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.

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.

I strongly recommend that prospective tenants do their due diligence before renting a property…read moremanaged by this company. I have not even lived in my rental for a full year, and my experience with the management company and property owner has been extremely distressing. One of my biggest concerns has been ongoing water intrusion, moisture, and mold-related issues at the property. Based on my experience, I do not believe the condition of the property or the extent of these problems was accurately represented to me before I moved in. Had I known what I would ultimately be dealing with, I would have made a very different decision. Throughout my tenancy, I have repeatedly dealt with water-damage and repair issues. Repairs have not always been completed in what I consider a reasonable or timely manner, and some promised work has still not been completed. I have documentation of my communications, repair concerns, water-intrusion issues, and agreements made regarding the condition of the property. Communication has been another major problem. In my experience, I have received information that I later found to be inconsistent with what was actually happening or with other communications I received. I have also felt pressured to sign documents while dealing with unresolved problems at the property. The entire experience has left me feeling that protecting the tenant was not a priority. What makes this especially disappointing is that tenants depend on property management companies to be transparent about a property's condition, respond promptly when serious problems arise, and communicate honestly when something goes wrong. I am now dealing with the consequences of issues that I believe should have been properly disclosed and addressed before and during my tenancy. There is much more to my experience than I can reasonably include in one review. I have kept records and documentation of what has occurred. If you are considering renting a property managed by this company, I strongly encourage you to thoroughly inspect the property, ask detailed questions about any history of leaks, water intrusion, moisture or mold, get representations and repair promises in writing, read every document carefully before signing, and keep copies of all communications. I wish someone had given me this warning before I moved in.
