Please let this be a WARNING to all future tenants. I know it's hard to find housing in this town,…read morebut please do not rent from RE 831! The owner Suzie does not think of you as a person you are just a pocketbook to her. I lived in my apartment for five years and it was so sad to see neighbors come and go so frequently due to the yearly 10% rent increase. I have plenty of stories about Suzie and her employee Lisa acting as though they are beyond superior to me and my other neighbors. Stories Including the owners coming onto my property and going inside without asking, I know a few past tenants that have had to take her to small claims. But here is my doozy of a story. Buckle up because it's a good one, I have attached screenshots of emails of proof of this happening. When I moved in one of my neighbors that I had shared a wall with were sadly using drugs heavily, and there was a lot of domestic violence going on. They eventually moved out. About a week later after them moving out , I heard and saw one of the old tenants coming and going showering and bringing people over in the middle of the night while the house was empty. I called the police and emailed Suzie about this multiple times and in her emails she states that she DOUBTS I am hearing and seeing this man coming and going in the middle of the night to an empty house and squatting. Let me tell you, I spoke to him one of the mornings when he was leaving, I have video of him coming and going, and yes, I had made two police reports about this. She still "doubted" that I was seeing and hearing him. I was concerned for my neighbors safety and myself. I was shocked at the carelessness and heartless manner that Suzie was handling the situation. I'm just beyond words that people like her even exist on this planet, so please , if you want to be treated like a human being and that your concerns and money mattertake my story as a warning and do not rent from RE 831. Edit : After posting my original review above, I decided I wanted to add the screenshots of Susie and Lisa trying to cover their steps after admitting that the owners had come into my apartment with no prior communication. Mind you, they came into my apartment while I was moving out. The screenshots for this incident are from my email with the little moon symbol so you don't get confused of the two events. Sorry if they are posting out of order! Also, my building was falling apart! The termites are running rampant in this building, and Susie was notified of this matter multiple times and nothing has been done. You can hear rodents running through the walls, my light fixture stopped working because I believe rats probably ate through the wiring in my ceiling. The only time you'll ever see Susie is when she zooms up the driveway in her Porsche Cayenne to collect change from the washer and dryer that barely even works.

## Review for Mike Castle - Century 21 Real Estate Alliance…read more Mike was professional and friendly throughout our interactions. He replied to my messages and calls promptly and took quick action on important matters. As a tenant on Section 8 facing legal issues, Mike's expertise in real estate law was invaluable. He successfully negotiated a HAP contract with my housing authority, where three previous landlords had failed. This saved me from having to live in my car at the last minute. I found Mike's listing on Zillow.com after trying other options where landlords required separate application fees. On Zillow, I only paid a one-time $35 fee to send my background check to unlimited landlords. Mike's listing was the first one I saw, and it was for a luxury condo on the ocean. Mike went above and beyond in every aspect, drawing on his 40 years of experience in real estate and property management. He hired painters and cleaners to make the unit look new, bought a new refrigerator and stove, and even managed to repair a 40-year-old louvre window crack by finding the exact aftermarket part and hiring a mechanic to fix the internals. This allowed the county to pass the unit, saving me. As a final touch of kindness, Mike left a week's worth of breakfast food in the fridge and toiletries for me, like a luxury hotel. I feel so grateful to Mike for his integrity and for fighting for me like attorney Larry H. Parker. If you're looking for a property manager or Realtor who will go the extra mile to ensure your success, I highly recommend Mike Castle.

Cheri is a Rock Star!…read more I've been in Silicon Valley for the last 15 years and I always had a special place in my heart for Aptos. My wife and i decided to just "explore" the area since the bay area was just getting out of reach in terms of home prices. We met Cheri randomly at an open house and she immediately told us about the recent growth in Aptos. She had maps of the proposed Aptos Village shopping/living area, and knew just about everything going on in the area. Cheri put us on her email list, but always had questions as to why we liked or disliked a property, and would let us know what was going on each weekend in the area so we could get to know it better. We fell in love with a Spanish colonial home. Cheri prepared us for every contingency, and was extremely knowledgeable in telling us what to expect next. It was the smoothest process to buy a home i have ever experienced. Cheri has an extensive network in the area so if you need work done on the house she has you covered. I highly recommend her if you are looking to escape to the beach!

Do NOT DO BUSINESS WITH I tried for sometime to rent a…read morewarehouse at 54 Old Pueblo Rd from them. I noticed the place has been available for over 6 months with no movement. I contacted Allen property and Taylor Cohan. Taylor is the most lethargic, unmotivated property agent I have ever met. After playing phone tag and him approving the use I needed it for, we agreed to a time to view the warehouse. The guy showed up late looking like he just came off a bender and didn't bring the keys, genius. So I chased him down to meet the next day and he was late again but called. I viewed the warehouse and we decided to move forward. I had told Taylor my credit score was low but I could provide stellar rental references and pay the first year in advance. Taylor said that would work and he would present this to the owner and see what we could work out. So my rental reference sent a reference to Taylor. I also sent a profit loss statement, a personal letter describing my situation. This is the first time using Taylor's email so I was looking for confirmation that he received my personal information? I send him a text on a Friday to see if he received. Most professional managers will acknowledge your very personal emails with a response, not him. So my text went ignored. On Monday I texted again to see if he received, once again crickets no response, very amateur. Then I called Allen Properties and asked for Steve Allen the owner, I left him a voicemail about Taylor's incompetence. A woman named Felicia called me back and apologized for Taylor's incompetence, almost like its a regular thing. I told Felicia I had sent personal document to Taylor and he hasn't told me he received them. Felicia then told me that she would present my info and that I'd pay a year in advance for the warehouse to the owner to the owner. Taylor and Felicia called me back together and told me the owner denied rent for the warehouse a year in advance and denied my references that were excellent. I get screwed because Taylor sucks at his job and the owner of the warehouse gets screwed because Taylor sucks at his job, and Allen properties gets this bad review because Taylor sucks at his job. Steve Allen I was told was in the loop the whole way on this? Nice work Steve good company ethics.
