2026 -- Management has hit a new low. It was never great,…read morebut previous teams were at least responsive. The current team is disorganized, inconsistent, and careless with resident safety. The car fob has been replaced with a large transparent sticker (approximately 5 × 1 inches, with bold silver and black text) that residents are required to place on the headlight. This is a questionable and unsafe instruction. Under California vehicle requirements, headlights must remain clearly visible, maintain their required white color, and not be modified in a way that affects performance. A sticker of this size--especially with reflective silver elements and patterned lines--can scatter light, create glare, reduce brightness, and distort the beam pattern. This may be interpreted as a modification of the lighting system and could place residents at risk of non-compliance. The previous interior tag option, used for years, has been removed, leaving only exterior placement. This forces residents into using a safety-critical vehicle component for identification purposes without a non-damaging alternative. Beyond regulatory concerns, adhesive on headlights can leave residue, cause surface marking, or damage the lens over time. It is also visually intrusive, disrupting the clean design of the vehicle. The sticker functions as an external ID key linked to a resident unit, raising both practical and safety concerns when applied to a vehicle. From a technical standpoint, headlights are engineered with precise optics, and even minor obstructions--particularly reflective or patterned materials--can affect light distribution and visibility. This is not an appropriate application for a lighting component. Under California vehicle equipment standards, lighting systems must remain unobstructed and fully functional without alterations that impact visibility or performance. This raises a basic question of judgment: why require residents to place an external identifier on a safety-critical vehicle component instead of using a non-damaging interior tag as previously implemented? If a ticket is issued, it is legally the driver's responsibility, even if the requirement came from property management. If a sticker on the headlight is deemed to obstruct or alter the light by an officer, the driver--not the property manager--is held accountable. In that case, the fine is paid by the vehicle owner/driver. From a safety and operational standpoint, this approach appears poorly considered. Repeated Management Issues Alarm replacement was scheduled, residents waited all day, then it was canceled last minute. Residents were asked to clear balconies for inspection, but staff only came to replace an AC filter. Maintenance tasks are split across multiple days with poor coordination. Key fob pickup is no longer delivered and requires in-person pickup during limited office hours that don't match working schedules. This reflects not only poor organization, but poor judgment in execution. Replacing a long-standing interior tag system (used for over 16 years) with a low-cost exterior sticker prioritizes administrative convenience over resident safety and vehicle care.

We have worked with Stephanie Young and her real estate group twice for the sale and purchase of our homes. She and her entire team have always provided us with the highest level of service! She was always available for all our questions, working with us to prepare our property for sale and showing us many homes on our journey to find the best location to live to meet our family needs. Stephanie worked diligently to get our houses sold for a price over asking and negotiated a great price on our new homes. We truly felt like part of her family as she quickly handled our requests and offered invaluable information and solutions to resolve any issues that came up. Her positive attitude and endless energy were unwavering! While handling multiple clients and projects, she always prioritizes you!

I've worked with 3 realtors on both the buy and sell side in the past, and none can compare to the personal service, knowledge and experience Steph brings to the table. She was extremely attentive and responsive in helping us negotiate our offer that was ultimately accepted. Steph guided us not only to our dream home but helped us walk away from a home that would've been a huge mistake for us (and we're thankful everyday for this). Steph also went above and beyond by connecting us with top tier professionals who she has vetted herself, including loan officer, insurance agent, inspector, painter and carpet installer. There was never a doubt when it came to Steph and her referrals. It was truly an enjoyable and seamless home buying experience. Thanks Steph

Bridgit Ryan is the (wo)man!! We had a tricky commercial/residential property listed with a…read moredifferent realtor (who was a really 'nice guy'...) last summer for about 6 months, and in that time we only ever got lowball offers or excuses as to why there was little interest in the property "it's the interest rates" ... "it's a tough market"..."financing for this type of property is difficult"...blah blah blah. SoCal real estate was/is RED HOT and we knew it...so, after flushing that other realtor, we hired Bridgit because I sensed she was a 'killer' and would do a much better job. Within a week of giving her the listing, we received MULTIPLE offers extremely close to our (aggressive) asking price and we closed within about 2 weeks. She is highly organized and seems to have a deep knowledge of the Long Beach real estate landscape. She underpromised and over delivered. When our buyer tried to play some last minute games with us over credits and other things, Bridgit stepped right in and squashed it like a steam roller. I 'pity the fool' that has to negotiate against her. Seriously, if you're looking for a sellers agent who is extremely reasonable in terms of her fee with excellent service and expediency to match, look no further than Bridgit. I'd hire her again in a second! Thank you Bridgit! -Chris & Melinda
