David has been our property manager for over 4 years, and he's been professional, efficient, and…read moreresponsive. To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

David doesn't ignore hard problems but will take care of them right away. These problems were ignored for years by my previous property manager (also full-priced 10% but not half as worth the price). When faced with tricky situations, David will try to find the best solution for the landlord. Windermere seems to be doing a very professional job and I hope they can remain excellent always!

Working with Maple Leaf has been a pleasure, particularly thanks to our property manager Katie!…read more From the start, Katie's eye for quality and completeness was very helpful in getting the home in great shape. She unfailingly followed up and kept track of every detail and project, coordinating across multiple contractors and the wrap-up and move out we were doing.

Katie kept everything on track, and went above and beyond with a day packed with tours. Maple Leaf and Katie's professionalism and care really shine through - would recommend working with them!

I rented with Bonavista for almost two years, and it was overall fine. Mostly kept up the property…read more Communication, so-so. That is until upon move out they decided to pull the play the 'not entitled to get your security deposit back' game so now I have to take further action by serving them. Do they have cause to keep my deposit? No. In the lease, it specifically says that deposit may only be kept if the apartment is not left in the condition, it was before my tenancy. It was in fact left in that condition and I have before move-in and move out pictures showing this. They also claim that the deposit can be withheld for unpaid utilities. That's fine, but the funny thing is I never got any billing after I moved out for these utilities until months later, otherwise there'd be no need for them to do that. Now their integrity is shot and is clearly greed as they likely smile about it in their response emails to me. They're counting on me (and you) not pressing forward with the retaining of security deposits. Prove them wrong. You may avoid this by not renting from them. I do not recommend Bonavista Management, if you choose them. Be content with them keeping your deposit.

And they are still the worst landlord that I have ever dealt with. Believe all of the bad reviews. I do not know any of the other individuals, but their reviews reflect my own experiences with Walls Property Management. In addition to many other bad experiences with this company, they are currently trying to charge me $372.43 for a maintenance call that took less than 5 minutes--all the technician did was reset a button on the stove fan hood. No damages on my part, and no parts or materials required. In addition, every neighbor that I have met have recounted their own bad experiences with Walls Property Management. If you choose to rent through this company, be prepared to defend your tenants' rights, because they have no compunction with ignoring tenants' concerns, selectively enforcing the lease, and violating tenants' rights.

*LONG POST* Walls…read moreProperty Management is THE WORST. I moved into my current residence in September 2023 and about a month in, I realized there was a SERIOUS leak coming from the living room window every time it rained. It would pour down the window, onto the sill and then pool at the floor if I did not put towels down. I immediately contacted maintenance for support and even expressed that new windows would be needed in my whole unit! The conditions are below what anyone should be dealing with. Let me tell you, that I have STILL not had the issue completely fixed more than a year later, even though I have called maintenance several times as well as management only to be given the run-around. Even when maintenance workers came out and claimed they fixed the leak, it still was never fully fixed. Fast forward to this year: In October - November 2024 maintenance workers came and ripped out part of my ceiling above my window to try and see where this leak was coming from exactly. While I was happy to see this moving in the right direction, they never patched it back up because they were "waiting for the wood to dry"... well it's December now and the rain is gonna keep coming! Soooo I just have this hole in my ceiling. At the same time, I finally saw some slight progress being made of a windows person coming to take measurements for new windows. But as of the beginning of December 2024, the owner of the building decided to change management groups. So now, I'm still left with no real solution. Now it's like both management groups are trying to kick a ball back and forth on whose responsibility it is to finish the job. I don't care, I just want it done once and for all!!! It is UNACCEPTABLE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND EMBARRASSING FOR WALLS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT GROUP TO EVEN CALL THEMSELVES THIS WHEN THEY DON'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT TENANTS. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but over a year to fix something is crazy. I did everything I was supposed to as a responsible tenant.

Max, Ivan, and Ashley who act as the property managers could be a little more responsive for RPA on behalf of the "owners" who are the same people that own RPA under another LLC. Emails go unanswered and phone calls unanswered at times. Maintenance vendors are very friendly and fair priced. Would recommend them in the future to prospective tenants. Overall we are happy with the home and hope to stay another lease term.

