She's left them with no heater during the winter and won't fix anything that is broken in general. Expect to have dead grass because there are no sprinklers or gardeners. Once I called her to complain about our previous neighbors (we have had a lot since they all eventually leave the second the lease is up) they were parking over 8 cars in our driveway and would constantly block us out and I've been been late to work and scratched my car twice because of how close they would park. I told her it was a fire hazard and that legally she cannot have more that one family living in that home (I guess the neighbor would rent out rooms to her sons friends). I would knock on their door constantly and leave notes and even went to City Hall to see what I can do but thankfully I woke up one morning to see a moving truck and it was the best day of my life. They left and now our new neighbors only have 2 cars no more than 3. When I contacted Alma herself on the phone she told me "I don't give a crap, call the cops for all I care I don't have time for this" and hung up on my face. That's Alma Smith for you, I would stay away until she finally forks up this house and sells it because obviously she's doing a terrible job because at one point the house was on the market for a long time before someone even leased it and when someone signs a lease with her they always end up regretting it.

This is mainly because the manager of the property, Mel, sets the highest standard for what a property manager/landlord should be. He was always readily available if we ever needed to contact him. He was extremely efficient in responding and sending someone out to our unit if we ever needed something fixed, replaced, or looked at. The best thing about Mel is that he cared. He cares about the unit your renting or staying in, of course, be he also made it feel like he cared about us which is an uncommon quality in landlords/managers nowadays. If you ever get the chance to rent a property managed by NorthStar Real Estate Group and Mel, himself, you have to jump at the opportunity. You'll be in great hands.

Once I decided to rent the property instead of sell it, I was introduced to my property management team. I was a bit nervous since previously I had a family friend living in the house and never dealt with this kind of situation. My team was Abby, Denise, and Ernesto, and they made everything so easy. Ernesto and Abby did a fantastic job getting the house ready, and Denise did an awesome job showing the home. There was communication throughout the entire process. I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful team to help me through all of this. If you have any type of real estate needs, do not hesitate using Marshall Reddick.

I want to share my sincere appreciation for Jimmy Lam at Lotus Escrow for the exceptional care and…read moreprofessionalism he showed throughout our recent transaction. As the daughter of the seller, I was closely involved in the closing process, and Jimmy truly went above and beyond. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the escrow signing documents, ensuring we understood everything before moving forward. What stood out most was his willingness to make necessary corrections to the vesting/title exactly as the buyer had requested before filing--rather than simply relying on an amended letter. This level of diligence mattered greatly to me, as I needed to see those corrections reflected clearly throughout the documents prior to signing. Coming from a background as a paralegal, I understand how critical it is for documents and contracts to be accurate and properly executed. Issues that are overlooked can create serious problems down the line. Jimmy respected that perspective and never pressured us to rush. Instead, he honored our request to carefully review every document, giving us the time and space we needed to ensure everything was in my mother's best interest. I also want to acknowledge Janici Pan, who served not only as our agent but as a true advocate. She consistently ensured that every step of the process aligned with what was best for my mother. We deeply value her commitment and her belief that we are stewards of what belongs to God, and that such responsibilities should be handled with integrity and care. Overall, we are incredibly grateful for the professionalism, patience, and integrity shown by both Jimmy and Janici. Their attention to detail and respect for our concerns gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.

In my experience, the way the company presented itself before we signed the management contract felt noticeably different from how things went once they were actually managing our community. Before hiring, communication felt positive and accommodating, but after the contract was in place, their responsiveness and overall attitude toward homeowners seemed to change in a way I found disappointing. Work orders were sometimes delayed, disregarded, or not completed. Communication was not always punctual, and at times interactions with homeowners felt argumentative rather than collaborative. I also had concerns about financial management. From my perspective, some contractor bids appeared higher than expected, and the accounting we received did not always feel clear or transparent. This left me uncomfortable with how funds might be allocated. Important due-diligence notes for boards considering this company (or any management firm): Carefully review the wording of any proposed repair scopes and contract terms. I encountered line items that felt vague to me. Do your own diligence: ask for detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, and contingencies. Obtain multiple competitive bids before approving repairs, and compare like-for-like scopes. Request regular, easy-to-follow financial reports and ask clarifying questions until everything is clear. These are my personal observations and opinions based on direct experience, and others may have different experiences. For any community evaluating management services, I recommend asking detailed questions up front, requiring transparent documentation, and closely reviewing contracts, scopes, and financials before moving forward.
