unitiey and cecilia would play ghosting whenever i really needed help. I mean, tenants are great qualified tenants and what they asked are reasonable and understandable. they were filtered off by progressive and I basically did all the screening myself because progressive failed to do their job. Btw, progressive sent me termination notices after their own omissions on inspection. I said fine, I'm gonna terminate you and are you open to do it by end of this month? deven said fine on the phone. When i actually switched the pm, cecilia said you didn't give me proper notice. I'm like, what the ?!! you terminated me and now you are complaining i didn't notice you..

    I am a tenant and have rented a property managed by progressive and Greg for almost 8 years and I…read morehave to say that they are the most professional honest and fair property management companies out there for both their landlords and tenants. Greg has responded to all of my service calls and always resolved the situation. I have already referred few friends there and If I ever own an investment property, I would have no hesitation hiring him to manage it. I highly recommend progressive and Greg Nowling for both landlord and tenants .

    As a handyman and plumbing vendor for Progressive Management Company for more than three years, I…read morehave had nothing but positive experiences in every aspect of our working relationship. I would especially like to recognize Jeff Kontorovsky. He is diligent, honest, and exceptionally knowledgeable in all aspects of property management. Jeff consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that issues are resolved promptly and professionally for both property owners and tenants. He is responsive, organized, and genuinely committed to providing outstanding service. His professionalism, integrity, and dedication make him a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional property manager. To property owners: Progressive Management Company is, without a doubt, one of the most reliable and honest property management companies I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As a vendor who has worked closely with their team for over three years, I have seen firsthand their commitment to professionalism, transparency, and excellent customer service. I highly recommend Progressive Management Company to anyone looking for a trustworthy partner to manage their current investment properties or future real estate ventures.

    To be fair, my property manager (Jason Gasca) is a very nice person and means well…read more However, when confronted with a difficult tenant (like mine), he and Progressive fell far short on resolving issues and returning my calls and texts. These are the times that you need strong representation, which I did not receive. My property was rented below market value. When I increased the rent in Oct 2025, the renters refused to pay it through the end of his stay in February 2026. Jason and Progressive did nothing to resolve this issue and I never received the additional rent. The tenant short paid his last month by $4000 and stated that his security deposit would be used for the balance. Clearly, this is not what the security deposit is for. Again, Jason did nothing to address this issue, which was in violation of the contract. The tenant told Jason that the house was clean and undamaged. He requested that Jason meet him to walk the property but Jason did not show up. Jason said that he visited the house later and that it was clean and in great condition, other than some worn carpet areas. Nothing could be further from the truth. I had damaged wood floors, a large hole in one room's wall that had been poorly patched, the stove was dirty, the microwave controls were broken, and most of the carpet was permanently stained. All this damage costs me several thousand dollars to repair. Again, Jason did nothing to address this issue. I received clear evidence that the tenant was subletting rooms in my house. To this day, I still receive their mail. I showed Jason proof of this contract violation and he did nothing other than asking the tenant, who of course denied it. Jason never investigated it further. When I did have issues, Jason did not respond to my texts and calls for weeks. He only responded after repeated attempts. Given all this, I would never recommend Jason or Progressive to anyone.

    Review for Cambridge Apartments - Management Only…read more I moved into Cambridge Apartments in July. While the maintenance staff has consistently been prompt, respectful, and effective, the management experience has been extremely poor and disorganized. When I first moved in, the on-site manager at the time was difficult but at least communicative. However, she was frequently late, left early, and was often absent for days at a time. Despite being barely present, my car was towed for expired tags the day after I moved in, even though I had informed her I was in the process of resolving the issue and parked exactly where she instructed me to. After that, there were multiple temporary managers who rotated through the office and never seemed to last long. A few months later, Raeseanna Lightner became the property manager, and since then the situation has significantly worsened. I've seen a noticeable number of tenants move out since her arrival, and I now understand why. Communication from her is essentially nonexistent. Phone calls are not returned, emails go unanswered, and tenants are not notified of issues unless absolutely forced. Basic communication seems to be avoided altogether. Here is the situation that led to my eviction notice: In October, I informed Raeseanna on the 2nd of the month that my rent would be late and that I would pay as soon as possible. She informed me I would receive a late notice, which I understood. After receiving the notice, I went to the office that Friday and told her I had the funds and would be making the online payment that evening. She told me not to worry and that I had until the next day. I completed the payment that night. I saw her again shortly after, and she said nothing to indicate there was an issue. I had no reason to believe the payment did not go through. On November 25, I came home from work and my son handed me a letter he found under our doormat -- it was an eviction notice. The following day, I went to the office and spoke with Raeseanna. I asked why I was never contacted by phone, email, or in person when she had seen me previously. Her response was that it was "not her job" and that I should email the generic property management email -- an email address she herself has access to. I sent the email immediately. What is concerning is that the email was never forwarded, escalated, or responded to. When I requested proof of escalation or contact information for someone above her, none was provided. There was no CC, no forwarding record, and no response. This is especially frustrating because in the past, when online payments didn't process correctly, previous front office staff contacted me immediately, and I came in and resolved the issue without incident. The online portal is still relatively new here and has had problems before. This eviction could have been completely avoided with a single phone call or email. If you live here or are considering moving in: Maintenance is great Management is disorganized, unresponsive, and unwilling to communicate Tenants deserve basic professionalism and transparency -- especially when housing is on the line.