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. Let's start with when we moved in within the…read morefirst four or five months. The roof started leaking. It took them two whole weeks to send someone out to fix it. They left a hole in the roof on the inside but patched it up on the outside and are claiming that we caused the damage. How? They were too lazy to put a new roof on and/or didn't want to seal the inside of the house's vulnerable spot from water damage caused by the leak. Secondly, about a year into renting, our bedroom window had red mold and was leaking water. We promptly put in a maintenance request, but they didn't come for a whole month. We finally reached out to the landlord, Max himself, to inform him of my allergies and asthma. The mold is not good for anyone with these conditions. They finally came out after weeks of trying to get ahold of anyone. There's so much more I could go on about, but I think this is enough to make my point. I absolutely do not recommend this company to anyone. We are very disappointed and they're very unprofessional. Big thumbs down.

I've had alot of crappy landlords and am pleased to say Loyal Property Management is not one of…read morethem! I've been in my apartment for over two years and really have no complaints. When I looked at my apartment the first time I was met by Jim, who may be the owner of the company. He was very sweet and my application process went quickly and smoothly. My apartment is totally affordable, but I can't say if that's because of the out of the way location or if most of their units are reasonably priced. While lacking in some areas (no dishwasher, ants, strange layout) my little apartment excels in others (washer/dryer just outside my door, enclosed backyard, storage in garage). The staff have been quick to respond to my needs and requests, which have ranged from replacing the toilet seat to installing a fluorescent bulb. I'll have to update after I move out to see what becomes of my deposit, but for now, Loyal Property Management is a landlord I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I am not sure how large Loyal Realty is, but I feel like they care about their customers and renters like a small company. The website states Loyal Realty can help you buy, sell, or lease a home, so they do more than just rentals. The office is way north Ballard in Loyal Heights. Next door to an Italian joint and there's a good bakery up the street.

I don't know how much longer my senior dog (15) nor myself can handle the hike to only the 5th floor, but as far as I know, nothing is happening. Consider this building a 6 story walk up! I'll change my tune when it's fixed and there's some guarantee this won't ever happen for this length of time again. As usual the terrible contract with elevator repair company didn't allow them to do anything at all the first day it happened because it was a Sunday. Isn't this an emergency for some? When the elevator is working, I still love the building and the views. Original Review: I have been living here for 3 years and the elevator goes through periods of outages. Don't get me wrong, I love this building! It wouldn't be so bad if the contract with the elevator company wasn't so bad. If it goes out, you're stuck until the next or the following business day (we're the lowest priority). This isn't considered an emergency, yet at least 3 tenants on the 6th floor use a cane, walker or wheelchair. I'm the whiny guy on the 5th floor with a dog. Just getting tired of it! Leasing agents do their absolute best! They try tirelessly to fix the issue themselves. This is an owner issue.

This building is well designed and maintained. Units are spacious, with a sensible amount of…read morestorage and good insulation from surrounding units and the outdoors. I have lived in a studio on the 6th floor for over two years and the view and year-round sunlight from the south side are fantastic. If you opt for a top floor unit, I strongly recommend an air conditioner, speaking as a utilities miser who prides herself on "experiencing the seasons." The rooftop is also great, very peaceful. The entire management team is incredibly on it and kind, problem solving issues as they come up with grace and speed. Rent seems fair and has only been raised on me once, by less than $50, in the time I have lived here. It's a gem in Ballard.

I'd choose Rob and team again in a heartbeat. In January, Rob put together a timeline for renovations and targeted listing for early spring. I had my doubts on whether we could hit such an aggressive timeline, but Rob delivered with authority. There was no way we could have gotten on the market in this timeframe without the extensive network Rob built over the past 25 years, the boundless energy he put into driving the project, and his charisma with the HOA and buyers' agents. Prior to the sale, the condo had been rented for a decade, and it was managed by Rob and team for the first 9 of those years. Rob was consistently on top of things - whenever issues arose, he had solutions ready immediately. I only truly appreciated how easy and smooth Rob made my role when WPM suddenly replaced my property's manager, and the problems started. I won't be making that mistake again - when I have real estate needs, I'll be calling RGRG!
